As a non-American, I will never understand how this race is even close.

The sad issue is that national polls don't really say much as it is mostly up to voters in 7 swing states.

WE CANT AFFORD 4 MORE YEARS OF THIS - TIM WALZ 😂😂😂😂 I AGREE AMERICA AGREES THE WORLD AGREES

[timothyotano]

No one believes she is tied with Trump. Come on

[billywright]

I'm excited for election day, but also terrified at the same time

I rarely agree with Trump, but one sentiment I do agree with, is that we do need to make America great again.
America was great when we trusted our elections.
America was great when we respected the press.
It was great when we encouraged more people to vote rather than suppress them.
America was great when our leaders treated each other with dignity and a mutual understanding that we are all Americans first and affiliated with a party second.
We were great when we had the back of our foreign allies and were there to help in times of crisis.
America was great when we embraced the future we all created together.
And I still think America is great. There are still 100s of millions that hold these concepts of greatness to be true. We just need to restore decency, respect the ability to compromise when needed.
We are great at our core and will always be great if we strive to be.

Let me start with this, I grew up in a middle class family.

[billlohan]

I’d these polls are right it’s over. 5 percent Will vote for trump and not admit it to pollsters

[carlospayan]

One of them has a parole officer and yet here we are! Tied. Wow!!!

[Tom.]

We have had enough. “They are eating your dogs!!!” Was the worst piece of garbage propaganda ever uttered by an American presidential candidate. And Mr Trump screamed it while losing a debate on National TV. That was it for me. Voting blue for country.🇺🇸💙

[mycat]

If we learned anything from 2016 it is to not to pay attention to polls. They are misleading...vote and vote for the love of our country and for the love of sanity.

If you don't think Harris isn't out there doing interviews and speeches explaining her plan, you might want to go outside and look around.

[thundavolt]

The way I view America’s problem is that there are people that were building horse drawn carriages and the world is moving towards using cars. These people’s concerns aren’t being met and there’s someone that’s ready to sell them a dream just to get into power but leave them high and dry. The Democrats need to address these concerns. You can’t dismiss these people as dumb. They are desperate. It’s easy to manipulate a desperate person.

Unbelievable!
A guy who does not even know how tariffs work and who donates billions of taxpayers dollars to billionaires leads on economy questions.
What a joke...

[Dittxxyinc]

Can’t wait for Kamala to unburden the burden that was burdened from being unburdened.🤔

As someone who's a 3rd Gen UAW worker I can say Trump will never get the support of the UAW. Sure some workers will support him but he has a long history of looking down on auto workers and Unions in general, under his administration the UAW faced more scares of layoffs and closures of plants. When he was talking about putting more tariffs on steel from China and parts from Mexico back in 2018 I asked a friend of mine who was a manager on the body shop line "how long could we run the plant if that happens?" He said "one day". He made his position on Unions clear with comments like "You striking is ruining the economy", "just be grateful you have a job even though you don't have a fair COLA", "Union workers make way too much" says the supposed billionaire. He made speeches at anti-union factories, disparaged workers and makes all these promises but will then sell us out the second he gets the chance.

Keep in mind that the FDR democratic party has been in an uphill battle vs corporate media since 1932. It's a constant struggle. We ALL need to, as early as possible, vote BLUE up & down the ballot in 2024.

[CentralParkHusky]

Why does every media outlet keep emphasizing how close it is? I suspect it is not going to be a close election, but they keep telling people that to encourage more participation to vote by mail or in person.

[idstandard]

Historically people were a little reluctant to talk about Trump because he was so out there, but I don’t think that happens now
I think just the opposite that women are reluctant to talk about abortion, rights and reproductive rights. They’re going to vote.
You see these surveys where the economies important and immigration important like somebody gives a damn about immigration in the middle of the United States. They care about the fact that they can’t control their own bodies and their own families and men forget, but women never forget.

We’re y’all better off in 2019 or are y’all better off 2024 under Bidenomics. ?
