Will White Women Abandon Trump In This Election?

 

The chart above is from the Galvanize Action Poll - done on September 20th of 8,006 white women in 10 battleground states (WI, PA, OH, MI, ME, NE, AZ, NV, MT, and FL). It has a margin of error of 1.42 points.

In 2016 and 2020, a majority of white women voted for Donald Trump. If this poll is right, that may not happen in 2024.

Poll Predictions Of A Close Election Should Cause A Large Voter Turnout

 

In some elections, the polls show one candidate far ahead of the other. That tends to depress the voter turnout. Those supporting the leading candidate think their candidate doesn't need their vote, and those supporting the candidate far behind think their candidate can't win. Many in both groups stay at home on Election Day and don't vote.

That is not the case in this election. All the polls are predicting a very close election, and most have their results within the poll's margin of error. That has voters thinking that either candidate could win - the one they support or the one they oppose. That is likely to cause a huge turnout of voters.

I believe that will help the Democrats - both in the presidential race and down ballot.

The MAGA voters were going to turn out regardless. They love their candidate. But they are not a majority. A large turnout usually helps Democrats. And with a majority of voters having a negative view of Trump - and many scared of what he would do if elected - I believe that will again be the case.

I believe Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will win - and so will a lot of down ballot Democrats. And if they do, we can thank the polls predicting a close election

Trump Mental State Is In A Serious Decline

This Election Will Determine Who We Are And What Our Country Will Be


In the past, our national elections have been mainly about economic and foreign policies. Those are important issues and determined the path the country would take for the following four years. 

But none of those past elections were as important is this election. That's because this election is about much more basic things. It will define what kind of people the majority of Americans are and what kind of country the United States really is.

How do you want to be defined, and what kind of country do you want?

Are you a racist who want only whites to have and exercise power? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want.

Do you oppose religious freedom and want laws reflecting the Bible - not the Constitution? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want?

Do you want the Constitution ignored and the law to be used to punish political opponents? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want.

Do you want immigrants demonized and deported - even many documented immigrants? That's what Donald Trump and his supporters want.

Do you want women to be second-class citizens - unable to control their own bodies or oppose the desires of men? That's what Donald Trump and his supporters want.

Do you want the minimum wage to be a poverty wage - forcing millions of hard-working full time workers to live in poverty? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want.

Do you want the death of our democracy and the institution of authoritarian rule? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want.

Do you think billionaires should pay a lower tax rate than those in the working and middle classes? That's what Donald Trump and his followers want.

Donald Trump and his MAGA followers have a dark vision for this country. They don't respect the Constitution, rules of law, equal rights, or democracy. Voting for them would define Americans as racist, homophobic, misogynistics, and xenophobic. And it would turn our democratic country into a white power fascist state.

We can prevent this, but only if all of the country's decent and democratic-loving people vote. 

You have the power to save this country from Trump's dark vision. Please vote - and make sure you friends and family do also. Every single vote is important in this election - whether in a red state, a blue state, or a swing state. 

Don't be the one that stayed home on Election Day. You would always regret that.
