According to a recent poll conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University, there seems to be a significant number of undecided voters in the upcoming presidential election. This is especially interesting because it also shows that Black support for Biden, which has been a concern throughout his campaign, has actually improved. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 potential voters, has a margin of error of 3%, but the results indicate that while Trump has lost some support among different groups, Biden has gained more. This has resulted in the two candidates being virtually tied with only four months left until the election. David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, described this as a critical moment in the election.
In an interview with USA Today, Paleologos explained that with only 26 weeks left, it's important to keep in mind that people tend to tune out politics during the summer months and party conventions. This means that there are only about 17 weeks left for the candidates to actively campaign, and in some states, early voting starts even earlier. Essentially, we are at the doorstep of the election, and it's anyone's game at this point.
The poll also showed that voters who are considering third-party candidates, such as Independent candidate Cornel West, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are still open to changing their vote. In fact, a majority of these voters indicated that they could be swayed to vote for one of the major party candidates. This is significant because third-party votes often have a bigger impact in close races.
When it comes to young voters, The New York Times reports that while they may be more likely to support Palestine, it's not their only concern. For example, Devon Schwartz, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, explained that even though he disagrees with Biden's stance on Gaza, there are other issues that are more important to him when it comes to deciding his vote.
Schwartz still plans on voting for Biden, but he believes that Biden needs to make some changes to his policies. "I want to see policy changes from Joe Biden," he said. "I don't want to vote for Donald Trump and see the same exact policies." Similarly, 19-year-old University of Florida student Cameron Driggers, who is a member of the youth council of Florida's Democratic Party, expressed concern about Biden's lack of support for youth organizers and the potential for him to cross some important lines. "There has to be a line for Biden," he said. "And I believe he's close to crossing that." While Driggers acknowledges that Trump is likely to be worse than Biden on all issues, he still believes that it's important to hold Biden accountable for his actions.
