The focus is squarely on seven battleground states that will decide this Presidential election, which remains a tossup and probably will be for the next two months.
Polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow lead over former President Donald Trump nationally, and in many but not all of those swing states, but they’re all within the margin of error and could swing either way. That means that turnout, ground game, voter registration and mobilization will once again determine who wins, just as was the case in 2016 and 2020, with such a closely divided electorate.
So both campaigns are working hard to identify low propensity voters and get them on their side, which makes a new study from USC’s Center for Inclusive Democracy all the more interesting. It takes a look at just who votes and who doesn’t, in nine states, including the seven major swing states plus Texas and Florida.
For more on this, KCBS Political Reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Mindy Romero, Founder and Director of the Center, and the lead author of this study.
