Now, these aren't just opinions from likely or registered voters—these are real data points from people who have actually cast their ballots, so it's the most reliable information on who’s getting votes right now.

In this video, we'll focus on early voting trends in Georgia and North Carolina, two states that could be crucial on the electoral map. According to a CNN poll, Harris currently leads with 51% in both Georgia and North Carolina, with Trump at 44% and 45% in each state, respectively. These numbers give Harris a notable advantage in the early voting data, which is quite telling.
We also have data from TargetSmart that gives us an overview of party breakdowns among early voters. While Georgia doesn’t report party registration data like North Carolina does, TargetSmart uses a modeling system to estimate these numbers. As it stands, about 48% of early voters in Georgia are Republicans, 45% are Democrats, and 7% fall under "other." Despite this Republican turnout advantage, Harris still leads Trump by 51% in the exit polls, suggesting some Republican or independent voters are crossing party lines to support her.
Historically, some Republicans, like those affiliated with groups such as the Lincoln Project, have been vocal about opposing Trump. We’ve even seen high-profile endorsements for Harris from Republican figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger. This cross-party support could be a factor in Harris's early lead, especially among independent and moderate voters.
Looking further at the voter demographics, Georgia shows that 56% of early voters are women and 44% are men, indicating that women might play a significant role in this election. In North Carolina, we see a similar trend with unaffiliated voters, who comprise a large share of the electorate and appear to be leaning towards Harris. If this trend holds through Election Day, it could be decisive in both states.
...about Georgia and North Carolina here. But if we’re seeing this pattern in key states, it gives us a lot of insight into the overall momentum of the race.
Now, the big picture here is that if Harris is pulling even a small percentage of Republicans, especially in places like Georgia and North Carolina, which are traditionally battleground or Republican-leaning states, it could signal significant trouble for Trump. These exit polls are showing a meaningful shift, and as we know, when Republicans start crossing over, that can make a big difference in tight races.
Let’s also talk about the unaffiliated or independent voters, who can be unpredictable but crucial in swing states. Exit polling shows a notable lean toward Harris among unaffiliated voters. If these unaffiliated voters consistently favor Harris, especially at a two-to-one ratio like in North Carolina, then it becomes very challenging for Trump to close the gap, even with high Republican turnout.
We also have to keep in mind the enthusiasm gap. With more women voting and voter turnout on track to surpass 2020 numbers, we’re looking at an electorate that is clearly engaged. High turnout among women, who statistically lean Democratic in recent years, could work in Harris’s favor, especially given the issues that have mobilized women voters nationally. Trump’s campaign might be picking up on this enthusiasm gap, which could be why he’s focusing on claims of voter fraud and suggesting the election results might be unfair. Historically, this rhetoric tends to ramp up when a campaign senses potential issues in critical states.
Lastly, as I mentioned before, groups like the Lincoln Project and other Republican-leaning organizations have been vocal about their opposition to Trump, endorsing Harris or encouraging Republicans to cross over. This isn’t something we’ve seen as much on the Democratic side, where there’s more unity behind Harris. So, when we see Republicans voting for Harris, it's not an isolated case—it’s part of a broader trend of “Never Trump” Republicans. And these groups likely won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
Now, I want to bring this back to the electoral map. If Harris can keep her lead in these battleground states, especially with early voting margins, it will force Trump to find new pathways to the 270 electoral votes he needs. This could mean that even if he holds on to the traditional Republican base, he may struggle to build enough support in these swing states, especially if early votes are leaning toward Harris.
In summary, if these exit polls are accurate and this trend continues, it could be a tough road for Trump in both Georgia and North Carolina, which are essential to his re-election path. This crossover of Republicans voting for Harris, combined with high turnout among key demographics like women, suggests that Harris might have an edge in these pivotal states. We’ll be watching these numbers closely as Election Day approaches to see if this early advantage holds.
So, that’s our analysis of the exit polls in Georgia and North Carolina. Remember, these are just early indicators, but they’re giving us a snapshot of where things are trending.
