May voters in 2024 have immigration as a top concern, according to the pew research center. approximately 61% of voters say immigration will have a significant role in their choice, which indicates that they are more concerned than they were in prior years. with 82% of trump supporters saying immigration is extremely important to their vote, a 21 point increase since the 2020 election, this surge is particularly noticeable among trump supporters, approximately 39% of Harris's supporters rank immigration as a top issue, indicating that they too think it is vital, but at a lower rate.

According to this statistics, voter groups have different interest and are becoming increasingly concerned about immigration policy and how it will affect the future of the nation. while Harris supporters may have prioritize immigration reform and more inclusive policies, trump supporters may view the high degree of worry as a push for tougher relations

one conclusion from this is that the next administration will likely face strong pressure to address immigration reform, regardless of the party in power. however, it's important to note that interpreting this data without understanding the different motivations behind each groups concern can be misleading. simply knowing that voters are worried about immigration doesn't clarify how they believe it should be handled, which could lead to policies that don't align with a significant portion of the publics wishes.

Change in electoral votes from 2020 to 2024

# data[].attributes.body
The number of electoral votes changed in 13 states, 6 states gained votes and 7 states lost votes. Each state gets at least 3 votes, one for each of their 2 senators and one for each representative in the house. This gives smaller states an influence on the result, smaller states would get more electoral votes than it would receive if it was just based on the population.

“On his first day back in office, Trump has promised to issue an executive order ending the long-standing Constitutional principle that children born in the U.S. are granted citizenship. Trump said he will instruct federal agencies to require that any child born in the U.S. have at least one parent who is a lawful permanent resident or citizen, before they can be issued a passport or Social Security number.”

Many of us are children of Latino immigrant parents here. We’ve faced racism, Trump’s negative view towards us, and his plans of mass deportation. Trump’s presidency has lead to us living in fear, not knowing if we’d come home one day to our family being torn apart, our parents or grandparents gone due to deportation. With Trump making a return, our Latino community worries again. Our family has been here for years, working awfully hard, paying taxes, doing everything in their power to help us live a better life, just for it to be thrown away. Words cannot express how unfair this is.

When a child of immigrant parents becomes of age, is already a U.S. citizen, they can help their parents get legal status or “paperwork” to stay in the U.S. permanently. At 21, they can apply to help their parents get a green card.

A green card isn’t right away given, but the process helps them legally apply for one.

However, with Trump wanting to change that, it’s difficult to know if we’re going to be able to have that way of helping our family anymore. You’re automatically a citizen if born here, even with parents who come from somewhere else.

Trump wants us out of here, and it’s always been obvious. He’s tearing families apart, taking away different ways for us to become citizens here, and justifying it with stereotypes. Trump has slapped stereotypes on our backs for years, rambling about how we’re criminals, bringing drugs and violence into the country. He’s a racist, and I cannot stress it enough.

housing in the past years has been on the rise drastically and both candidates trump and kamala want to change this. they want to make it easier to get a home since the prices are through the roof. If data from Freddie Mac is right then this year will follow the trend of declining rates that we've seen in previous elections. so while experts or specialist aren't projecting a big drop in house prices and mortgage rates there will be a steady decline which will mean that many home buys will be able to afford homes with lower incomes. So while the country's economy continues to be challenged this presidential election might make home buyers watch and wait for the prices and rates to drop.

In a poll taken this year about how comfortable people are hearing non-English languages in public, 83% of Harris supporters feel comfortable with hearing another language. However, only 53% of Trump supporters feel comfortable with it.

This divide in support of other languages in America is a small reflection of a broader cultural attitude towards diversity and integration. It shows how one side is open to the acceptance of diverse cultural expressions, while the other is prioritizing one common cultural standard as a way to preserve unity and a shared identity.

Donald Trump’s comments and actions over the years have significantly harmed his potential to connect with Hispanic and voters of color, despite his attempts to reach out to this demographic. His controversial remarks and policies have painted a picture of insensitivity and disregard for hispanic-americans and the challenges facing Latino communities in the U.S. His association with individuals who make harmful jokes about Hispanic communities, such as the "floating island of garbage" "joke" directed towards Puerto Rico, further reinforces the idea that he believes these acts of disrespect, whether or not he personally endorses such views. These factors collectively make it difficult for Trump to gain the trust and support of many Hispanic voters.

# data[].attributes.body
Even with the comment about Puerto Rico being "a floating island of garbage" made by Tony Hinchcliffe, many Latinos still sided with Trump. Since 2020 the number of eligible Latino voters has grown to almost 4 million. Trump managed to get some his Latino base back by claiming he will cut taxes and make groceries/gas more affordable for people. These claims were enough to draw Latinos back to him even though many still don't buy it because many think that he will claim to do things to help them but then get rid of them in the end.

