Who’s Winning the Swing States? Let’s Check the Polls.

Who’s Winning the Swing States? Let’s Check the Polls.

Everything about the dynamic of the 2024 election changed when Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris to take his place on the Democratic Party ticket. But are the polls looking much different now that there’s a new match-up?

This week, host Kai Wright gets Patrick Toomey on the call to talk about some of the latest survey data in critical parts of the country. Toomey is a partner at BSG, a consulting and research firm that has collaborated with Cook Political Report and GS Strategy Group on The Swing State Project, which aims “to better understand how voters in the seven key battleground states are evaluating the many cross-pressures of the presidential and down-ballot races in their states.” Toomey discusses their findings, and whether Harris’s infusion of fresh energy is enough to steady the swing in pivotal places.

Perhaps you’ve noticed: the news is newsing in overdrive lately. Notes from America is meeting the moment with an extra podcast drop on Thursdays like this one. It's a pop-up series of conversations about politics, voters and democracy right now that we're calling “On the Call.”
