Har­ris won cat ladies’ vote, while Trump won dog own­ers’: Sur­vey

The sur­vey was con­duct­ed by NORC at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Chica­go over eight days with more than 120,000 vot­ers from a sam­ple of ran­dom­ly drawn reg­is­tered vot­ers. It found that Trump won about six in 10 male vot­ers who owned a dog but no cat. Vot­ers who owned a dog were more like­ly to sup­port Trump by 52% over Har­ris.

When Trump chose Sen. J.D. Vance (R‑OH) to become his run­ning mate, videos sur­faced of past com­ments that the sen­a­tor made about “child­less cat ladies.” Singer Tay­lor Swift and oth­er Hol­ly­wood celebri­ties embraced the “child­less cat lady” label with their endorse­ments of Har­ris for pres­i­dent.

Vance’s own neigh­bors of Alexan­dria, Vir­ginia, attempt­ed to harass him and his fam­i­ly with child­less cat lady neigh­bor­hood par­ties in a park out­side his house.

Despite Vance’s child­less cat ladies com­ment over the sum­mer, Trump went viral on social media in Sep­tem­ber when he shared sto­ries of Spring­field, Ohio res­i­dents upset over a Hait­ian immi­grant inva­sion of their small town dur­ing a pres­i­den­tial debate with Har­ris.

His com­ments were in ref­er­ence to viral videos at Spring­field city coun­cil meet­ings of res­i­dents talk­ing about Hait­ian migrants tak­ing over their town.

A Tik­Tok dance spread to the beat of a remix song of Trump’s pres­i­den­tial debate com­ments that migrants were “eat­ing the dogs” and “eat­ing the cats.” Memes of Trump sav­ing kit­tens and dogs spread on social media.
