Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris by just one point among men, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted by Outward Intelligence between August 11 and 15, shows that 46 percent of men back Trump compared to Harris’ 45 percent.

Among women, Harris was 13 points ahead, on 53 percent to Trump’s 40 percent.

The poll surveyed 1,858 likely voters and had a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percent.

      But the survey had a margin of error of 2.3%, so it really could be Harris leading Trump also. The wording of this article title is a helping hand for Trump when he is pouring over his printed out “news” his handlers give him every morning.

        Most importantly, a significant proportion of the American population — well beyond what should ever be considered normal or acceptable — consider a sociopathic, convicted criminal, rapist, probable pedophile, who has never worked an honest day in his life, was born with a silver spoon firmly lodged deep inside his asshole, and very obviously suffers from multiple personality and neurological illnesses; they consider this person a viable candidate, when he should be confined to a padded room.

        Now ask yourself this! If the Democrats represent freedom and Trump is the greatest threat America has ever faced (HE IS), why do the Democrats tolerate a turnkey totalitarian surveillance apparatus? Why would you watch the country straddle the precipice of fascism, and let a big brother style, gustapo surveillance apparatus, exist for your successor to just take over and command. Only 0.00000001% of your employees have ever stood against your criminal behavior, and you expect us to believe that these people would defend us from a hostile government or adversary?

        Also consider that she is now the closest a Democrat has gotten with the male vote in 16 years. Trump led Biden and Clinton by at least 5 points. She is kicking his ass.

      Something doesn’t add up then. Outward Intelligence gave Harris a +4 to +6 in their national poll. If she is losing men by 1 and winning women by 21 it suggests that women are either like 3x less likely to vote, or there is some serious +R herding going on.

        I know what you mean, but I didn’t mean education. There are well educated people who support Trump. I meant stupid people. If you take out the stupid people, educated or not, you take out all of Trump’s supporters.

          That’s not a real thing. That’s a label you put on people for your own emotional needs. It is something you are projecting, it doesn’t exist in the real world.

          Fortunately, education level DOES make a big difference.

    As a complete outsider, being a woman in a country where half the men are Trump supporters sounds fucking terrifying.

      It’s also kinda terrifying as a dude, tbh.

      Note: That in no way diminishes or detracts from any part of what you said.

        Yeah, I think that’s a very valid point that I didn’t immediately give enough consideration.

          As a man, I’m completely embarrassed by what I see out of his male supporters, and I’m baffled by his female supporters when Trump’s own wife and daughter don’t want anything to do with him.

      And it’s been worse recently with the popularity of misogynists/bigots like Tate and Rogan.

    How much were undecided, and how much were Kennedy supporters? You just know all those Kennedy nut jobs will come home to roost in Trump’s column when he drops out. So it could be as bad as 55 Trump, 45 Harris - or with the error thrown in - 57 Trump 43 Harris.

      If you look at the all the elections of the last 28 years, men, especially white men, have strongly leaned Republican. If you look at 2020 and 2016 the only racial group that voted overwhelmingly for Trump have been white men. The only time men have not had a >1 point support of the Republican candidate were in 2008 and 1996. In 2008, Obama eked out a 1 point lead over McCain while in 1996 Bill Clinton was in the same spot versus Bob Dole, only one point behind.

    Jokes and (valid) worries about how many men are still supporting this dumpster fire aside… A poll like this has got to be setting off the fire alarms at Trump campaign HQ and I am giddy as hell to see it. The last time Democrats came this close to winning the overall male vote was 2008. If this margin holds out we could be looking at an absolute blowout (or at least as close as one gets in today’s climate). Shame the Senate map means we won’t get a 60-seat Senate, though…

      Yeah, people are looking at this all wrong. These numbers are incredibly close. Trump about a 5 point lead over Biden in 2020 and 8 against Clinton in 2016. Now he has 1 point versus Harris in 2024? Dude is losing, badly.
