    So here's my take.
    I generally think, or assume, that Trump will probably poll better on 2 issues : economy and immigration. Republicans almost always poll better on those 2 issues, especially on immigration. I honestly don't know why, but they do. And for sake or argument and being realistic i am going to assume that Trump will probably poll better on both of those issue. The question is by how much. Last I checked, his lead on the economy is ~10 points. I've seen it as low as 4 or 5, and as much as maybe 12. The Fed cutting rates and inflation continuing to come down will help kamala.
    So, again, I'm sort of assuming that Trump will poll better on the economy and on immigration. But for every other issue...kamala is going to out gain him.
    Morals, democracy, integrity, trust, abortion, equality, our rights, gun control. Kamala is going to run it up in all those categories.
    Another HUGE WIN for kamala will be women. Women are going to overwhelmingly vote for kamala. I'll be honest, if you're a woman, i DON'T know how you vote for Trump. He literally is taking away your most fundamental rights. He also demeans and goes after your gender. If you're a woman and you vote for Trump you are literally hurting yourself.
    Trump might also poll better on Men. Last time i checked the gap was ~10 points. But kamala is going to RUN IT UP with women. Shes also running it up with Asians and Indian-Americans.
    Another interesting thing is young voters (who seem very engaged in this election, perhaps moreso than any other election in history). Assuming that engagement holds...that will be a huge W for kamala because she is going to absolutely rum it uo amongst 18-30 year olds. I've seen the margin for young voters as high as 30 points in favor of kamala. That was from a Harvard study. Biden won that age group by 20. So kamala is probably going to over perform there, and if young voting is up 200%, then that's a LOT of votes for kamala.

      One average under republicans presidents the economy is going worse.
      Under Trump it was the worst. Only hoover had lost more jobs then him by the time he left office.
      Democrats have been more willing to heed economic and historical lessons about what policies actually strengthen the economy, while Republicans have often clung to theories that they want to believe - like the supposedly magical power of tax cuts and deregulation. Democrats, in short, have been more pragmatic."
