Topics
Galen Druk:探讨了飓风、中东战争和政治丑闻对2024年美国总统大选的影响,并分析了候选人在经济、移民和堕胎等关键问题上的策略。提出了飓风可能影响选民对政府应对能力的评价,中东战争可能成为"十月惊奇",而政治丑闻可能影响选民对民主党的看法等观点。 Mary Radcliffe:认为飓风造成的破坏和损失是可怕的,目前关注点应放在确保受灾民众获得必要的帮助。同时指出,联邦政府对飓风灾后救援和支持的管理方式,可能会影响选民的投票意向。此外,她还指出,由于飓风的影响,民调结果需要谨慎对待,因为通讯中断等问题使得民调难以准确反映民意。最后,她还认为,单个政治家的丑闻通常不会对整个政党产生重大影响,选民普遍认为政客存在腐败行为。 Elliott Morris:认为中东战争对美国选民的优先事项影响不大,因为关注国际政治的选民比例较低。但他指出,如果战争恶化,可能会对拜登-哈里斯政府的执政能力提出质疑。他还分析了哈里斯在经济问题上的策略,认为她通过关注住房问题和重新定义"通货膨胀"问题,改善了其在经济问题上的公众形象。在移民问题上,他认为哈里斯的强硬立场并未改善其公众形象,因为选民仍然关注边境状况。最后,他还指出,副总统辩论是候选人重新调整竞选议题的最后机会之一,关于经济问题的讨论,可能会对选民的投票意向产生重大影响。 Mary Radcliffe: 分析了飓风、中东战争和政治丑闻对2024年美国总统大选的影响,并对民调结果进行了分析和解读。她认为,飓风可能影响选民对政府应对能力的评价,中东战争的影响有限,除非其他更受关注的国家参与其中。政治丑闻对大选的影响可能有限,主要原因是选民普遍认为政客存在腐败行为。她还指出,选民的投票决定因素并非单一问题,而是多种因素的综合结果,许多选民会投票给他们在特定问题上认为表现较差的候选人。 Elliott Morris: 分析了候选人在经济、移民和堕胎等关键问题上的策略,并对民调结果进行了分析和解读。他认为,哈里斯在经济问题上的支持率有所提高,这主要归功于她对住房问题的关注。在移民问题上,他认为哈里斯的强硬立场并未改善其公众形象,因为选民仍然关注边境状况。在堕胎问题上,他认为民主党在堕胎问题上的优势依然存在,堕胎问题的重要性正在上升,持续关注堕胎问题,可能会对选举结果产生影响。 Galen Druk: 主持了本次播客讨论,并对其他两位嘉宾的观点进行了总结和补充。他提出了飓风可能影响选民对政府应对能力的评价,中东战争可能成为"十月惊奇",而政治丑闻可能影响选民对民主党的看法等观点。他还对候选人在经济、移民和堕胎等关键问题上的策略进行了总结,并指出选民的投票决定因素并非单一问题,而是多种因素的综合结果。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter discusses the potential impact of Hurricane Helene, the escalating Israel-Hezbollah war, and various political scandals on the 2024 election. It analyzes whether these events will shift voter focus from the main campaign issues and influence voter perceptions of the candidates. The impact of these events on key swing states and the House of Representatives races is also examined.
  • Hurricane Helene's destruction and loss of life could influence voter perceptions of government competence.
  • The escalating Israel-Hezbollah war might become a factor if it expands to involve other major regional actors.
  • Political scandals, particularly in New York, may impact Democratic popularity in key states.
  • A scandal involving Republican Representative Anthony D'Esposito could influence control of the House.

Shownotes Transcript

There's a lot going on in the world as we head into the final stretch of the 2024 election: a devastating hurricane, a growing war in the Middle East, multiple high profile scandals and an upcoming VP debate. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew asks whether any of these big stories are changing the subject of the campaign.

They also look at what how former President Trump and Vice President Harris are appealing to voters on some of the issues voters say are most important to them: the economy, immigration and abortion. Both Harris and Trump recently gave major economic speeches, Harris talked tough on immigration during a visit to the Southern border and Trump tried to allay concerns about his stance on abortion. But are they changing voters' perceptions?
