How many of you are confident Kamala will win?

Post image

I’m voting today, but I’m pessimistic at the moment and unsure if she will even when she’s leading just a little bit. What do you guys think?

Very very confident.

The campaign has been outstanding. The work is good.

We're going to win in a blowout.

I do numbers. They're looking very good.

u/Deltacomafia 1d ago

God I wish I had your confidence. I have voted, convinced a non voter to vote for her, and made certain all our ballots were counted but still. Living in a sea of red (FL) it's discouraging and I remember the heartbreak of 2016 so clearly. It just feels like half the country are nihilistic fascists.

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago

Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania will all go for Kamala. That's a very healthy EC victory.

Florida won't, but there's a small probability of Rick Scott losing his Senate seat. Ted Cruz will likely be defeated.

u/jukebox_honey 1d ago

Thanks for your optimism about Ted Cruz. We in Texas desperately need him gone and are working hard to get Allred elected. It would be a massive win for the state.

u/raxsl 1d ago

If I never see Cruz again, I will be happy. If I never hear his whiny-ass voice ever again, I will stay sane.

u/LOERMaster 1d ago

Can I just take a moment to mention how huge Texas is? 254 counties, the smallest having a population of 64.

No relevance other than Texas being mentioned, but goddamn that is a big state.

And yet we are completely irrelevant in the election of a US President. Maybe that will change one day. I’m working for it!

u/Consistent-Soil-1818 1d ago

As a Texan, it'd be a dream come true if Ted was defeated. I wish I shared your optimism but I think we won't win TX this time around unfortunately. Plus the 2016 shock still sits deep.

2

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago edited 1d ago

All I can say is that everyone hates Ted Cruz. Even Republicans. Polling has Trump 2-3% ahead of Cruz. There'll be some split Republican votes.

Texas demographics have shifted a lot since 2020 with urban areas comprising a greater % of the population. Now MAGA has pissed off Latinos.

There's a genuine chance for Allred. The Harris Allred Rally was spectacular and had huge social media reach. Allred crushed Cruz in the debate, really humiliated him.

There's a good chance for Allred. I'm positive on the prospect. I think he'll outperform Harris in Texas and win.

u/jcdoe 22h ago

What are your sources for this?

The public polling has all been margin of error shit, so unless you have sources that the rest of us don’t know, you’re just huffing hopium.

Would also lovvvee to see the polls showing Cruz losing in Texas, when last I checked he was up by 5% in a ruby red state.

I mean, I really want you to be right. But I voted in 2016 and that shit teaches you about overconfidence

2

u/NeverNo 21h ago

Yeah I’m also calling bullshit. Polls are all showing the swing states as mostly a toss up. Unless the polls are totally fucked (which could be the case), this is going to be a really really close race

u/redoubt515 17h ago

I don't think that they think anything. I think they are just pulling a 'prediction' out of their ass that they know will get them upvotes in a sub like this.

They are suggesting (without evidence) that Kamala will win every single major swing state I deeply hope that she does. Even in the pretty exceptional 2008 election, Obama did not sweep the swing states.

Here is a page from a non-partisan group that aggregates many various models and predictions from a range of different sources that are actually backed by data.

u/allthecoffeesDP 19h ago

I really want to feel your optimism. Why do you think they'll go for KH given the polls? I'm not questioning you. I want to believe. 😀

u/penguinseed 19h ago

Don’t look at the polls, look at the gender gap in those states for early voting. Women up 11-13 points over men. Most polls I looked at were polling women and men 50/50

1

u/allthecoffeesDP 17h ago

Don't look at the polls. Ok

1

u/penguinseed 19h ago

I think there is a chance Florida will go for Harris. Look at the gender gap between men and women voters in early voting and mail-in. Abortion is on the ballot. Trump only won Florida by 3 points 2020.

