Quote of the Day
“:The latest Hill/Emerson College poll shows Harris losing support among male voters, though she still maintains a sizable lead over Trump among California's liberal-leaning men. In Ohio, Trump has a 26-point lead among men, far more than Harris's 3-point advantage with women. And in Florida, Trump has a 12-point lead among men while Harris has a 2-point lead among women. "”
