Who does RFK Jr take more votes from? Harris or Trump?

I feel like a big chunk of his voters would be abstaining otherwise.

But I do worry about how well he's allegedly doing with young voters.  I'm hoping that the candidate switch can win some of them back.  Gaza was never Biden's fault anyway, but it's even less Kamala's fault.  Etc.

But, yeah, I would feel better if RFK weren't in the race.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about young voters going to RFK. The overall percentage would be very low. Especially in Texas where there is just more Trump votes to take, RFK is going to be a greater drag on Trump's numbers.

Donald Trump Water GIF by GIPHY News

I'm assuming he does that because he lacks hand strength. My mom with carpal tunnel will do something similar occasionally to avoid dropping glasses. Or maybe it is just a really fucking weird habit.

You know, a lot of people are saying he's got perfect hands, maybe the strongest hands in the country, I dunno, but that's what they're saying.

Seems like her people are sending the right messages and hitting the talking points that some polls you've posted here have indicated were the most appealing to voters.

You also don't have to use fear mongering or dehumanize immigrants to sell border security. We can and should both make our border more secure AND make it easier, safer, and faster for immigrants to come here. Those things actually go together.

Nope, that aired on broadcast fox. That's why I was describing Walz as "progressive", compared to the boomer mindset and worldview he's ultra leftist. Medical care? Feeding children?? FREE COLLEGE????

As posted above, that seems big. He was one of the elected officials in Michigan telling people to vote uncommitted.

Everyone should start talking about Walz’s perfect hands. That’d drive tfg nuts that the 2nd on the opposition ticket was better than him.

I mean, putting those moochin' street urchins to work is part of the Project 2025 plan, so it seemed like that might be legit.  I was about to do some digging until I saw the couches ...

So this is not scientific at all, but some political scientists / data dorks have noticed you can draw some parallels from the WA House primary results (since everyone gets a ballot to vote in a jungle primary, so it's the most representative of a general election) to the November general election:

2022: D+10 primary results = R+2 national 
2020: D+14 primary results = D+2 national
2018: D+20 primary results = D+7 national (was actually D+8)

As of now, with some trailing mail ballots left to count, it is D+17, which would equate to around a D+5 national environmental for November.

Popular vote +5 is around the electoral college advantage the GQP holds, right?

 

Biden won by 4.5 nationally.  So I think it's a little less.  Hillary lost while winning by 2.1

I'm sorry, that's stupid. There is absolutely zero reason to think the WA house primary is representative of the national likely voting population. Any apparent pattern over the short term is entirely random.

Even the South Carolina newspaper (independently owned and conservative af) managed to fact-check the feeble-minded, sputtering ex-president.  https://www.postandcourier.com/politics/trump-88000-sc-rally-fact-check-not-true/article_44834f04-55b7-11ef-b33d-4345fa6aa03d.html
