Final NBC News poll: Harris-Trump race
is neck and neck, with significant gender gap
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/4/2024 5:35:39 PM
The final national NBC News poll of the 2024 presidential campaign finds a neck and neck contest defined by clashing forces that have aided both Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump in their pursuit of the White House. Taken together, the poll shows Harris getting support from 49% of registered voters in a head-to-head matchup, while Trump gets an identical 49%. Just 2% of voters say they’re unsure about the choice. Boosting Harris: rising Democratic enthusiasm, a 20-point lead over Trump on the issue of abortion, and an advantage for Harris on which candidate better looks out for the middle class.

The Fox News Decision Desk projected that incumbent Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will defeat his Democratic opponent Rep. Colin Allred on Tuesday, and win a third term in the U.S. Senate.
Cruz won his last re-election effort in 2018, beating Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke.
Cruz has represented the Lone Star State in the upper chamber of Congress since 2013. Allred represents Texas’ 32nd Congressional District in the House.
Cruz is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He previously clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist and was solicitor general of Texas. Cruz argued nine cases before the Supreme Court.
Texas voters went for Donald Trump on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, giving the Republican nominee the state’s 40 electoral votes and continuing its streak of going red in every presidential election since it went for Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Neither candidate has yet reached the 270 electoral votes necessary to clinch the race.
Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated Trump's victory.
"Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his overwhelming victory in Texas," Abbott said in a statement. "Texans know who will slash inflation, secure our southern border, unleash American energy and crack down on violent crime -- and that's Donald Trump. Texans rejected Kamala Harris'
Donald Trump was the projected winner of Florida's 30 Electoral votes Tuesday night, marking his third-straight victory in the Sunshine State.
Trump, who carried the state by a whisker in 2016 and then by a much larger 3.5% share in 2020, appeared to be ahead of Democrat Kamala Harris by more than 10 % with over 75% of the vote counted.
The win for the Republican nominee solidifies Florida's new reputation as a GOP stronghold.
Once considered the ultimate swing state that twice supported Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, Florida now appears to be fully red.
Popular Gov. Jim Justice (R) rolled to an easy victory to pick up retiring Sen. Joe Manchin’s (I) seat in West Virginia, marking the first time Republicans have won the seat since the 1950s.
He defeated little-known Democratic challenger Glenn Elliott, the mayor of Wheeling.
Democratic leaders in Washington privately conceded months ago that Republicans would capture the seat.
Justice’s win likely gives Republicans control of at least 50 Senate seats unless independent candidate Dan Osborn can pull off an upset over Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) in Nebraska or Rep. Colin Allred (D) can shock Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in the Texas Senate race.
Early exit polls are showing that most Americans are not happy with the status quo in the country.
Roughly three-quarters of the US electorate holds a negative view of the way things are going in the US today, according to the initial results of CNN’s national exit poll of voters in this year’s presidential election.
Only about one-quarter call themselves enthusiastic or satisfied with the state of the nation, with more than 4 in 10 dissatisfied and roughly 3 in 10 saying they’re angry.
But voters remain generally optimistic, with more than 6 in 10 saying that America’s best days are in the future
Kamala Harris has been caught in an embarrassing Election Day gaffe after flipping her cell around to the cameras while 'on the phone with a voter' - to reveal she was seemingly not on a call at all.
'Have you voted already?' a beaming Harris said on the phone. She paused as though listening, before exclaiming: 'You did, thank you!'
The Vice President then turned her phone screen around to adoring supporters at the Democrat party's Washington DC headquarters, who applauded and cheered.
But viewers at home were lightening quick to point out that her phone appeared to show the camera app and not a phone call.
'Kamala just pretended to talk
The U.S. Capitol Visitors Center was closed Tuesday afternoon, after Capitol Police arrested a man during their security screening process who was carrying a torch and flare gun.
“Our officers just arrested a man who was stopped during our screening process at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC),” the Capitol Police wrote in a statement online.
“The man smelled like fuel, had a torch & a flare gun. The CVC is closed for tours for the day, while we investigate,” the Capitol Police continued. “We will provide more information when we can.”
Capitol Police did not release any additional information. Congress is not in session, but the House
As the presidential race captures most of the spotlight, control of Congress remains a key factor in determining the new president’s ability to pursue their agenda. According to the last round of polls before the election, Republicans seem poised to regain a Senate majority, while the battle for the House remains highly competitive.
The Senate is expected to switch to Republican control because the West Virginia Senate seat is a foregone conclusion, and Montana’s Senate seat is very likely a pickup for Republicans. Currently, GOP challenger Tim Sheehy leads incumbent Sen. Jon Tester by 7.7 points in the RCP Average for Montana.
Barring any other change,
CNN political analyst Marc Lotter issued a strong warning to the Democrats regarding early voting numbers: They're not looking good for Kamala Harris in the battleground states.
Early voting, typically dominated by Democrat voters, has seen a surge for former President Donald Trump in some of these tightly contested vitally important states. On the flip side, they've also seen a drop off in enthusiasm for the Harris-Walz ticket.
Lotter, who previously served as Press Secretary to Vice President Mike Pence, delivered a little bit of that harsh reality to a panel of experts on CNN.

