And it seems to be going well for the vice president so far. AdvertisementA key area closely connected to gender voting patterns — and which has helped tip elections toward the Democrats in recent years — is abortion rights. AdvertisementWomen-led political action committees (PACs) and organizations have also been rallying behind the vice president over the issue. The vice president is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the US's oldest Black sorority and part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council — more commonly known as the Divine Nine. Black women are also getting behind Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, who has established himself as a reproductive rights messenger in his own right.

AdvertisementMichael Sistak, who served as Sen. Mitt Romney's political director in Michigan in 2012, described a presidential campaign as a "long slog through the mud." AdvertisementIn the 1960s, primaries became a fixture of presidential elections and added months to the campaign. The primary system emerged as a decisive force after World War II and solidified its place in the American presidential election process in 1968. "It's a slog from January all the way to the convention," she said about presidential election years.

☆ Trump, Republicans really want Biden to remain the Democratic nominee

Read previewFor most of President Joe Biden's White House tenure, Republicans have floated theories about the president's health and cast doubt on the veteran Democrat's leadership. Biden sought to use the debate to gain some momentum in a race that for weeks showed him tied with Trump in national polls. In the weeks leading up the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, this is not where the Biden campaign thought it'd be. But the former president is not in the clear in the eyes of the public, despite this week's Supreme Court ruling. Should Biden step aside, a more popular Democrat — backed by a party itching to defeat Trump again — could easily dispatch the former president in November.

She is currently a professor at Florida State University and has authored several books. "People were not answering their phones," Rachael Cobb, a political science professor at Suffolk University, told CNBC. Polarization and technology are among the obstacles that pollsters cite as complicating the task of taking accurate voter surveys. As a result, over the past several election cycles, polling organizations have made some major mistakes.

Nikki Haley hosts a rally in Conway as part of her swing in the Palmetto State leading up to the State's primary, in Conway SC, United States on January 28, 2024. During a speech billed as a "state of the race" update, Haley said she intends to stay in the 2024 election, regardless of her performance in the upcoming South Carolina Republican primary. The spokesperson also pointed to several instances where Trump's attacks on Haley led to millions of fundraising dollars. For example, Haley raised $1 million in 48 hours after Trump attacked Haley's husband's military service. That threat drove $2 million in contributions over 48 hours to the Haley campaign, according to a Haley spokesperson.

Voters in New Hampshire are casting the first primary votes of the 2024 presidential election in more than 300 voting locations across the Granite State. New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scalan said he expects turnout will exceed 400,000 voters, with the lion's share of those ballots being cast in the Republican primary. If those trends hold, the first Republican primary of the cycle could end up being the party's last competitive nominating contest this year. And with around 40% of voters neither a registered Republican nor a Democrat, the state is still far from a done deal for Trump. The party's incumbent, President Joe Biden, is not on the ballot, and the results will not affect delegate allocations later this year.

Nikki Haley finally got what she has desired since the very beginning of her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination: a one-on-one showdown with Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis of Florida ended his bid, leaving Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, as the only real threat to a third consecutive Trump nomination. Polls show Trump with a strong lead, but Haley rejected the notion that the race was over, saying “America doesn’t do coronations. A Suffolk University poll from today suggested that Trump would receive a slight increase in support in New Hampshire after the departure of DeSantis, who endorsed the former president. Trump also garnered the endorsement of two South Carolina politicians: Senator Tim Scott, a former Haley ally, as well as Representative Nancy Mace, whom Haley endorsed for Congress and whom Trump attempted to unseat in 2022.

Delivering her most forceful case yet for the Republican presidential nomination, Ms. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, embraced her underdog status this weekend as independent, anti-Trump voters urged her on. But with the first-in-the-nation primary on Tuesday, Ms. Haley has enormous ground to make up and very little time to do it. Mr. Trump was filling arenas and event centers in Concord and Manchester, N.H., on Friday and Saturday, speaking to adoring throngs as Republican elected officials fell in line. Ms. Haley, meanwhile, was visiting retail stores and restaurants. Suffolk University’s daily tracking poll of New Hampshire voters on Saturday had Mr. Trump leading Ms. Haley by double digits, 53 percent to 36 percent, with his margin having crept up a percentage point each of the previous two days.

Should Trump's lead hold, says Andrew Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire poll, Trump will become the first candidate – aside from sitting presidents – to win both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. "We're so far past the days when voters nationally were really just waking up" to the campaign debates in the early weeks of a presidential election year, says Dante Scala, a University of New Hampshire professor and author of the book "Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics." New Hampshire GOP voters, however, are a different breed of Republicans, Smith says, focusing more on fiscal conservatism and small government. Haley has 36% support and DeSantis 6% backing among primary voters. Trump seems to think so, too: He has focused much of his vitriol in the waning days of the New Hampshire campaign on Haley.

Nikki Haley is surging in support among Iowa Republicans and is now tied for second place in the battle for the GOP nomination in the Hawkeye State, according to a poll released Monday morning. Haley has the first-choice backing of 16% of Iowa Republicans – the same as Florida Gov. The poll was conducted before Trump's vice president, Mike Pence, dropped out of the race on Saturday, saying "this is not my time." Even before the realignment, Pence was struggling, having dropped from 6% support in August to 2% in the current poll. The Iowa poll reflects a new political reality for the 2024 elections, with the nominations for both major political parties appearing to be sewn up with two and a half months to go before the first nominating contest.

Known as a passionate and provocative theater advocate who pushed for boundary-breaking works and for classics to be adventurously modernized, Brustein founded both the Yale Repertory Theatre and the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard. He was dean of the Yale School of Drama from 1966-1979 and during that time founded the Yale Repertory Theatre. “They'll have an unresolved experience.”After a painful, highly publicized dismissal from Yale, Brustein in 1979 switched to Harvard, where he taught English and founded the American Repertory Theatre in 1980. At both Yale Rep and A.R.T., Brustein told The Boston Globe in 2012, he embraced popular theater with a nationalistic streak: “We were trying to liberate American theater from its British overseers. The light, absurd comedy, which gently mocks the lavishness of other musicals, premiered in 1994 at the American Repertory Theatre and was close to making it to Broadway.

But in first-primary state New Hampshire, Trump sits in the campaign driver's seat, with nearly half of Granite State GOP primary voters saying the former president is their first pick for the 2024 presidential nomination. Nikki Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, came in second with 19% support – the highest level she has attained in New Hampshire primary polls. The survey found that voters were not very willing to shift to other candidates at this point, months before the yet-unscheduled New Hampshire primary. But the Suffolk poll indicates that Trump's legal woes have not deterred his base.

A sign asking Ohioans to vote in support of Issue 1 sits above another sign advocating against abortion rights at an event hosted by Created Equal on Thursday, July 20, 2023, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Republican-backed proposal, known as Issue 1, would raise the minimum threshold of votes needed to amend the state constitution by popular referendum, from a simply majority up to 60% of ballots cast. Early voter turnout has been high, which is unusual for special elections and likely reflects intense voter interest in abortion rights issues. A poll conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University in July found that 58% of Ohioans support the amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. Ohioans' support for abortion is just shy of the 60% that would be needed if Tuesday's ballot initiative passes.
