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

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  7. Trump needs to dance more…. that’s it… dance….

  8. Newsweek headline tomorrow:

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

  9. 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.

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

  12. 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.

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

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

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

  16. 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.

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

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

  20. “Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump among every generation

    How this is bad for Kamala Harris.

    On the next Newsweek”

    I hate this rag.

  21. 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.

  22. next post ‘Newsweek: Trump leads Harris in nearly every gen of voters’.

  23. What about angry entitled white men?

    I bet his numbers are still strong with that group…

  24. A certain percentage of men (and some women) will never vote for a woman president. They just can’t fathom a woman president.Let’s just hope Kamala’s gender is not the deciding factor. It could very well be.

  25. I don’t understand why articles like this get posted (and upvoted) so often. This is not how the President is elected. The only polls that matter are about what’s going on in the swing states. Looking at [fivethirtyeight](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/wisconsin/) (all polls have error markings of about 3%):

    * Wisconsin (10 electoral votes): Harris leads by 0.5%. This is basically even. She was leading by almost 4% in late August
    * Michigan (15 electoral votes): Harris leads by 0.7%, also roughly even. She was up by 3.4% late August
    * Pennsylvania (19 electoral votes): Harris leads by 0.7%. PA has been this close throughout the last few months
    * Nevada (6 electoral votes): Harris leads by 0.7%. Also very close throughout the last few months
    * North Carolina (16 electoral votes): Trump leads by 0.8%. Close throughout the last few months
    * Georgia (16 electoral votes): Trump leads by 1%. Close throughout the last few months
    * Arizona (11 electoral votes): Trump leads by 1.6%. They’ve changed leads a few times but it’s been very close here too

    That’s 93 electoral votes, enough to give either candidate a landslide victory, all within the polling error margin. This is a close as an election can get. If you truly care about this, go vote. These articles aren’t painting a true picture.

  31. For the love of god, USA, don’t fuck this up!!! 🙏🏻😭

  32. Sane people know Trump has lost more voters than he’s gained since 2020.

    We really need to be talking about all the outrageous GOP skewed polls being election and securities fraud. Trump’s team is using these BS polls to whip up another January 6th on top of manipulating his stock price (which is tied to the likelyhood of him regaining office.)

  33. I believe it. The people fired Donald Trump after 1 term. They are over his act. Everyone besides deeply entrenched MAGA people are done with his brand of bullshit.

    That said, vote. And vote blue right down the bill do we can start healing this open wound from the last decade.

  34. National polls do not matter. Only battleground states matter. Stop wasting our time with this shit.

  36. Dave Parkman just showed how Harris is losing in every swing state. It’s early voting , but wth?

  37. Thank you Newsweek. See you in an hour with another unrealistic report that will just make more people stay home out of complacency, yeah?

  38. How is newsweek allowed on this sub?

    Every new article is a contradiction from the previous.

  40. It’s not over until it’s over. This is about the existential of western civilization. You put Trump in charge you get an authoritarian quasi democracy.

  41. If you vote for Trump you vote with Nazis. If you vote for Trump you stand beside rapists. If you vote for Trump you vote for a false prophet revels in every one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Look in the mirror. You need Jesus especially if you think you already have him.

  42. This news site should not be here, click bait titles on par with NY post.