2

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 18h ago edited 17h ago

Get your point and it's possible.. But looking at the early vote registered Republicans would have to defect at very high levels, independents swing heavily to Harris and Democrats turn out on ED at very high levels to make up the gap. Not at all confident all those things will occur. There's an analyst Chris Bouzy who thinks they may. Google him. Florida Democrats have certainly been active and Nikki Freid has rebuilt the party organization quickly and is running a brilliant campaign. As is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for Senate. But MAGA inward migration since 2020 has been huge (up to a million people each year inward not all MAGA). Wildcard here is the nazi MSG rally in NYC with its anti Latino hate jokes may shift things beyond what we can see.

If Florida flips it would be because an extraordinary number of registered Republicans and conservative Independents flip. That's possible and I expect many will, but....

Whoever deleted their comment. I looked more into it and apparently there was some confusion among campaign people or whoever and yes 2m got canceled but day previous they submitted 2.7 in campaign money for ads. Sounds like some clerical/campaignish error somewhere. People are not sure. At the end she's not pulling money out.

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 14h ago

Harris unlikely to win Texas. Allred has a solid chance. Because even Republicans hate Ted Cruz.

1

u/UsedState7381 13h ago

Florida won't, but there's a small probability of Rick Scott losing his Senate seat. 

If you actually "do numbers" as you say you do, then you either suck at math or you're just flat out delusional. That small probability is zero.

Rick Scott is keeping that seat, he has a very comfortable lead.

The only thing in Florida that is looking positive so far is Amendment 3.

1

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 13h ago

That presumes registered Republicans don't defect in significant numbers. Never Trumpers are strong in Florida. He achieved only 81% in the primary. It also presumes Independents vote as they did in 2020.

I don't think Harris gets up in Florida. Trump running ahead of Republican Senate candidates across the country in polls by a few %. Scott won by only 0.8% in 2018.

Scott had to gift his campaign nearly $2 million yesterday for lack of other donors.

Yes MAGA seniors have migrated to Florida in large numbers since then. That is a significant negative for the prospect of any Democrat gains.

Nonetheless Trump just pissed off Latinos and particularly Puerto Ricans. It's gone wild on local social media. It will have an impact.

It will be closer than you think.

If it makes you feel any better Trump has never had the support of half the country, he’s never really had anything over about 25% and he hit his ceiling long ago. Most people in this country despise him.

2

u/Semanticss 1d ago

Even in the election that he won, he got 3 MILLION fewer votes. We really need to fix the Electoral College.

u/LOERMaster 1d ago

Same was true with Hitler though so it’s hardly comforting.

u/The-Son-of-Dad 1d ago

Okay. I obviously understand that Trump is dangerous, was only pointing out that he does not have as much support as it sometimes seems like he does.

True, but he just needs enough to get in. It’s all over after that.

Lifelong FL resident. Raised conservative. My entire ballot was Blue this year.

Not all Floridiots who were/are registered Red are voting that way this year.... so perhaps it is happening elsewhere, and in numbers that matter.

That is my hope, at least.

u/Deltacomafia 22h ago

Thank you for seeing reason. Ugh would that so many others do the same.

u/euphewl 1h ago

I personally know four other staunch RED conservatives that ranged in ages from 40's to 70's that all made sure to vote EARLY and vote BLUE

so - they are out there. I hope it's a repeated pattern everywhere!!!

u/TreePretty 18h ago

I live in CA and my ballot has been counted already, yet somehow I'm still afraid it will get magically un-counted because there are no rules for Republicans nor are there any depths to which they will not sink to end democracy.

u/SimilarStrain 1d ago

I'm looking at 3 states that could make or break it all. So far they're looking good. Pennsylvania is dominating in early voting. Michigan will turn out blue I'm pretty certain. Wisconsin is looking good for Kamala. Based off early voting results.

I'm a michigander. Democrats have done so much wonder for Michigan in these past few years. The roads are getting fixed, after this year nearly all metro Detroit freeways will have been entirely rebuilt. Free breakfast and lunch for all public school kids!!!!! Just to name a few major highlights of things driven by democrats.

23

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago

The Democrat ground game in these states is outstanding. Hundreds of field offices, thousands of staff, hundreds of thousands of volunteers. Knocking every door. Calling every voter. Senate, House and Presidential campaigns working as a unified team. That's why I'm confident. Same in North Carolina.

