The new NBC News poll shows 51% of registered voters saying they plan to vote early, with that group breaking hard for Harris and Election Day voters backing Trump.

Half of registered voters plan to vote early this fall, new figures from the September NBC News poll show, with Democrats continuing to run up the score among early voters and Republicans getting stronger backing from those who plan to vote in person on Election Day.

Fifty-one percent of voters say they’ll vote early, either by mail or in person, with Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump 61%-35% (a 26-point margin) among those voters.

By comparison, Trump leads by 20 points, 57%-37%, with the group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, which accounts for 45% of the electorate in the poll. It’s a smaller lead among a slightly smaller share of the electorate than Harris has over those early voters.

    Texas will need to go blue before that happens. Republicans know that selective enforcement by racist police keeps people they don’t want to vote in jail.

      Texas is a lot bluer than people give it credit for, but we are one of the most gerrymandered states in the union. Going blue will take more like 70/30 instead of 51/49.

      Before people judge the state, they should look at how the populated cities vote, and understand that the big swaths of red on the election map tend to be inhabited by cows and hogs.

        Hey now. We’ve also got goats and fish.

        And really ticked off blue voters watching the same Trump fondlers get elected over and over again
