As Kamala Harris exuded strength on the debate stage last night, voters also took to the polls in Delaware and New Hampshire to make their voices heard. We are so proud to be a part of these exciting wins:   ⭐ State Senator Sarah McBride won the Democratic nominee for Delaware’s sole seat in the United States House of Representatives. If she wins, she will be the first openly transgender member of Congress, reflecting the progress we've made as a country towards equality and representation.   ⭐ Maggie Tamposi Goodlander won her primary election in New Hampshire District 2. Together, we are one step closer to the general election in November!   ⭐ Governor John Carney won his bid for Mayor of Wilmington. Best wishes as he transitions into this new role, continuing his dedicated service to the people of Wilmington.

GSG Partner Nick Gourevitch shared his take on the ever-evolving landscape of polling with Vox: “You have to live with the fact that you’re not going to know the answer to who’s going to win the election, but [polling] is still a really valuable tool.”   In an era where uncertainty often dominates, data-driven insights still provide the roadmap we need to navigate the complexities of modern elections.   #Polling #Election2024 

Polling shows voters have an outsized negative response to Project 2025, which is the far-right's extreme wish list for Donald Trump's potential second term. As a result, the plan poses a significant liability for him. Our work has shed light on the fears and concerns of swing voters, showcasing how widespread unfavorable opinions towards the plan are. The Washington Post highlighted Democratic efforts to expose this plan, with GSG's Jefrey Pollock stating, "Voters understand that this is an actual, written plan for extremist and dangerous ideas that are going to be implemented," and GSG's Matt Canter explaining, "You have a significant majority of swing voters in focus groups knowing what it is and having extremely unfavorable opinions of it." The truth is out, and now Democrats must continue to hold Donald Trump accountable. https://lnkd.in/gSsTKNNX #Project2025 #Election2024 #Polling