Harris holds a slight edge in Michigan and Wisconsin, leading Trump 48% to 43% and 51% to 45%, respectively, according to a CNN poll ¹. However, the two candidates were tied at 48% in Pennsylvania but Trump won over. in states with 19 electoral votes.

Other polls also show a tight race. A Quinnipiac University poll found Harris leading Trump in Pennsylvania 51% to 45%, and holding a slight lead in Michigan 50% to 45% ². In Wisconsin, Harris and Trump are were essentially tied at 48% to 47% but then Trump broke the tie later on.

The RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Trump leading Harris, including Arizona (+2.8%), Georgia (+1.3%), and North Carolina (+1.2%), while Harris leads in Michigan (+0.5%) and Wisconsin (+0.4%) ³. But by the end Trump broke all ties and won 277 electoral votes.

According to 2020 and 2024 statistics, the income levels that active voters lie in can heavily affect the political party that they support or align with (along slide the average income of their state/county). The two polars, lower class and upper class, have a tendency (58% and 54%, respectively) to vote blue. The reasons why seem to vary between the two, with lower income people feeling unfavored by the Republican Party and the rich feel more morally inclined toward the blue party. On the other hand, middle income and upper middle income (55% and 59%, respectively) vote red, with the explanation of most that the Republican Party provide economic stability, job security and healthcare needs, according to experts. 2B

Latino support for Trump in 2024 was at 45%, being 13% more than it was in 2020. People of Latin origin are most known for being democrats, and for coming to the US due to it being an "accepting" and "free country".

I found this very shocking, because it's a well known fact that Trump isn't necessary fond of them. If Latinos know that Trump's plan is to wipe out people living here without papers, why are they in support of it, knowing that's how they or their ancestors got here? There are immigrants who have had their documentation cases pushed back, making the whole legal process a slow process, and if these Latinos know this and went through the whole process, why are they so against more immigrants coming into the US.

Immigration was a contributing factor to the 2024 election cycle, Trump made thousands of false statements connecting unauthorized immigrants to crime and other social problems, polls showed growing support among voters for reducing immigration. Public statements regarding Trump's say in immigration can be found in a public database of presidential candidate statements. He replied heavily on repetition, which researchers show that "the more times a person hears a statement, the more likely they are to believe it," even if it's true or false. One of Trump's outlined plans carry out mass deportations at a rapid rate, deporting millions of undocumented people.

In the 2024 election, thousands of immigrants are worried about what will happen under his power. He uses "logical arguments" to his advantage, which made people vote for him over Harris.

Trump was convicted of multiple things. One thing is that he is facing indictment for the interference during the 2020 election, interference for the Georgia election and taking highly sensitive national security documents when he left the white house in 2020. He was also convicted for the felony of hush money.

I believe that someone who has multiple charges against his name shouldn't be able to be elected as president, specially someone who got a lot of political people injured during the 2020 election interference in January. if he is able to encourage behavior like that imagine what other things he is able to do.

In the 2024 election, 82% of Trump supporters ranked immigration as a top priority, and it has become a huge topic in the 2024 election, especially among Republican voters. This is a huge rise from 2020. By comparison, just 39% of Harris's voters believe that immigration is necessary. This disconnect is a reflection of larger concerns about community resources, economic effect, and national security. But occasionally, these statistics are misinterpreted, resulting in oversimplified narratives that fail to convey other views that many Americans have regarding immigration policy. Voters should avoid politicized pictures that could worsen conflict and instead look for unbiased information.​

# data[].attributes.body
Even with the almost 10 million more female registered voters, Harris still has a massive disadvantage against Trump. This makes me wonder if most of these 10 million are voting for him or don´t have as much of an impact as the votes for trump. These votes could be spread thin through states that may already be solid in one color or concentrated in one state with the same issue. These votes are not in the vital swing states as Trump has won almost all of them. A key part in the democratic

party´s campaign is the right to abortion. It may be that these excess female votes do not agree with this or once again are spread too thin to have any real and substantial impact.

People who view Donald Trump's behavior and remarks differently frequently spread false information about him and abortion. Roe v. Wade was overturned as a result of Trump's election of conservative justices to the Supreme Court. As a result, states were free to pass abortion laws without influence from the federal government. While some argue that he is strongly anti-abortion, others point out that he has occasionally voiced moderate or divided opinions. The differences might result in misunderstandings since people on opposing sides frequently only discuss the facts that confirm their own opinions.

What does this mean for abortion in CT?

CT is a very democrat state, so this means we would still be able to get aid for birth control, abortion, etc. So spreading this information that women are "loosing their rights when it comes to abortion" is false.

While Harris and Democrats have gained ground among white women with college degrees, they’ve lost ground among Latino voters, according to this fall’s NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC Latino poll. I think that the change in Latino voters is due to Trump gaining the traditional liberal voters to believe that they would be given a better opportunity in they vote for trump. For example, Elon Musk was a great talker to represent Trump to make others to vote for him.

