A new poll in New Hampshire shows Vice President Kamala Harris is six points ahead of former President Donald Trump in the battleground state.

The survey of more than 2,000 registered New Hampshire voters by Saint Anselm College took place on July 24-25, after Harris secured enough delegate support to become the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

Harris leads Trump 50% to 44% in the poll. A poll taken by Saint Anselm in June after President Biden struggled in the debate showed Trump edging out Biden in New Hampshire by two points.

    I got both my brother-in law and sister-in-law to sign up for automatic voter registration and mail-in-ballots! If you know people who lean left but are kind of apathetic voters, it pays to pester them (kindly)!

    If everyone did this, we could massively amplify voter turnout.

    It’s also worth having those conversations with family and friends who lean right. You’re the only ones who could possibly get through to them. Slow and steady is key.

      Yeah. I tried “If you vote for Trump, you’re a racist.” That didn’t go well.

      What worked better was 4 granddaughters and a gay grandson. Sometimes you just have to play the long game.

        Yep, exactly! Also perhaps offering a trade, “Hey I’ll watch one thing of yours if you promise to watch one thing I send to you.” Then show them the documentary of, say, “The Brainwashing of my Dad.”