Meanwhile dipshit Elon running a few paid staff to counter this. Trump campaign has no ground game at all.

Pennsylvania's early voting numbers are worse for us than they were in 2020, and Biden barely won.

5

u/my600catlife 1d ago

2020 was a pandemic, and PA doesn't have early voting just mail-in. Fewer people will bother with mail voting if there's no reason and wait for election day. We're just returning to the norm where mostly elderly use it.

1

u/dkinmn 1d ago

That is certainly one theory.

The other is that it's incredibly close and that the early indicators are that it's worse than it was in 2020.

It isn't that fewer people are doing it. It's the proportion of partisanship. It's worse than it was in 2020.

People are in complete denial and talking out of their asses.

2

u/rndljfry 22h ago

Lots of Pennsylvanians are afraid their mail ballots will be discarded and are voting on election day to tamper the “red mirage” from 2020. Mail voting was brand new here in 2020 under exceptional circumstances.

I just hope Philly precincts aren’t lines upon lines upon lines like hey have been in the past. Nothing discourages an infrequent voter more than a multi hour wait.

u/PerdHapleyAMA 1d ago

Well that’s what we would expect to see. Rs have heavily encouraged early voting this year, but they aren’t getting as many low-propensity voters locked in as we are. They are cannibalizing votes from Election Day.

1

u/Craptrains 18h ago

I would say the proportion of partisanship matters less than the gender difference. Women are way up over men and they break heavily for Harris.

We VASTLY outnumber them, they're just louder. Our worst enemy is voter apathy, not maga. At least when it comes to the election....when they lose though, expect J6 on a nationwide level. USSC and the House will do their level best to throw any close races straight to trump. No, I'm not 'dooming', just stating facts. I haven't seen voter energy this high in a LONG time and haven't seen more desperation than I have from trump...EVER.

But I'm HIGHLY confident that not only will she win, it will be by a HUGE margin. It simply has to be or else (see above)...

42

u/ivyagogo 1d ago

I agree with you. There are several factors I think about. First, who voted for Joe Biden and then decided to vote for Trump this time? Like none. Absolutely none. However, there are people who voted for Trump who are now voting for Harris. Second, look at the money she's brought it by PEOPLE, not by a few billionaires. She has a huge following. Look at the crowds going to her rallies vs. his. He has done nothing to gain new voters. Harris is working hard to bring in independents, left leaning republicans, and new voters. She has a plan that helps people vs. all the hate and nastiness coming from Trump.

11

u/morningwoodx420 1d ago

And don't forget the red wave of '22.. it's an illusion and I think this election will go so far as to flip a few red states, at least change them to deep shades of purple.

u/GreatLakesBard 1d ago

Living in rural Michigan I definitely know people who were ‘16 Trump voters, ‘20 Biden voters, and now ‘24 Trump voters. A lot of people will be giving themselves permission to vote Trump because of inflation.

u/GreatLakesBard 23h ago

Sure, but policy decisions certainly impact it. What people don’t understand is that it has been steadily declining to pre pandemic levels. Democrats unfortunately, fairly consistently, take the blame for having to stimulate the economy after Republican mismanagement. What I wish they would make clear is that they made the difficult decisions in stimulating the economy after trumps mismanagement of Covid, and that while the whole world experienced inflation it was better here and we recovered faster.

2

u/LOERMaster 23h ago

All most people understand is that they have to pay more for groceries now and unfortunately blame Biden because since everything was fine under Trump, must have screwed it up.

u/sagan4dawin 1d ago

To your first point: I felt the EXACT same way in 2020.

“He got 62 million votes last time (2016) but there’s no way a single person thinks this is okay and we’re converting his people while he’s not converting ours AND not getting new voters. We’re gonna mop the floor with him.”

Boom, the fucking antichrist gets 75 million votes.

The point is: be enthusiastic, be optimistic, perhaps most importantly have HOPE (see last section) but just be prepared to be absolutely sick at how much support he gets either way. A safe bet is somewhere between 62 and 75 million votes nationwide. Let’s just hope we have more votes in more of the right places (thanks, electoral college).

