I don't see any "new" voters coming out for Trump.

This is the key. President Trump has not done anything to win new voters. He has made his "base" more passionate, but they were already going to vote for him.

As 89 says, as much as people bash the economy, it is doing better. I think President Biden will do something on the border, which will take away another talking point.

I think there are some people who vote based on how the last 4 years felt - regardless of anything the President actually did.

There are some people whose lives felt better in 2017-2021 vs. 2021-2024 - and may vote Trump based solely on that.

That is a good point, although how many of them voted for Biden and are willing to make the switch? Maybe a trickle of folks, but I can't imagine it's a swarm of vote switchers.

Doesn't take a swarm. Probably takes about 500k votes total, spread among the right states.

Secondly, I've heard more than one Democrat say they're not voting for Biden. They're not voting for Trump, but they're definitely not voting for Biden.

So ... you heard two Democrats say that?

Nope, but you're welcome to do your own poll.

He probably did.

Or three....

Well, it sounds as though Biden's losing Louisiana.

What's next, Oklahoma?

Lad, ask yourself which Deep South state most recently had a Democrat governor...

But, there is a pretty good chance that some President Trump voters will not vote for him and vote for the Democrat nominee appointee for President. So, they may cancel each other out.

Yes, and if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts when they hop.
