Less than a month until Election Day, there is no change in the race for the White House, as former President Donald Trump still holds a two-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris.
October 10, 2024Places to Watch, Part Two: The Sun Belt By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— In North Carolina, Kamala Harris seems likely to gain in suburban Cabarrus County but may have to watch rural counties like Wilson.
— While it is not the most likely case, two Georgia counties that have trended in the opposite direction, Fayette and Sumter, could both conceivably flip.
— While Phoenix’s Maricopa County dominates Arizona, raw vote margins in a trio of its other large counties have proved predictive.
— In Nevada, Las Vegas and Reno predominate.

                            October 8, 2024Climate Change Danger – Truth or Misinformation? By Brian C. Joondeph
Climate change continues to be a hot election issue, at least for Democrats.
At the recent vice-presidential debates, one of Republican J.D. Vance’s several debate opponents, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, when asking about Hurricane Helen, started not with disaster relief, but the usual Democrat canard of climate change: “Scientists say climate change makes these hurricanes larger, stronger and more deadly because of the historic rainfall.”
Is this the important issue Democrats claim it to be?
Pew Research ranked climate change 10th on a list of 10 top issues for voters in the 2024 election.

Vice presidential debates don't matter, we have been assured over and over. No one votes for vice president or a presidential nominee for her or his choice of running mate. You can go back and look at snap polls taken after past vice presidential debates and find basically zero correlation with the final election results.