Democrats in several polling locations in Pennsylvania reportedly tried to prevent Republican poll watchers from entering the building on Election Day.
The issue came to light on Tuesday morning when an X user named Linda A. Kerns announced that “FOUR of our Court appointed election workers were kicked out and told they can’t work.” Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley, in a post on X, acknowledged learning about the issue, noting that it also happened in other locations in Pennsylvania. “We deployed our roving attorneys, engaged with local officials, and can now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building,” he wrote.
Election Day is here, and Trump’s campaign is brimming with confidence, fueled by a combination of strong internal polling and encouraging early voting trends.
According to veteran political analyst Mark Halperin, Trump’s team's confidence has been “extremely high” ever since Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee. Halperin notes that the Trump camp’s confidence is more robust today than it was in 2020 or 2016.
So, where’s this confidence coming from?
For starters, Halperin points out that Trump’s internal polling paints a very favorable picture. Trump’s campaign doesn’t believe that Kamala Harris has effectively reassured voters
It's almost like Democrat movers and shakers are resigned to the probability that Tuesday's presidential election results will turn out very well for former President Donald Trump and not so much for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former Obama official David Axelrod might be a veteran Democrat hack, but every once in a while, the chief strategist of Barack Obama's two successful presidential campaigns can also be publicly honest. Such was the case when "Axe" told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that there's "zero enthusiasm on the ground for Kamala Harris in demographics that [she] most needs." "They have all said the same thing," told the glum panel.

Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 star Bette Midler appears to be coping poorly on Election Day, suggesting drinking Drano in the event that former President Donald Trump wins.
Bette Midler posted a photo to X showing a bottle of Drano clog remover with a Post-It sticker reading “Trump Wins.” Next to it is a bottle of what looks to be Korbel champagne, with a sticker reading “Kamala Wins.” (X) Bette Midler has spent a great deal of 2024 lashing out against Trump and his supporters on social media.
If Vice President Kamala Harris loses the election, several Democrat officials believe that President Joe Biden will be to blame, a new Politico Playbook report revealed.
After speaking with Democrat insiders, the outlet stated, “If Harris loses, it’ll be because… she took the reins too late.”
“Already, most Democratic officials we’ve spoken to agree: If anyone should get the blame for a Trump win, it’s Biden,” Washington, DC, correspondents Rachel Bade and Eugene Daniels wrote Monday.
According to the Democrats they spoke to, Biden’s long-held commitment to running at 81 years old despite his obviously faltering mental health and low approval rating cost Harris

