US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Guess where most people live?

Ugh. Independent swing to Trump in Georgia is very large.

Poor Georgia sounds horrific ...

 

[The Black Shed]

Trump doing 20 points better with independents in GA, which make up 31% of voters in GA. He is +11 as opposed to -9 in 2020.

Explain the independents please. Over here, that means you stand for election yourself.

Can someone who was born in the UK in the late 80s to American parents move there? Asking for a friend (I'm the friend)

Got a bad feeling about this for our American friends.

 

[Mancity1980]

Got a bad feeling about this.

So have I.

 

[madloaf]

Got a bad feeling about this.

I spoke to a friend in Canada about 3 weeks ago and he's a decent, reasonably intelligent bloke, and we touched on politics and he said that he thought Kamala and Trump were "Equally Bad" and that was when I put £10000 on Trump to win at evens.

Georgia going to be the first interesting one.

Voters not affiliated/ registered with either party.

I find it completely mind blowing that any American person of colour would vote for Trump. Unless you're orange.

I find it crazy how much of American politics is driven so hard by ethnicity. It sometimes feels like they are so far behind.

They are americans who support the right to bear arms AND the right to abortions and sometimes that comes in handy...is that in poor taste?

 

[Frank the Yank]

Trump doing a couple of points better with black voters than in 2020. In Georgia that is. Turnout important as well haven’t heard data about that yet BUT if turnout drops by 1% in Georgia, that eliminates the 11,700 votes Biden won by in 2020.

 

[jaiguruKun]

If Trump flips Georgia is it time to call it a night for us ABTers?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

No dog in the fight mate.

The result will directly effect you either way.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

I wonder what Trump has promised Musk if he gets into power?

Not the brightest move by Musk nailing his colours to Trump if Harris gets in.

Harris would not be able to do anything anyway.

As it stands if Trump wins will round off a truly crap City week

Me - after 13 years I finally have both taxation and representation……

 

[jaiguruKun]

The result will directly effect you either way.

The world's fucked either way.

Seventy percent of North Carolina voters are dissatisfied. Almost half voted on economy and immigration and half on democracy and abortion so important issues rather split.
