Trump’s rising support in these states underscores a potential issue for the Democratic Party’s 2024 strategy. While Vice President Kamala Harris has been making appearances in battleground states, the data suggests that these efforts may not be enough to counter the growing Trump movement. Harris, along with other prominent Democratic figures, now faces a daunting task: to rally support in areas where Trump’s message is resonating strongly.
Despite Trump’s gains in several battleground states, Towery pointed out that not all regions are trending in his favor. Georgia, a state that flipped to Biden in the 2020 election, remains a “problem child” for Republicans. Towery explained that many traditional Republicans in Georgia are still hesitant to fully back Trump. “The only problem child right now is Georgia, and that’s because you have two groups—traditionalist Republicans who go way back—they’re not feeling the groove with Trump right now,” he noted.
This division within the Republican voter base in Georgia could be a critical factor as the election draws near. For the GOP, uniting these factions will be essential if they hope to reclaim the state in 2024. On the Democratic side, Georgia remains a key target as Vice President Harris and others work to maintain the coalition that delivered a win for President Biden in the last election.

Towery also touched on how recent events, particularly the devastating storm that hit parts of the Southeast, might influence voter sentiment. The storm, which caused widespread damage in heavily Republican areas, could have a lingering impact as recovery efforts unfold. “Let me add one last thing,” Towery said, reflecting on the storm’s aftermath. “I live in the center of it in St. Petersburg, Florida. I have neighbors left and right who lost their homes. So thank you for focusing on it. It has been a brutal week for everyone in the Southeast. And by the way, that storm affected Republican areas, and I’m just saying, demographically, all the way up, basically majority Republican other than Asheville.”
The fallout from the storm could play a significant role in shaping the political landscape in these areas. As both parties continue to campaign, they must be mindful of how natural disasters and other external factors might influence voters’ priorities.
Polling has been a vital tool in U.S. elections for decades, but its accuracy and reliability have been questioned in recent years. The famous 1936 poll by the Literary Digest, which wrongly predicted that Alf Landon would defeat Franklin D. Roosevelt, serves as a reminder of the pitfalls of biased sampling. More recently, the 2016 election saw pollsters underestimate Trump’s support in key states, leading to his unexpected electoral victory over Hillary Clinton despite her winning the popular vote.
Towery’s recent polling data could be a harbinger of another unexpected shift, with Trump gaining momentum in key swing states. However, as history has shown, predictions can be risky. As both Trump and Harris ramp up their efforts ahead of the November 5 election, all eyes will be on the battleground states that could once again determine the outcome.

With the 2024 election season in full swing, former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are both making strategic visits to crucial battleground states. Trump, who is campaigning in Wisconsin, is focusing on rallying his base, while Harris is working to shore up support in areas that could be decisive for the Democratic Party.
As the polls continue to evolve, both parties will need to adapt their strategies to account for shifting voter sentiments. Whether Trump’s upward trend in battleground states will hold remains to be seen, but Towery’s analysis offers a clear message: Democrats should brace for a tougher battle than anticipated, while Republicans might have a golden opportunity to capitalize on growing support for their candidate.
In the ever-shifting world of U.S. politics, battleground states remain the ultimate test of a candidate’s appeal. With less than two months until election day, the race is on, and every poll, every rally, and every voter matters more than ever.