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said Friday that the Democrats will support the peaceful transfer of power in January, but only “If it’s a free and fair election.”
Raskin was on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, where he said, "When I say we will support a free and fair election, no we we're not going to allow them to steal it in the states, steal it with the Department of Justice or steal it with any other election official in the country. If it's a free and fair election, we will do what we've always done: Honor it."
Maher responded, "That is the Democrats' history: They honor it.
I'm serious. MSNBC's bitter, über-racist, TDS-riddled host Joy Reid went so off the rails during her opening editorial on the Monday night episode of "The ReidOut" that she was truly hilarious. Venomous as can be, Reid spewed delusional bile about former President Donald Trump that no sane and rational person believes, beginning with the same old references to "fascism" and "Hitler," and ending with cataclysmic predictions of what will happen if Trump wins. Again, truly hilarious.
Refusing to allow facts, data, logic, or history to get in her way, Reid began (emphasis, mine)
Hunter Biden has apparently found some popularity as a Hollywood party guest ahead of his sentencing next month in two cases.
Spies said that the convicted first son, 54, was at a party in Los Angeles last week grousing about his mounting legal bills and his infamous Ukraine scandal.
Said an insider of the A-list gathering: “Hunter Biden was trying to explain his history and problems to guests at a party in LA.”
The source said Hunter was telling guests that, “‘I have $18 million in legal bills, and… my cases hanging over my head.’ He also talked a lot about his Ukraine and Russia connections saying, ‘all these stories were set-ups.'”
On the eve of Election Day, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were so confident in Vice President Kamala Harris that they spent a good portion of it begging Republicans to vote Democratic. They even trotted out rejected former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney to try to appeal to them. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg even floated their guest as the next attorney general of the United States, and possibly the director of the FBI or CIA.
Since facts don’t matter to ABC and they needed Harris to win the election, Sunny Hostin pushed the already debunked hoax the liberal media cooked up last week claiming former President Trump

On September 22, unnoticed by most Americans, the Biden-Harris administration adopted the United Nations Pact for the Future to transform global governance, which introduces the foundations of a world government. There was no debate, no media coverage, no press releases, and no interviews about the Biden-Harris administration's surrender of United States sovereignty to the UN.
Americans were apparently not supposed to find out. These agreements usher in a dystopian future, where the UN -- an active supporter of terrorism and arguably the world's most corrupt international entity... in partnership with the unelected and unaccountable World Economic Forum,

f things go according to the current outlook, the biggest loser this week will not be Kamala, it will be Barack Obama. In specific terms his legacy is on the line.Kamala Harris would not be in position without the moves Chicago Jesus made in 2020 together with James Clyburn. Obama/Clyburn picked Senator Harris.
Kamala would not be in 2024 position, were it not for the intervention of Chicago Jesus, Pelosi and the upper echelon of DNC control officers. Once again, Obama stepped in to support Kamala. Barack Obama, together with Eric Holder, then selected Tim Walz.

Harris, And The Architects Of The War

The recent controversy regarding Donald Trump’s criticism of Liz Cheney as a warhawk who has never faced the dangers of the wars she embraces has synthesized an issue that may be opaque to non-veterans: the extreme resentment many veterans of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) feel toward Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party.
Harris and the Democrats have created a perfect storm of veteran disdain in that they have succeeded in uniting three once-inapposite groups behind Harris: the neocons who started the GWOT, the media and Democrats who undermined the veterans’ GWOT missions, and the generals who failed again and again and again
The Pentagon is shirking its duty when it comes to providing active military members with the fundamental resources necessary to vote, according to three Republican congressmen. Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Mike Waltz (R-FL), and Bill Huizenga (R-MI) all signed a letter directed to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding more resources for servicemembers.
“We urge you to mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days to give every American citizen wearing our nation’s uniform the opportunity to vote if they so desire, pursuant to all federal and state regulations governing elections,” the letter states.
A Second Amendment and free speech advocate, Lily Tang Williams is the GOP candidate running for United States Congress in New Hampshire District 2. Williams' opponent is part of the D.C. machine: Maggie Goodlander worked as a Senate staffer, a White House aid, and as a deputy assistant attorney general under Attorney General Merrick Garland before resigning to run for the District 2 seat as a Democrat. The seat was held for 12 years by Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), who announced her retirement from Congress at the end of March.

It's actually a sharp swing from 2020, when Joe Biden swept all five who voted against Trump. Voting was officially underway on Election Day as six registered voters in the small town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire cast their ballots just after midnight.
The results were too close to call, as the half dozen voters were split three-to-three between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
