52% of White suburban women said they would vote for Trump in 2024! WSJ Poll

Is this a joke?

If the 2024 election were between Mr. Biden and former President Donald Trump, 41% of white suburban women said they would vote for Mr. Biden and 52% Mr. Trump. In August, 55% said Mr. Biden and 39% Mr. Trump.

The electorate is not as aware, engaged, or progressive as we tend to think it is.

The average voter is stupid, fickle, ignorant, and profoundly selfish - and there is no fixing that on less than a generational timescale.

Adjust expectations and priorities accordingly.

It isn't.

It is our 1/3, their 1/3 and a 1/3 you just described, that FAR too often falls for the right wing bullshit.

We have been pushing mud my entire life.

At one point they say, "The abortion issue has faded in importance." RepubliQans are working REAL hard to make us believe that. It's total bullshit.

Our uteruses are still here. It's still life and death.

Whew 375 people who will vote for him. Now that’s amazing!


I always check to see how many people get polled. That’s the only way to get to the meat of polling. Then once that polling data is revealed, you can pretty much determine there’s nothing to worry about.

.... just anecdotally thinking about my FB friends, specifically white women I went to high school with (GenXer, HS in the late 80s) - I would say a slight majority (very slight) are Trump voters. Not hardcore, vitriolic MAGA types but they voted for Trump nonetheless. So perhaps that 52% figure isn't that far off the mark.

you said they voted for Trump in the past. I'm not shocked by this at all. I grew up in the South and I encountered a lot of white women who were nice and friendly and then would vote for Republicans. No one should be shocked by this. Women regardless of race tend to e prone to being down with nationalism when it comes to their race. This is why republicans are good at getting the majority of white women.

That is, are they tracking the same group and finding they have changed their minds, or are they asking two separate groups and finding different results.

With such a small sample (375 people), if it is two different groups, this is just noise.

I reckon their are more than 375 suburbs in America, so they polled less than 1 person per suburb. Sounds less than definitive.
