Preelection Iowa poll favoring Harris
far off final margins
Posted By: NorthernDog, 11/6/2024 9:53:51 AM
An Iowa poll released the Saturday before Election Day caused shockwaves when it showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump, but the former president easily won the state on Tuesday. The Des Moines Register-Mediacom Iowa Poll released this past weekend showed Harris leading Trump 47%-44%. However, Trump prevailed over Harris on Tuesday night 55.6%-43.0%, with 81% of the vote counted. The race was called by the Associated Press at 10:40 p.m. Eastern, less than two hours after the polls closed in the Hawkeye State. Pollster J. Ann Selzer had said on Saturday that it was “hard for anybody to

Following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, calls have resurfaced for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire to prevent Trump from potentially filling another court vacancy. (Snip) In light of Trump winning the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris, calls for Sotomayor to retire so that President Joe Biden, with support from a Democrat-majority Senate, would have enough time to appoint a new justice have recirculated on social media. Newsweek reached out to the Supreme Court's public information office via an online form for comment on Thursday. On election night, Miranda Yaver, an assistant professor of health policy and
Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert nearly lost in 2022 then left for another race, a risky but ultimately successful bet she took in the hopes of keeping the seat in GOP hands and staying in Congress herself. Hurd, more mild-mannered than Boebert and hewing to an older GOP tradition, beat Adam Frisch, the Democrat who nearly unseated Boebert two years ago in the 3rd Congressional District, which covers the state’s Rocky Mountains. Boebert, meanwhile, won a seat in the 4th Congressional District. Hurd was leading by about 12,000 votes
He was wrong. Or so the American people decided. Allan Lichtman, the historian who predicted 9 of the 10 last elections, failed to accurately predict who voters would chose to become the 47th president of the United States. In a stunning political comeback, ex-President Donald Trump defeated Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to reclaim the White House Tuesday night. "Right now after a very long night I am taking some time off to assess why I was wrong and what the future holds for America," Lichtman told USA TODAY Wednesday morning. Lichtman, an American University professor, had predicted

A deep-red county in Pennsylvania will be extending its voting deadline to 10:00 p.m. eastern following a software malfunction that prevented voters from scanning completed ballots. The county’s court of common pleas ordered that Cambria County’s voting deadline will be extended two hours after county solicitor Ronald Repak filed an emergency petition due to the voting issues Tuesday morning, the Pennsylvania Department of State announced. Repak told a local NBC affiliate that Cambria County’s board of election sent IT specialists to handle the software issue and will take “any necessary action” to make sure all votes are cast. He assured
The Trump campaign is growing bullish over data it’s seeing showing Republicans gaining ground with the early vote in battleground states relative to where the party stood in the 2020 election cycle. The campaign sees signs that new and infrequent voters are breaking more toward Republicans than Democrats relative to four years ago, based on the latest indications from the four battleground states that reveal partisan registration during early voting: Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania, according to a source in the camp. In addition, “In those states, Democrats have more than 1.4 million voters who voted before Election Day

Job creation in October slowed to its weakest pace since late 2020 as the impacts of storms in the Southeast and a significant labor impasse dented the employment picture. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In what had already been expected to be a downbeat report, October posted the smallest gain since December 2020. The unemployment rate, however, held at 4.1%, in line with expectations. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. - Calling them the “Dinnertime Burglaries,” the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office says its searching for the crooks responsible for breaking into nearly a dozen “high-value” homes over the last eight months. Starting back in February and spanning most of the year, the sheriff’s office has noticed a crime pattern emerging. (Snip) Investigators believe the local pattern is just a piece of a much larger pattern happening nationwide. The crooks are believed to be part of multiple South American theft groups, the sheriff’s office said, not elaborating further. “Similar burglaries have occurred in Scottsdale, Arizona and the San
DETROIT — Ford Motor plans to halt production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning from mid-November until early next year to address bloated inventories and narrow losses on the pickup trucks. The automaker on Thursday confirmed the seven-week shutdown would occur at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in suburban Detroit from Nov. 18 until Jan. 6, including previously planned holiday downtime at the end of the year. “We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability,” Ford said in an emailed statement. The roughly 730 hourly workers at the Michigan plant will be placed on temporary
The owner of New Jersey's largest newspaper says it will stop publishing a daily print version of the paper early next year, but its online version will continue. The Newark Morning Ledger Co. said the decision announced Wednesday was due to rising costs, decreasing circulation and reduced demand for print copies of the Star-Ledger. The company also said it will close its Montville production facility in February 2025, the same time the newspaper's print version will cease. The closing of that facility means another daily newspaper, The Jersey Journal, will cease publication on Feb. 1 after operating for 157 years.
In the final week of this 'dead heat' presidential election, I am reminded of Ronald Reagan's landslide 1980 victory. Then as now, President Jimmy Carter was polling neck-and-neck with his Republican challenger. A Gallup poll showed Carter up one percentage point nationally in late October. Only four days before the vote, a CBS News/New York Times survey showed the race to be just as close. Then the bottom dropped out of Carter's campaign - and Reagan won by nearly 10 points in the popular vote, and a staggering 489 to 49 in the Electoral College. I was a young campaign
Joe Rogan says he has shot down a podcast interview with Vice President Kamala Harris after her campaign made several demands — but insisted he hopes it can still happen. The mega-popular podcaster said the Democratic presidential nominee’s team had wanted him to travel to her and for their chat to last for only an hour. “They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan said in a statement on

