Kamala Harris' Lead Polling Expert Explains Trump, the Polls, and How She Wins

Kamala Harris’s lead pollster, David Binder, sits down with Dan Pfeiffer to explain how the the campaign is looking at undecided voters, Harris’s gains with Republican women, and why Gen Z men are in the spotlight. Then, The Atlantic’s Ron Brownstein dives into the big demographic shifts defining 2024, from widening gender gaps to key trends in swing states.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

Its no longer about the undecided voter now its about the unmotivated voter who hasn't cast a ballot yet

These Dan specials are about the best pre-election gift I could have hoped for. Love them and really appreciate Dan.

Already voted here in Michigan, but I'm genuinely dooming so hard. What does half the country see in that malignant, narcistic, amoral, fascist that we don't?! And why the hell are we even considering giving him ANOTHER shot, given that it LITERALLY ended in flames last time!?!? Have I gone mad!?!? Or has the country?!

I and my republican wife voted blue in FL

Women vote more than men because we always have far more to lose as far as rights and opportunities. I think the women's vote for Harris will be off the charts.

Why is it so hard for Harris to say “trump inherited a booming Obama economy. And we inherited a failing Trump economy. And we are turning that around”. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

What's on my mind is that trump has a vengeance list and kamala harris has a to do list. Voting today with my son.

Leaving reproductive rights up to the states is like leaving segregation up to the states. It's kicking the can down the road and basically saying, "We don't care if the women in Texas are dying because of the policies there--or that women in Idaho are not getting emergency care because of their inhumane policies." People who are pro-life need to be pro-life for the entire life the child who is saved--which includes making sure they are loved and cared for as growing children. But it also should include the women who give birth to those children. Mothers are not less than the babies they give birth to.
