Since Biden withdrew and tapped Kamala Harris for president, motivation to vote among people in battleground states is up, among women and men.
Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff step off Air Force Two as they arrive at Joint Base Andrews, Md., on Aug. 23, 2024.
In the eight days after Biden withdrew from the race and passed the torch to Harris, the motivation to vote among people in five battleground states jumped 42 points, from 37 percent to 79 percent, according to a poll conducted for EMILYs List and released during the Chicago convention. “Polling shows that women want to vote for a woman candidate, and that this is one factor for women deciding how they will vote,” said Kathy Spillar,Fifty percent of female respondents said they supported Harris, compared to 39 percent who said they backed Biden before he dropped out in July. Again Harris showed the greatest gains among younger women. Slightly more than half—52 percent—of women under 45 said they backed her, compared to just 30 percent who supported Biden.
Harris and the entire Democratic Party are positioning themselves as champions of women—the only group of Americans ever to have lost a constitutional right. Normington echoed that sentiment. Abortion is “the number one best thing that we can say to the voters. It is the most persuasive thing,” she said. “It is important in urban communities, suburban communities, in rural communities, among voters at the oldest of the spectrum and the youngest end of the spectrum. It helps in the middle of the ideological spectrum, and it helps our base.”
