If the November election was held today, which candidate would you vote for?

Former President Trump (31%) – "He is the most experienced candidate, he has the respect of the other nations and their leaders, He has persevered in the face of the Democratic machine trying to create a socialist society. He has endured all the falsehoods manifested by the Democrats. America should be tired and fed up with the false allegations and fear mongering by the Democrats."

• "We need to get back to our roots as a country, return true freedom to its people, and jettison the socialist agendas. Freedom and hard work made this country great. Trump is the closest candidate to returning the country to the people without a civil war."

"He's the best candidate for getting our economy back on track and securing our border and getting our country out of wars we don't belong in. Not to mention, if Trump was president instead of Biden, we wouldn't be in those wars. Trumps belief is America first and foremost. We don't need a radical Californian in the White House. That state is so screwed up and Harris is just an extension of their policies. She was given one job as Vice president, border control. She failed miserably. She will do more of the same as President."

Vice President Harris (50%) – "For the future - for democracy, for the planet, for civil rights, for social justice, for environmental justice, for health justice, for economic justice, for reproductive rights, for voting rights, for the courts. For respect, for integrity, for kindness, for honesty, for transparency. For hope."

• "My vote for Harris ensures that women’s reproductive rights are protected, that my elderly parents have their Social Security and Medicare protected and we have more of a chance for bipartisanship. Trump and his followers are too divisive and I feel want to split this country apart. And quite frankly, I’m very worried that he wants to become a dictator. How do we fight that once he’s in office?"

"She will do all in her power to fight climate change, gun violence, gender/lgbtq inustice and promote equity for all. Donald Trump will actively destroy the values of the American people while threatening our personal safety and the safety of our nation."

• "Harris is a much better choice than Biden given his age and questions surrounding his mental capacity. Still don't love it, but she's better than the Republicans who want to turn America into some kind of oppresive dystopian future for everyone but themselves. And as long as we have the electoral college with the winner takes all delegate system, a 3rd party candidate will never win unless there is an organized effort across the country from local to federal levels."

"Because the presidency takes a lot of energy to do it well and Trump does not have what it takes to make it 4 more years in the White House. Also, the continued advocacy of disproved conspiracy theories makes me not trust the thought process of both Kennedy and Trump."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (7%) – "He is an earnest man with character. He is by no means perfect, but if anyone could be a good leader as president in this race, its him. I'm done settling for a lesser evil. Even if he doesn't win, I would rather vote for him and hold a good conscience than to vote for someone I don't believe is fit for office."

Another third-party candidate (5%) – "I just want to express that there is a statistical interest in opening up the election to more than two parties. With only two options to pick the lesser evil from, our system simply masquerades as a democracy while functioning as political theatre with leadership selected, not elected, from a chosen few who promise to maintain a status quo economy that benefits the 1% and keeps close corporate ties to government."

Not planning to vote/Too young to vote (3%) – "I'm still a minor, which has been especially frustrating this year, when it's such an important election. If I could vote, I would vote for Harris. There's been a lot of buzz surrounding Project 2025; prior to the recent Supreme Court decisions, I would have been inclined to assume that it would never come to fruition, but now I'm a little more frightened of the long-lasting repercussions that could very well ensue from Trump having the opportunity to appoint still more people to the SCOTUS. I'm tired of the polarization & villanization that have been characteristic of politics in this country for years, and I'd rather see Harris than a candidate like Trump who would inarguably contribute to that."

Unsure/other (4%) – "I can’t stomach voting for either Harris or Trump and not sure how to use my vote in the end."
