Democrats Have a Serious Turnout Problem Heading Into Election Day
« on: November 04, 2024, 02:39:50 pm »


According to a memo from the Trump campaign that PJ Media received, Democrats are experiencing a significant turnout problem in early voting compared to previous elections. The data shows that Republicans are outperforming Democrats in absentee ballots and early votes across all the battleground states. The memo also highlights a decrease in urban turnout for Democrats, while rural turnout appears to be rising, potentially benefiting Trump’s campaign.

"Democrats are spinning themselves and reporters by claiming that their voters will turn out on Election Day when polls show otherwise and, most importantly, that’s asking Democrat voters to do something they have absolutely no history of doing," writes Tim Saler, the head of grassroots targeting and the chief data consultant for the Trump campaign and the RNC. "If Democrats, who historically vote ahead of Election Day, haven’t been motivated to show up for Kamala yet, why do we expect them to show up tomorrow?"...

...As a result, Rasmussen Reports' polling has been consistent during this cycle and shows Trump “up two points nationally,” revealing a “mind change of about 6-7 points” from Biden to Trump from 2020 to 2024. He attributes this shift to “low propensity voters crawling over broken glass to vote Trump” while some Democrat-leaning voters stay “on the couch in traditionally blue areas.”

It certainly looks like Mitchell is correct, based on the aforementioned early vote numbers. He argued that the polling industry is still “a little bit left” of reality and underestimates the enthusiasm among Trump’s base.

FWIW, I've not seen a single Harris/Waltz sign anywhere in Texas this year. Not a single one.

Thanks @bigheadfred for those. It's bigly because Rats operate on early, banked votes, as their base is far more unpredictable in getting them to the polls.

It also means many of these polls are skewed in the wrong direction. I don't care the demographic, if the vote is more rural than the polls are proportioning, then that favors Trump.

For example, look at the hurricane ravaged part of NC. they are voting heavy despite that.

I've seen them around here, typically a neighbor puts up a Trump sign, and then their neighbors put up a Harris sign in retaliation.

That’s amazing. There are more Trump signs around here than Harris, but they aren’t difficult to find.

Amazing. I was looking into the details of early voting for PA. 700,000 fewer Dems have voted compared to 2020 while the Republicans are on par with the last cycle. That kind of change can’t be explained by the Covid effect of 2020.

I'm sure I could find one if I went looking but I haven't seen a single one in my normal travels.
