Gas Prices Fall Ahead of Election Day

Gas prices in the U.S. have seen a slight decline, averaging $3.131 per gallon, down from $3.135 on Wednesday and lower than last week's $3.15. This marks the lowest price since January 2024, as prices remain a crucial issue ahead of the presidential election, particularly for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. In Texas, early voting turnout is at 29%, showing a slight increase compared to previous years but still lagging behind the surge seen in 2020. Notably, young women are leading early voting efforts, favoring Harris over Trump, while overall early voting continues to trend positively. Analysts suggest that this gender gap could significantly influence the election outcomes as voter demographics evolve. With record registration numbers, the potential for increased voter turnout remains high.