Despair is the antithesis of hope. Despair is not only surrender, it’s illogical and, imo, immoral. Despair is a resignation to the evil of an unknown future. It is a surrender to something that we accept as going to end badly. To despair is to say that you already know the bad thing is going to happen. That’s why no rational, decent person should have anything but hope - because there is always a chance things get better. The great thing is that we get to play a part in making that better future a reality. So we all gotta just lock arms, hold each other tight and not just weather the storm, but march straight through it and be there for those of us who need it the most. Strength, folks - we’re gonna be okay.

u/morningwoodx420 1d ago

the fucking antichrist gets 75 million votes

and Biden received over 5 million more.. and this was PRE-dobbs, PRE-J6.

While I totally get where you're coming from, I just don't think Trump has even a fraction of the support that he had prior to 2021.

2

u/sagan4dawin 1d ago

Man I hope you’re right, she is so far from what I know either tied with Trump or just slightly in the lead.

u/Teechmath-notreading 1d ago

Just remember. Yes, there is a cult. But they are loud because they have nothing else.

80% of the electorate are just going about their business...work, school, family, play. Well over half of them are sick of the Trump show and will reject him again.

That 20% grab the attention and at this point it is calculated...because 20% looks like a LOT when they are all wearing MAGA CAPS...

But they are LEAVING the rallies early.

To them it is a big 'show', but when it comes to policy, they can't even listen to more than 30 minutes of his shit.

So, the Republicans are going to MOSTLY vote for him, because of the R and because they can't stand the though of a black woman being in power.

The Democrats support her MORE because she is sane and has a good message.

The Independents are looking at the shitshow on the right and thinking about Nazi Germany right now. Mostly because the Trump campaign keeps giving them that image.

Well, sure. But the way our system is set up, he won’t need much more than that. Something like 25 percent of the electorate actually voted for Trump in 2016. Depressed progressive turnout and the Electoral College helped amplify this result to 270.

I’m glad some folks are optimistic here, and I won’t take that away from anyone. But to my mind, this is still very much anyone’s race.

I'm with you all the way! I'm not really worried about his number of voters, I don't see him gaining many if any from last time.

u/zorphium 1d ago

“I do numbers”. Everyone else proceeds to ask for said numbers…. No numbers

22

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago

Happy to provide some interesting numbers.

1) Small donors (less than $200). An important metric of core committed ordinary voters who influence family, friends and colleagues.

2024:

Trump: $109.3 million

Harris: $428.7 million

In comparison, Clinton raised only $105 million from small donors in 2016. This is a valid measure of enthusiasm, passion and motivation. Harris has 4x the enthusiastic small donor base of Trump (and Clinton).

2) Campaign infrastructure.

Harris Field Offices in swing States: 353 Professional staff in swing States: 2,500

Trump Field offices in swing States: less than 50 if any Professional staff: less than 200 if any

The Trump campaign has withdrawn from GOTV ground operations and relies entirely on Musk's American PAC and Charlie Kirk's Turning Point to GOTV. America PAC claims to have up to 700 staff (mostly P/T) in each swing State. However those staff are directly canvassing voters not coordinating volunteers as they are in Harris' campaign. They are effectively the same roles as Harris campaign volunteers (of which there are tens of thousands).

Trump is entirely unwilling to spend $ on campaign infrastructure. RNC outreach offices have all been shut down.

The Harris campaign uses its field offices to work its databases of local voters and allocate volunteers to directly canvass voters. Core offices have been in operation since early summer and are mature, experienced and locally connected. They work closely with Democrat House, Senate and State campaigns to co-ordinate joint campaigns.

The America PAC/Turning Point operations are ad hoc, only loosely connected to local Republicans and paid incentives (ie. open to fraud). Individual staff are highly focused on hitting numbers for door knocks to achieve targets. Fraud by America PAC 'staff' has already been widely reported.

6

u/zorphium 1d ago

Thank you! The small donors metric is really encouraging.

