EXCLUSIVEHow wealthy Hamptons residents are displaying their support for Trump and why it spells trouble for Biden with key demographic
Wealthy Hamptons residents are displaying their support for Donald Trump over Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential elections.
A boutique in East Hampton, popular among affluent New York City vacationers and celebrities, is selling merchandise that supports for both candidates.
The Monogram Shop is keeping a tally of which decorated cup is selling more and Trump is far and away ahead with 771 sold compared to Biden's 397.
Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump proudly shared a picture of the cup count on her Instagram page with her 1.8 million followers.
It comes after a new poll revealed that Trump has a three-point edge over Biden across the seven battleground states for the 2024 presidential election.

The Monogram Shop is selling Biden-Harris 2024 cups alongside Trump 2024 merchandise for $3 both in store and online.
Its most recent count shows Trump ahead in sales by 374 with 70 sold on Tuesday compared to Biden's 11.
Lara took to Instagram to brag about her father-in-law's popularity and posted a picture alongside the track Y.M.C.A.
Valerie Smith, who has owned the store for 27 years, told DailyMail.com the cup count has accurately predicted the outcome of each election since 2004.
'I was not going to do it this year, instead I printed cups with "Let us pray 2024", simply because I felt the atmosphere felt toxic and complicated.
'But people kept on asking me to do it, so we started three weeks ago and began keeping a count.'
Valerie said almost all of the buyers of the Trump cups have been women.
'Since the polling, it constantly mentions that Trump support is low with suburban women but that is who is walking in and buying these cups.'
She added that since Biden's dismal debate display, there has been a significant increase in sales of the 'Let us pray 2024' cups.
'I have done it because I am a student of politics, I really care. People love it, it’s a way of engaging and understanding what people in this country think,' Valerie said.
'It has always been light hearted and expression themselves about the election.'
Suffolk County has voted for Trump in the last two presidential elections but the Hamptons is filled with wealthy New York City vacationers and celebrities for the holiday weekend.
A new poll has revealed that Trump has a three-point lead over Biden across seven battleground states.
Following a debate widely assessed as a disaster for President Biden, the former president is now seeing a bump with just four months until Election Day in November.
Biden's campaign tried to get ahead of bad polling and downplay any future dip, writing last week: 'It will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls.'
Half of respondents who voted for Biden in 2020 now tell CBS News/YouGov polling they don't think he should be running for reelection this year and claim they are less likely to turn out in November.
Nationally, Trump is ahead by two points, but in the much more consequential swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the former president's advantage grows to three percent, which is outside the poll's 2.3 percent margin of error.
Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin all voted red in 2016 and flipped to vote blue for Biden in 2020.
Nevada voted Democrat in both elections but is considered a toss-up this year, and North Carolina voted Republican in the last two presidential races but is also a battleground in this election.

The winner this year will come down to how the electoral college votes are awarded in these seven states.
And it's not just preference for the candidates, but enthusiasm is also lacking on the left.
After the debate, Democrats say they are less likely than right-leaning voters to show up to vote in the general election.
A whopping 90 percent of Republican voters say they 'definitely' will vote in the November 5 election, while 81 percent of Democrats say the same.
Only 71 percent of independent voters say they are for sure coming out to cast their ballots in the fall.
Overall, 69 percent of registered voters don't think the 81-year-old president should be running for reelection, according to the poll.
Even before polls were coming out showing a dire message to Biden after he stumbled through the CNN debate in Atlanta, his campaign was downplaying any dip.
Biden's campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon wrote: 'On every metric that matters, data shows it did nothing to change the American people's perception, our supporters are more fired up than ever, and Donald Trump only reminded voters of why they fired him four years ago and failed to expand his appeal beyond his MAGA base.'
'If we do see changes in polling in the coming weeks, it will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls,' she added.
