New voter registrations surged among Black women and young people inĀ Pennsylvania whenĀ Kamala Harris became theĀ Democratic nominee for president, according to newly released data.
In the week thatĀ Joe BidenĀ announced he would not run for re-election, new registrations increased by 262 per cent among Black women under 30 compared to the same week in 2020.
Registrations among Black voters increased by 110 per cent, and among voters under 30 years old by 59 per cent, also compared to the same week in 2020.
All of those demographic groups leanĀ heavily towards voting for Democrats.
This is why polling sucks, or rather, that scientific polling canāt account for what it canāt account for. Unlikely voters, have never voted previously, where why Trump did so much better than his polling showed in 2016 and 2020.
Donāt sleep on him.
Exactly. I hate these articles that encourage complacency. Pennsylvania is on a knifeās edge and everyone needs to vote. You could write an article about the signs pointing in Trumpās favor in PA just as easily if not more.
Register to vote. Check your registration to make sure itās active. Tell your friends to do the same. Make a plan to vote. Help your friends make a plan to vote. These are the only messages that are helpful in PA.
I could read articles from every single paper in the world giving me detailed breakdowns by renowned scientists, statisticians, math experts, and even some geologists if youāre feeling frisky, all telling me how Harris is 99.99999999% likely to win, and only 10,000 votes will go to anyone else, and that will still not change my opinion.
GO VOTE
That cuts both ways though. Trump lost the last election, and since then there have been a few things happen. How would Jan 6, and all the crimes Trump is convicted or indicted for affect the likeliness of an unlikely vote to go out and vote for him again?
Something no one can know either way. Thereās really no reason to bother considering the top line of the polling data. Itās all about looking at polling about the issues people are concerned about and addressing those concerns.
Given we really have no way of knowing what will happen on election day, the only thing to do is to keep convincing people to vote for Harris right up to election day.
