    And because of demographic distribution and the electoral college, it’s still very possible she will lose

    From the article:

    Kamala Harris is now in the lead among Generation X, Generation Z, millennials, baby boomers and the silent/greatest generations in a new poll.

    With less than three weeks until the presidential election on November 5, attention is on what the polls are saying. In general, there are incredibly tight, marginal leads on either side, suggesting a neck-and-neck race.

    But a new Marist poll shows Harris enjoying the lead among every generation surveyed between October 8 and 10.

    Some 53 percent of Generation Zs (people born between 1997 and 2012) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) said they supported Harris, over 47 percent who said they supported Donald Trump.

    Meanwhile, Harris enjoyed a 55 percent lead among baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and the silent/greatest generation (born between 1901 and 1927), over Trump’s 45 percent.

    Harris also had the lead among these generations in Marist’s previous poll, carried out between September 27 and October 1, but Trump had a 53 percent majority from Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980).

    However, Trump lost this lead in the most recent Marist poll, which shows Generation X divided with 51 percent for Harris and 48 percent for Harris.

    No matter what the polls say, no matter what your gut tells you: get out and vote. Voting is the only thing that matters in an election and anyone that tells you otherwise either has something to gain by you not voting or is flat out wrong. Something like half of all voters don’t vote in Presidential elections, people refusing to vote in 2016 likely tipped the balance to Trump, don’t make the same mistake they did.

    Secondly, voting 3rd party in a Presidential election is also the same thing as voting for the minority party (Republicans) in a two-party system, there’s no path to the presidency by a third party, they can’t even win a single electoral vote, the final deciding votes, let alone the 270 required to win. I know you’re upset about Gaza, we all are, but Trump will enable the final destruction of Gaza guaranteed, is that what you want?

    When deciding on a candidate, the question you must ask yourself is which trajectory do you think we should be on? Should we be unwinding peoples rights? Restricting women and doctors from making lifesaving decisions? Stacking the courts with the most unqualified judges because they’re from the Federalist Society and will continue to roll back our rights? (Republicans) Or should we be supporting working class people, pushing for universal healthcare, capping drug prices and addressing climate change? (Democrats)

    Finally, there are no perfect candidates, and every single one has their flaws simply because they’re all human but if all you’re doing is nit-picking about flaws or a refusing to vote over a single policy that you disagree with, you’re missing the forest for the trees.

  4. Newsweek headline tomorrow:

    Kamala headed for historic loss as Donald Trump pulls ahead in every battleground state: Poll

  5. It’s surprising to see Harris leading across all generations, but it shows how voters are responding to the issues right now. With the election so close, every little shift in support could really matter.

  6. Newsweek later today: Donald Trump overtakes Kamala in every generation in major polling shift

    Which doesn’t mean anything election wise.

    In fact according to RealClearPolling Trump is gaining on her. Unfortunately. It was 2.2 Harris for a while, but it’s now 1.7. And in the battle states Trump is in front in 6 of the 7, albeit only marginally. This was about 50/50 just a week ago. The trend is going the wrong way if you ask me.

  8. Stop fucking posting Newsweek. They’re changing their polling literally hour to hour just to get clicks. 

  9. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-polls-1969860) reduced by 81%. (I’m a bot)

  10. Kamala Harris leading in the polls across all generations is pretty surprising and shows she’s resonating well, but with the election just around the corner, it’s still anyone’s game. Polls can change fast, so it’ll be interesting to see how things pan out.

    Don’t care what the polls say. Get out and vote dem straight ticket. Maybe gop will regain it’s sanity if this happens

  12. I want her to obliterate republicans this cycle. Best them so badly that it trickles down into senate/house/local elections

    As a non American I’m curious, does anybody think that there is very possibly a large number of Republicans who just aren’t going to vote because of Trump. You’d never hear about it because they could never say it out loud, but I’ve met quite a few right leaning Americans who I would have thought wouldn’t get behind the guy after the claims he’s made. Just curious, this whole thing is like morbid reality tv.

  14. I’d rather that the polls show she isn’t leading, just so more people actually vote. I think the more people hear how likely she is to win, the more they won’t think they need to. 

    VOTE ANYWAY!

    But yesterday they were deadlocked. Day before he was ahead. Don’t trust the polls. Please Vote! Vote Blue!

  16. Those who give feedback to polls also need to vote. Please do so as soon as early voting starts in your district

  17. But NBC put the election at a dead heat yesterday. What changed? Asking for 86 million people.

    “Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump among every generation

    How this is bad for Kamala Harris.

    On the next Newsweek”

    I hate this rag.

  19. Gold-Judgment-6712 on

    I’m not even American, but I hope the polls overestimate Trump’s support. Let him lose in a humiliating way!

    Good old Newsweek.

    Giving you headlines that don’t matter to get your liberal circlejerk clicks.

    Because of the Electoral college, this doesn’t matter. Nor is it true. Nothing Newsweek says in a headline is actually true or important.
