Fresh polling of the presidential race shows Kamala Harris competitive with Donald Trump in Florida, where the former President leads the Vice President 48% to 43% in the Sunshine State.
Trump’s five point lead is unchanged from the previous iteration of this poll, which is part of a 10-state survey.
In more good news for Trump, he’s converting more Joe Biden voters from 2020 than Harris is with Trump voters from four years ago. Biden is six points underwater in the state.
Harris, meanwhile, is treading water in terms of favorability, while Trump is +8.
The good feeling extends to his running mate also; JD Vance, a Senator from Ohio, is +3. But that’s worse than Harris’ Veep pick, Tim Walz, who is at +7.
Voters trust Trump more on immigration, crime, defense, and inflation, driving his margin.
The numbers are from a Redfield and Wilton survey conducted between Aug. 25 and Aug. 28.
This poll is slightly more favorable for Trump than the FiveThirtyEight average, which shows the former President with a 4.2 point lead.
Other polls are closer: the Public Policy Polling survey of the state, conducted Aug. 21-22 for the Clean and Prosperous Energy PAC, shows Trump leading 51% to 47% overall in a two-person race
The latest Florida Chamber of Commerce/Cherry Communications poll released this week shows Trump ahead 52% to 45%.

1. Woke maniacs burned Harry Potter books
2. You can’t embrace science if you don’t understand the difference between a hypothesis and a theory
3. When you confront woke voters with the truth, they call you names
4. When you jump off a very tall building, gravity will kill you, that is black and white
5. You can’t have true equality and affirmative action and other DEI policies at the same time
6. You have empathy and logic
7. You embrace cooperation but not to implement policies that have proven to fail since the Weimar Republic
8. Woke people no longer believe in freedom of religion, free speech, free association, parental rights or the right to bear arms
9. Culture and the arts have value as long as the government doesn’t choose which culture and arts have value
10. You care for the planet but you follow reproduceable science when doing so

“When you confront woke voters with the truth, they call you names”
I’d like to test your theory.
Confront me with the truth about what happened on Jan 6.
I really think it’s a deal breaker. You approve of it?

Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) noted last year that from July 2020 through July 2022, inflation rose by 14% and corporate profits rose by 75%.
Hence, the case for gouging consumers.

“Woke” is opposite of classical liberal values
August 31, 2024 at 1:53 pm
I embrace and cherish every single one of those values as a classical liberal. I do not find that those values listed above coincide with the “woke” movement. Those are classical liberal values. By definition I have been accused of being the dreaded evil conservative by holding onto these values. Have been pushed out of the Democrat party, as they do not believe in allowing others viewpoints or independent thought or allowing room for others unless they are cherry picked by grievance and anointed under the preferred identity politics. Democrats seek to undermine basic democratic institutions and processes and laws and prosecute and punish any dissent. That is why I left the party and am now NPA. I am still a Classical liberal for anyone who wants to look that up. That probably means I’ve been added to an FBI watch list for reading Paine and Locke and Hume and Montaigne and Emerson and Thoreau.

“Woke” is a boogeyman du jour of the right. The current governor is against it, but he can’t define it.
“Wokeness” led women to fight for the right to vote, for the Democratic Party to expand voting rights and civil rights, dismantle Jim Crow, and eliminate red-lining, to name a few. It’s difficult for me to imagine Emerson or Thoreau embracing today’s Republican Party “values.”

WOKE, use all the classical definitions you want, we live in the present world where maga is a threat to the entire world. your criticism of the dem party seems to stem from you living in the nonexistent classical world. if you vote for trump, you are an enemy to the present world.

According to Scaramucci, the 7 minute Trump PR spokesman, it’s not a joke.
But as we know, ‘love means never having to say you’re sorry.’

Donald Trump didn’t lower your taxes.
He didn’t get your roads fixed or your bridges built.
He didn’t get you healthcare coverage, lower the price of your prescriptions, decrease the deficit, end the opioid crisis, revive the coal industry, he didn’t make
“Covid disappear,” didn’t make Mexico “pay for the wall,” he didn’t “put America First” and he sure as hell didn’t “drain the swamp.”
Trump’s really accomplished very little for America!
So when you say he “fought for you,” you mean he validated your hate.
Because he didn’t do a damn thing for you other than that.
He hates who you hate.
And sadly, that’s all you think you need.

Trump and his Congressional allies did succeed in giving themselves a humongous tax cut that led to a $2-trillion addition to the national debt. And, these plutocrats intend to do it again, if we let them.

It’s pretty simple ….. “woke” is right wing false flag distraction promoted by discredited Moms For Liberty, Ron DeSantis, the Florida legislature and red state governors to divide Americans.
