In the latest edition of NBC News’ From the Politics Desk newsletter, national political correspondent Steve Kornacki analyzes Donald Trump’s standing in the polls in Georgia and North Carolina. Trump seems to be polling better in Georgia than in North Carolina, despite demographic similarities between the two states and Democratic progress in Georgia. Kornacki explores potential reasons for this discrepancy, including possible polling errors and demographic influences.
Additionally, national political reporter Ben Kamisar delves into the growing trend of early voting, with half of registered voters planning to cast their ballots early. Democrats are leading among early voters, while Republicans have stronger support among those planning to vote on Election Day. This partisan split in voting methods reflects a significant shift in voter behavior during the Trump era, with Democrats historically holding smaller leads with early voters.
The newsletter also covers a range of top stories, including Biden’s U.N. farewell speech, Nebraska GOP Gov. Jim Pillen’s decision not to change the state’s electoral vote allocation, and Harris’s remarks on the filibuster and abortion rights. Police are investigating gunfire damage at a Democratic Party-coordinated campaign office in Arizona, and the Secret Service is increasing security around Trump. Lastly, Johnny Cash becomes the first musician to have a statue at the U.S. Capitol.