Present-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday is bringing out the absolute worst in every left-wing media personality just hours after the race was called.
With many eager to see how the shrill panel of “The View” would react to a second Trump term, co-host Sunny Hostin did not disappoint in giving viewers a stupid racist take when looking for a reason that Vice President Kamala Harris lost.
Rather than admitting Harris’ many faults during her campaign, Hostin took to blaming the defeat on certain people of a certain race.
Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville had a meltdown over former President Donald Trump becoming the president-elect, telling his podcast listeners that his win is “depressing” and “sickening." I just have to get over the fact that I’m 80 years old and I live in a country that has put a felonious bigot, who has no idea of what the world is like, is the most parochial, secular person that you could imagine…,” Carville said before pondering where it went wrong for the Democrats.

Employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are reportedly terrified that there will be a "bloodbath" of layoffs once President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
Which is odd, since our friends in the mainstream media have previously indicated the term "bloodbath" is a secret siren call for violence.
Kerry Picket of the Washington Times spoke to several inside sources who claim top officials at the bureau are “stunned” and “shellshocked” at the overwhelming victory for Trump in Tuesday's election.
Trump didn't just win -- he received an overwhelming mandate from the American people, along with solid Republican control of the Senate and very likely retaining control of the House.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign fell $20 million in debt during the final week of her campaign, according to several sources.
Christopher Cadelago, the California bureau chief for Politico wrote in a post on X that Harris’s campaign had “ended with at least $20 million in debt,” according to two sources familiar with the situation. “Harris raised over $1 billion and had $118 million in the bank as of Oct. 16,” Cadelago added in his post.

A Kamala campaign staffer confirmed to Breitbart News that the reports that Harris’s campaign was “$20 million” in debt “is real,” adding

Packing their bags!
After former President Donald Trump’s election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, some of the biggest stars in Hollywood have threatened to leave the US.
America Ferrera is reportedly ready to pack her bags after Trump’s victory. The 40-year-old is allegedly looking to start a new life in the UK with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their two children, son Sebastian, 6, and daughter Lucia, 4.
A source told Daily Mail that the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” alum is in search of a better life for her kids.“America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” the insider claimed to the outlet. “She is devastated that Kamala lost.

Not taking a micrometer of credit away from President Trump 47 and his epically tireless, passionate, often hilariously funny, and brave — in spite of three assassination attempts and then a fourth death threat — countrywide, night-after-night, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year campaign.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Republican Dave McCormick showed three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey the door in the Keystone State’s high-stakes Senate race, bringing a Pennsylvania political dynasty to an end — and securing the 53rd seat in the GOP’s 2025 Senate majority. (Photo) McCormick, an Army veteran and former hedge-fund executive, beat Casey by just over 30,000 votes, netting 49% of votes to the Democrat’s 48.5%, with 99% of votes counted, the Associated Press reports.
The minuscule margin triggered an automatic recount, as Pennsylvania law dictates for any race decided by 0.5 percentage points or less.
The Republican declared victory just after 1 p.m. Thursday, three hours hours before AP
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points – or 0.25% – on Thursday after President Trump’s landslide victory.
The latest rate cut comes after the Fed slashed rates 50 basis points in September.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told reporters on Thursday that he will not resign his position if Trump asks him to step down “If [Trump] asked you to leave, would you go?” a reporter asked Fed Chair Powell.

President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday on President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding electoral victory and urged Americans to unify and “lower the temperature” after a divisive and intense presidential campaign.
Biden gave brief remarks from the White House and praised the American experiment of democratically electing leaders in a peaceful, orderly fashion.
“Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory and I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has been busy — having calls and meeting with U.S. Senate hopefuls trying to take Vice President-elect JD Vance's seat in the nation's capital.
President-elect Donald Trump and Vance are set to take office in mid-January, but another race is heating up.
"Some people have already contacted me," DeWine said during a press conference before the election. "I've already met with some people — at their request."
DeWine has a big decision to make. Vance will need to resign from his coveted Senate seat, and the governor will appoint his replacement.

The Iowa poll was a complete lie. Trump won the state by 12 points.