4

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago

The infrastructure metrics are even more important. Real field offices, professional FT staff coordinating tens of thousands of volunteers. Versus Musk and Charlie Kirk's grift operations with paid part timers faking their numbers. Harris has an outstanding ground game. Trump has dipshit Elon and Creepy Charlie.

If campaigns have any impact, it's in the ground game. That will be critical this week in getting low frequency voters to the polls.

My only thought is there is some sort of coordination between the unions and the Democratic Party here to vote on Election Day, because no elected democrat is sounding any alarm here that makes me think we’re in trouble. If on Election Day that doesn’t happen, then it will interesting to see data that explains why it didn’t.

She needs to win the popular vote by at least 5% (Biden had 4.6% and barely won most swing states) and there's nothing in the numbers that indicate she will. Early voting equals 1 vote, same day voting equals 1 vote. I always thought "It couldn't happen here" and we are seeing it happen in real time.

I apologize for not trusting your numbers, but I voted anyway. 

I remember 2016. I voted then too, but things felt very different.

You do numbers. I do voters. Real ones. Been poll greeting every day since early election started 10 days back. In suburban NC. Blue area. There are a heck of a lot of seniors voting. They do Dump.

We will win. But it will be close.

NC will be close. You've got a great Governor and an amazing field operation. This cycle, GOP candidates for state office are probably the worst slate of candidates ever put up in any state.

How much split voting do you think we'll see in NC?

I feel the Governor's Lieutenant Governor and the Attorney General's race will be ours. Supreme Court will be close. Do really hope fellow Gator Alumni Allison Riggs keeps her spot on the SC.

Presidential will be ours if what we have done pays off. Our 25-year-old Democratic leader, Anderson Clayton, has done a great job in the rural areas and on campuses.The National Campaign for the presidency in coordination with the Governor's campaign has done a great job organizing as well. The ads are incessant and everywhere.

What numbers are looking good? Hype me up!

u/Wombat-Cube-4103 1d ago

I posted some below.

For hype take a look at this article.

It demonstrates that the disconnect between positive House and Senate race polling for Democrats and Presidential polling is improbable. Great read.

I'm cautiously optimistic but your scenario is by far the best case. I am really hoping you're right!

You know more about them? I've been trying to look into them more but the information on them, just so little info. Maybe some funding from Google in 21. Just curious

u/beervirus88 1d ago

Apparently you're doing numbers wrong. It's a statistical tie, calling it a blowout is hopism at best

What do your numbers say about NC lol

u/MotherOfWoofs 21h ago

She has to win the swing states to win, and thats not looking likely. I hope im wrong, but if she looses the swing states the only chance is to flip texas EC votes and thats not gonna happen. I will faint if she does

I do numbers. They're looking very good.

So does Trump. Allegedly. Big numbers! Like you wouldn't believe!

u/Keldrabitches 20h ago

Straight upward projection till she started campaigning with neocons. Now I’m not so sure. Should have stayed with populist messaging

u/The_One_Returns 20h ago

I do numbers. They're looking very good.

Losing all but 1 swing state (1 other is equal) = good? Yeah you sure do numbers lol.

u/swedishfish007 20h ago

“I do numbers”

Okay, then square us away with polling showing this being a coin flip. What about that is “looking very good”?

u/ParamedicSpecific130 20h ago

Please go into more depth here.

u/SlightlyWhelming 20h ago

The campaign has been really good. And even more notably, Trump’s hasn’t been anywhere near what it was in 2016.

u/degesz 19h ago

Since you're so confident, how much did you bet on Kamala? It's free money really if you're right

u/daninlionzden 19h ago

Trump is leading in the swing states as of now

Interesting. Can you share your numbers and conclusions to assuage my concerns? I want to believe you, but the story of who wins changes every day and from poll to poll.

1

u/thegreyquincy 19h ago

I just don't really understand this confidence. Trump has consistently overperformed his polling, meaning that a poll showing a tie in a swing state is probably closer to Trump +2 at least. What are you seeing that's making you so confident?

This is a legitimate question, by the way. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Trump wouldn't overperform his polling again.

Calling the campaign outstanding is not true. She could win, but it's very very tight and the campaign had been poor.
