Episode notes
Iowa Poll Surprise
- A new Des Moines Register poll suggests Kamala Harris leads Trump by three points in Iowa, a traditionally Republican state.
- This surprising result, if accurate, implies potential Harris victories in other swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Realignment Dynamics
- The upcoming election reveals a deepening divide based on gender and college education, rather than traditional race and age demographics.
- This shift potentially benefits Harris in Rust Belt states but poses challenges in Sun Belt states.
Women's Vote
- Harris's success hinges on strong female support, particularly given decreasing support among young men of color.
- Her focus on abortion rights appeals to pro-choice women, but non-college-educated women might vote based on class solidarity.
