We’ve Been Underestimating the Scale of #Women’s #Fury
By Michelle Goldberg
On Saturday evening I was watching a movie w/my family when a text message made me gasp so hard that it scared them. “What happened?” my husband asked, worried. “Nothing bad,” I said, slightly overcome. “It’s just … #AnnSelzer has #Harris up 3 in #Iowa!”

The state hasn’t been swingy in a long time, but the #Selzer poll, conducted for The #DesMoinesRegister, can offer clues about broader trends in the electorate. In 2016, when many #Democrats were feeling complacent about a #HillaryClinton victory, her survey showing #Trump leading by 7pts in Iowa was an early indication of his underestimated strength in the Midwest.

in reply to Nonilex • • •(#Trump ended up winning #Iowa by >9 points.) In 2020, her poll again showed Trump ahead by 7pts, which was both close to the final tally &, in retrospect, a sign that #Biden’s margins in neighboring states like #Wisconsin would be much thinner than other polls were indicating.
So many of us were anxious to see how big Trump’s lead would be this time, & the fact that #Selzer instead found him #losing came as a shock.

I had been waiting for this for months.
Never will I understand women voting for Trump that aren't hardcore MAGA|ts and or from the religious right.
Even if they believe that they were financially much better of during #TFG's first and hopefully final presidency, how can you trade that for the ever-present danger of a miscarriage of women among your family and friends from about 12-50?

...The Economist explained in his recent podcast endorsing #Harris, this time, there will not his staffers and the beaucrats reigning in his excesses. Through #Project2025 (e.g. replacing many important beaurocrats with loyalists) and the #SupremeCourt, #Trump will have quasi unfettered powers.
We've all been looking at the wrong #Apprentice:
"Sir, my need is sore.
Spirits that I've cited
My commands ignore."
