The Impact of Voter Demographics

The latest NPR PBS News Marist College poll reveals a close race between candidates, with Kamala Harris leading 51-47 among likely voters, but neck-and-neck at 49-49 with registered voters. Her success with certain demographics, particularly white college-educated voters and black voters, signals pivotal support that could influence turnout on Election Day. While 83% of black voters and 61% of Latino voters are in her favor, it's crucial to assess whether this support can translate into actual votes. The poll underscores the importance of voter mobilization, as the election's outcome will largely depend on who shows up to the polls.
