2024 US Presidential Election

[Thumpalumpacus]

Vice President Harris is narrowly leading former President Trump in six critical battleground states, while the candidates are tied in Georgia, according to new polling.

The survey, published late Thursday by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult, found the Democratic nominee has the edge over Trump in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Harris has a 7-point lead over Trump in Nevada — 52 percent to 45 percent — and a 5-point lead in Pennsylvania, 51 percent to 46 percent. In Arizona and Michigan, the vice president has a 3-point edge over the GOP nominee, 50 percent to 47 percent.

Her lead is much smaller in North Carolina, 50 percent to 48 percent, and Wisconsin, 51 percent to 48 percent. The two White House contenders are tied in Georgia with 49 percent support apiece, the survey found.

The majority of Harris’s leads, with the exceptions of Nevada and Pennsylvania, are within the survey’s margin of error.

With Election Day less than six weeks away, Harris has an overall 3-point advantage over the former president among likely voters in all seven swing states — bringing in 50 percent support to Trump’s 47 percent.

When third-party presidential candidates were added to the survey, the vice president’s lead expanded to 4 percentage points. Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver was at 2 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein was at 1 percent.

^These polls keep going back and forth between the two. I am astonished that the numbers are so damned close. Who the hell looks at Trump and says that's the guy who embodies my values?

The people who see their values in Trump, aren't seeing Trump, but Project 2025. They're not voting for a person, they're voting for the path to what they think they want life to be like. The worst part is that the majority of them will regret it, even if they get the outcome they want.

Fascists, racists, sexists, grifters, conspiracy theorists... All manner of trash to say it succinctly.

Donald Trump Threatens Prosecution Of Google Over The Display Of Negative Stories In Search Results

Donald Trump says that he will seek the prosecution of Google, claiming that the tech giant was only “revealing and displaying” bad stories about him but positive ones about his rival, Kamala Harris.

Trump’s post on Truth Social appeared to be in reaction to a Media Research Center study that claims Google’s search is biased in favor of Harris.

Google, though, says that the study’s conclusions are wrong and that “both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries.”

Media Research Center is a media watchdog on the right, which has long claimed media bias.

Trump’s call for prosecuting Google executives is the latest in a line of retaliatory pronouncements made by the former president against tech and media outlets.
