☆ New Battleground Polls Show Harris Has Fundamentally Changed the Race
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-10 | by ( Nate Cohn | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

If there were any doubt whether Kamala Harris has transformed this year’s presidential election, this morning’s latest New York Times/Siena College polls put it to rest. In our first swing state polls since her entry into the race, Vice President Harris leads Donald J. Trump by four points each in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin among likely voters. It’s a major shift from previous Times/Siena polls, which found Mr. Trump leading Ms. Harris and President Biden by an average of one or two points each across the same three states. Sometimes, it can be hard to explain why polls shift from week to week or month to month. It prevented Democrats from running their usual strategy against Mr. Trump and his MAGA allies: Make an election a referendum on Mr. Trump by running a broadly acceptable candidate.

☆ Harris Leads Trump in Three Key States, Times/Siena Polls Find

Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald J. Trump in three crucial battleground states, according to new surveys by The New York Times and Siena College, the latest indication of a dramatic reversal in standing for Democrats after President Biden’s departure from the presidential race remade it. Ms. Harris is ahead of Mr. Trump by four percentage points in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, 50 percent to 46 percent among likely voters in each state. The surveys were conducted from Aug. 5 to 9. The polls, some of the first high-quality surveys in those states since Mr. Biden announced he would no longer run for re-election, come after nearly a year of surveys that showed either a tied contest or a slight lead for Mr. Trump over Mr. Biden. [On question after question, the poll finds that voters don’t seem to have major reservations about Kamala Harris, Nate Cohn writes.]

☆ With Walz, Harris Passes on a Chance to Redefine Herself

A few days ago, Donald J. Trump said vice-presidential nominees have “virtually no impact” electorally. By selecting Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, as her running mate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris put Mr. Trump one step closer to being proved right. A few days ago, it wasn’t so obvious Mr. Trump’s claim was on safe footing. While it’s true that most vice-presidential nominees don’t have a major impact, they often help the ticket in the vice-presidential nominee’s home state. Instead, she selected someone from Minnesota, which is not a top-tier battleground.

☆ The Harris Electorate
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-02 | by ( Nate Cohn | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

Kamala Harris inherited a Democratic coalition that was badly frayed. In polls, young, Black and Hispanic voters abandoned President Biden in droves. And for the first time in years, more Americans said they leaned Republican than Democratic. To win, the vice president will need to win back the deserters without alienating the anti-Trump moderates who put Democrats over the top in 2020. But while she’s running ahead of where Biden stood when he left the race, she’s still short of hitting traditional Democratic benchmarks.

With a little over three months until the presidential election, Kamala Harris inherited a Democratic coalition that was badly frayed. In polls this year, young, Black and Hispanic voters abandoned President Biden in droves. To win, Vice President Harris will need to stitch a winning Democratic coalition back together. While it’s still early, the first polls since Ms. Harris all but locked up the nomination suggest she has already made some progress. To win the Electoral College, she’ll need additional gains in the months ahead.

☆ A Lot of Major Shifts Beneath the Surface in a New Trump-Harris Poll
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( Nate Cohn | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

After all the political tumult of the last month, Thursday’s latest New York Times/Siena College poll is full of findings unlike any we’ve seen this cycle, with one exception: who leads the presidential race. The poll found Donald J. Trump ahead of Kamala Harris by one percentage point, 48 percent to 47 percent, among likely voters. Other than the name of the Democratic candidate, “Trump +1” is a result that could have been from any other Times/Siena poll before President Biden’s disastrous debate. But on question after question, there are major shifts from previous Times-Siena polls, which were all taken before Vice President Harris essentially locked up her party’s nomination for president, before the Republican convention, and before the attempted assassination of Mr. Trump. Even the one-point Harris deficit represents a significant improvement for Democrats from Mr. Biden’s six-point deficit in our last Times/Siena poll.

It hasn’t always been easy for Democrats to follow this playbook. With President Biden bowing out of the race Sunday and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats still won’t find it easy to follow their time-tested approach. Many Democrats have coalesced behind Ms. Harris, but she doesn’t start the campaign as the kind of broadly acceptable candidate Democrats have put forward to great success during the Trump era. At the outset, one enormous caveat is necessary: Ms. Harris became a candidate for president only on Sunday. She will have every opportunity to reintroduce herself to the nation, distinguish herself from Mr. Biden and rally Democratic voters in the weeks ahead.

Years later, Trump deeming former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "a nasty woman" remains a badge of honor for Democrats. Trump's former foes have turned his attacks into rallying cries, a response that Harris and her allies are likely to use.

In 2022, 39% of the 134 million families residing in the U.S. did not own the home they lived in, according to Census data. But on the other hand, households might be unaware they can afford a mortgage, said Orphe Divounguy, senior economist at Zillow. "If rental prices are coming up, maybe it's a good time to consider [buying instead]," she said. "The first step is trying to understand whether or not it's worth getting all the paperwork together," she said. Understanding the status of your credit and your debt-to-income ratio is a good place to start.

The campaign was jolted by President Biden’s debate performance, which led many Democrats to call on him to leave the race. Of all these events, the selection of Mr. Vance seems by far the least significant — at least for this campaign. Historically, vice-presidential selections play only a minor role in the course of presidential elections, and Mr. Vance is probably less likely than most to change the direction of the race. His basic political identity — a white, male, populist Trump loyalist — reinforces the core message of the Trump ticket. Mr. Vance will not bestow a small home state “bonus” in a swing state, either, as Mr. Vance’s home state, Ohio, is not competitive.

Just before a gunman fired at Donald J. Trump at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday, we concluded a new set of New York Times/Siena College polls of Pennsylvania and Virginia. While the polls were completed before the shooting, they still offer context about the state of the race. Five years ago, Joe Biden was the “electability” candidate — the well-liked, moderate Democrat who promised to beat Donald J. Trump and had the poll numbers to back it up. The polls don’t back up President Biden’s electability case anymore. In this morning’s latest New York Times/Siena College polls, he trails by three percentage points among likely voters in must-win Pennsylvania, while he leads by a mere three points in Virginia — a state he carried by 10 points four years ago.

President Biden’s re-election campaign is in jeopardy because of his poor debate performance. But lurking behind the Democratic anxiety is another factor: the polls. The average of polls has shown Donald J. Trump with an almost uninterrupted lead for 10 months, and this undoubtedly shapes the calculation of Democrats in Washington. This puts a big responsibility on polls and pollsters. While they continue to be the best way — or only way — to measure public opinion in a big, diverse country, polls have been wrong before, and they will be wrong again.

To rate each state's infrastructure, we look at roads, bridges, ports and airports.

The Economic Development Partnership of Alabama offers one of the more robust site readiness programs in the nation. Roads, bridges, and broadband are also in excellent shape in Tennessee. A respectable 24% of the state's power comes from renewable energy, putting it in the top half of states.
