Harris Holds Huge Lead Among Those Who Have Voted
October 21, 2024 at 8:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll shows the vice president leading the former president by 63% to 34%, close to 2-1, among those who have already voted.

That preference turns around among those who plan to wait until Election Day to vote, with Trump ahead 52% to 35%.

The pollster assumes that 50% of the vote will be same day. lees1975 Monday #39

No. It's your math. Self Esteem Monday #45
