Both sides have their polls and its surrogates and paid online voices pushing you their polls to make you believe the other side is losing while their side is up by double digits, so to speak.
However, In a telling sign of the times, former President Trump and Vice President Harris find themselves neck and neck in key battleground states, a CBS News poll has revealed. In what could only be described as a rather bleak outlook for conservatives, the poll indicates a slight edge for Harris nationally over Trump—a reflection not merely of voter sentiment but perhaps of deeper shifts within the American political landscape.
Despite this, the candidates are deadlocked with 50 percent support each in crucial battlegrounds. Even when third-party contenders enter the fray, Harris manages to eke out a modest 2-point lead over Trump.
Harris's ascension as the Democratic nominee has seemingly galvanized the party's base, setting fundraising records ablaze and amassing significant crowds. This swell of enthusiasm is markedly more pronounced than what was observed during Biden's tenure as the nominee, with more Democrats now saying they will "definitely" cast their vote. The figures are stark: 85 percent of Democrats assert their intention to vote versus 81 percent during Biden’s candidacy.
The demographic breakdown offers its own narrative; among Black voters—a pivotal constituency for Harris—there is a noticeable uptick in electoral engagement compared to when Biden was at the helm. Now, 74 percent affirm they will "definitely" vote, an increase from 58 percent previously. Support for Harris among this group stands at an impressive 81 percent.
The gender divide too has become more pronounced under this electoral matchup. Women seem to lean towards Harris, while men show a preference for Trump—a split that may well underline deeper societal divisions.
Yet, despite these figures suggesting momentum for Harris, there's an undeniable sense of disquietude among conservative circles. The battleground states remain fiercely contested—with Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona showing an even split between Harris and Trump. More worryingly for conservatives is Trump's marginal lead in Wisconsin and his slightly broader advantage in Georgia and North Carolina—margins slim enough to signal alarm rather than assurance.
This CBS News/YouGov poll paints a picture not just of an election cycle but also of a nation deeply divided—a country where political allegiances are sharply drawn and where outcomes hang by a thread. To some on the right, these numbers may read less like statistics and more like warning signs; harbingers of shifting sands beneath the foundations of American conservatism as we know it.
