    That’s why I think the polls are off now. The number of 18-30 year olds registrations is off the charts in previous years and they are not counted as likely voters.

    Young women are going to be key to this election I think. They are pissed off and are chomping at the bit to vote.

      Yeah, in 2016 and 2020 polls underestimated Trump voters. Pollsters know he has voters who aren’t reflected in polls, and they’re consciously trying to account for it.

      But I’m hopeful that this year it’s the opposite, that polls are underestimating Harris support. Young voters, or even women in conservative families who say they’re voting for Trump, but deep down want Harris to win.