The competitive dynamics in each state are shown by polling data for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, highlighting crucial battlegrounds where the outcome is most likely to be determined. States like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania exhibit a close race with varying levels of support for the main contenders. Voters are being motivated by shifting demographics and priorities, including social and economic issues, according to polls conducted in these states. While states that are firmly red or blue, like Texas and California, exhibit predictable leanings, recent trends, such urbanization or demographic shifts, suggest that these leanings could change in the future. Swing states are crucial because polls point to a close national race with an unknown electoral college outcome.

What the 2024 election fact from NPR.Org tells me is that Donald Trump was expected to win the presidential election race because he had won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania which are swing states and reportedly the popular vote too, which is unheard of recent times. Most Republicans and analysts said that Trump was going to win because most voters felt better off four years ago than today due to because of the high inflation, increased uncertainty and worrying domestic issues like high illegal immigration or abortion.

What I can also take away from the site is that Kamala Harris was not going to win the presidential election because of the failures and bad policies like high inflation and uncertainty in the world ( Israel-Hamas War, Ukraine) during the Biden Administration which really was the main catalyst for the voters to heavily support Trump.

What my conclusion draw from the site and presidential election of 2024 is that Donald Trump was obviously going to win the election by a landslide because of the voter's frustration for the Biden Administration again with the same issues of high inflation, illegal immigration and increased uncertainty for the future and world escalation while Kamala was going to lose because of those administrative failures

Compared to 2016, Trump has won 9 MILLION more votes (62 to 71 million) AND won the popular vote. This shows that people have become dissatisfied with the current presidential administration. I think a valid conclusion I can draw is precedent is very important. Compared to vice president Harris, Trump has shown more of what he can/will do, which I think swayed the undecided voters compared to Harris, whose policies were often unclear and did not have much proof that her policies would be effective.

According to the poll, 57% of women back Harris, compared to 40% of men. Meanwhile, 58% of men support Trump compared with 41% of women.

gender will continue to be a crucial factor in polling and election outcomes in 2024. Different approaches to key issues, as well as candidate personalities and stances on gender-related topics, will likely shape voting patterns for men and women in distinct ways. This shows that a lot of man care more abt themselves and that the women that voted for trump don’t see that things that he has said and done to other women.!

The U.S. presidential election has seen a significant turnout, with early reports indicating that women make up a large portion of voters. In recent elections, women have typically voted at higher rates than men, and this year is no exception. In fact, about 55% of the total voter turnout in early voting came from women, reflecting the impact of key issues like healthcare, education, and reproductive rights. This high level of engagement among women voters could play a critical role in shaping the outcome of close races across the country.

An interesting statistic is that Trump won the popular vote having 51%. I find this very interesting because it is rare that the Republicans win the popular vote. This shows that Kamala's campaign was largely unsuccessful because she should have at least get the popular vote. One of the reasons for this also might be the sudden appearance of Kamala on the ballot. She didn't win the primaries so she just was not very popular. I also see a trend where men are going right wing and women are going left wing so that might play into politics.

“Trump plans to use a 1798 wartime statute known as the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged gang members..” (Reuters). This is a statute that was previously used as an excuse to hold Germans, Italians and Japanese people in internment camps back in 1812. For me, the implications of this law is distressing. This could be used as a way to justify holding immigrants and deporting them rapidly without any judicial reviews. And being in a family of immigrants this has a big impact on us.

Misinformation spread regarding Trump's Economy

# data[].attributes.body
Many Trump supporters claim he "built" a strong economy, which isn't accurate. Trump inherited an economy already on the rise from Obama's recovery efforts following the 2008 recession. While his policies, like tax cuts may have contributed to short-term growth, the economy was already improving when he took office. However, by the end of his term, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a massive economic downturn, and unemployment spiked to levels not seen in years. So, while Trump oversaw some economic growth, he didn’t "build" the economy from scratch, and his final year saw a sharp decline due to the pandemic. This suggests to me that Trump supporters likely haven't researched proper facts thoroughly.

The importance of the gender gap in presidential preference is highly dependent on the existence of a gender gap in turnout. According to an October 2024 survey, young Americans were much more likely to vote for Kamala Harris in the November 2024 presidential elections. Of those between the ages of 18 and 29, 60 percent said they were planning on voting for Harris, compared to 33 percent who said they planned on voting for Trump. In contrast, Trump was much more popular among those between 45 and 64 years old. Aleah w

In this statistic it shows how much motivation each age has to vote in 2024. It says that from ages 18-35, 18% of votes will 100% vote. From ages 65 and older, only 1% is 100% going to vote. This proves that the older you are the less likely you are going to vote. I can infer that this is because when you are younger, voting is new to you, so more people are eager to vote over people who have been able to vote for 40 year.
