Vice President Harris boasts a 13-point lead over former President Trump among women voters in a new poll, a notable edge with a major voting bloc that could be critical for her ticket in November.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken this week found 51 percent of women who are registered voters said they support Harris, while 38 percent backed her Republican rival. On the other hand, Trump, who has struggled with women voters, saw a 7-point lead among men.

    Read my initial comment without your hackles up. Then read how you responded. That’s part of it.

    But if you would like another example to dismiss in bad faith, consider PUMA PAC. Clinton’s supporters were so upset that she lost the '08 primaries that they formed a PAC to get McCain elected out of spite.

      Ok full stop…

      “Hackles” is awesome. I’m gonna dig into hackles… sorry it’s mine now…

      But really you complain that a PAC was formed?

      Like given the Supreme Court decisions would you prefer dems not make pacs and just fold?

      What’s the alternative? Dems make a PAC and become evil or the Supreme Court rules pacs rule and you now post how dems rolled over and did nothing?

        They formed a PAC with the express purpose of electing McCain.

        And yes, use hackles all you want. I’d love to see it enter common usage.

          Electing McCain you say? Not splitting the vote, not playing the field.

          Certainly they should practically ask Republicans to use those same tools… they should instead do nothing and take the “high ground” as you so graciously allow for dems to do… right?
