Sick of polls? Here are 2 other ways to measure the presidential raceIn the week after Vice President Harris became the Democratic nominee,TargetSmart’s report, based on data released by 38 states, found that women accounted for nearly 55% of all new registrants recorded. The July 2024 surge in the percentage of women registering to vote compared to men even exceeded the highest previous such imbalance which was recorded in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision in June of 2022. Young Black women led the way, with registration nearly tripling relative to the same point in 2020. Overall, Black women almost doubled their registration numbers from 2020; young Hispanic women registration increased by a 150%.
The same trends were evident in the data TargetSmart collected from those battleground states that have published their voter registration data so far. For example, in Pennsylvania, the proportion of new registrations from voters under 30 rose 59.6% compared to 2020. Black registration was up 110% overall—262% among Black women. The proportionate rise in registration for Democrats was more than double the rate for Republicans.
In North Carolina, 43% of new registrants were under 30 compared to only a 20% rise in 2020. In the week after Harris became the presumptive nominee, the total number of registrants was almost 50% higher than it was during the same week in 2020 (17,178 to 12,426).
The greatest proportionate rise among young voters in any of the battleground states occurred in Nevada where the number of Hispanic women under 30 registering to vote was three times the number in 2020. Black female registration doubled according to that state’s data.
Another metric that seems to bear good news for the Democratic candidate is the amount of money each campaign has raised. The impact Harris’ candidacy is having on the composition of the electorate, evidenced in the new voter registration data, was reflected in the campaign’sAugust fundraisingwith 1.3 million of the nearly three million contributions coming from people making their first donation in 2024.
In August, the Harris campaign raised $361 million compared to Trump’s $130 million, representing a decline from his $139 million July numbers. In just theday following the debate, the Harris campaign raised $47 million from nearly 600,000 individual donors. Since she became the nominee, hercampaign has raisedalmost double the amount of money the Trump campaign has. Of that amount, 41.63% came from donations of less than $200 compared to Trump’s smaller donor percentage of 31.71%.
