Kamala Harris builds big lead over Trump in national poll — as GOP blasts lack of interviews in cautious rollout
The New York Post ^ | 08/08/2024 | Steven Nelson

Vice President Kamala Harris has a commanding lead nationally over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll — as Republicans accuse Harris of avoiding media interviews for more than two weeks to avoid stumbling and potentially ending her “honeymoon” period as the Democratic candidate.

Harris would take 50% of the vote to Trump’s 42% among likely voters if third-party candidates are options, Marquette Law School found in a poll conducted July 24-Aug. 1, shortly after President Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed Harris as his successor.

Although the poll’s margin is an outlier compared to other recent surveys, it reflects the trend toward Harris, 59, and away from Trump, 78 — as other indicators hint at a surge of enthusiasm among Democrats, including massive rallies rivaling the size of Trump’s and a tidal wave of fundraising.

*** The Harris-Walz campaign raised a whopping $36 million in the 24 hours after Walz was announced Tuesday — before the pair spoke to rallies topping 10,000 attendees in Philadelphia that night and similarly sized rallies in western Wisconsin and Detroit on Wednesday.

Harris’ campaign pulled in $310 million across its supporting committees in July — more than doubling Trump’s $138.7 million that month.

Harris’ basement campaign combined with the MSM’s hagiographic coverage of her seems to be paying big dividends.

Worked for dementia Joe in 2020. Now just make sure there are lots of ballots cast, and there is just enough confusion that nobody can really keep track of where they came from.

“Nationwide” includes California and New York which will be 60-40 at best, skewing the actual numbers where they matter.
National polls are just used for propaganda.

The latest Rasmussen poll tells a completely different story, with Trump staying ahead of Kommiela.

Polls are all over the place:

These are all from today. Nothing is believable at this point.

and according to a few polls I find actually trustworthy, Trump still leads.

Let’s be honest....the Murdochs would much prefer Heels Up Harris to Trump. So all their outlets are going to push an anti Trump line.

“Harris’ campaign pulled in $310 million across its supporting committees in July — more than doubling Trump’s $138.7 million that month.”

Mostly laundered foreign money through ACT Blue. If that Democrat PAC doesn’t go down as a criminal outfit that it is, it will be the crime of the century.

Oh look, the butt hurt never-Trumpers found a poll they can get excited about. Even though every other poll has Trump up over the ho.

I don’t.

****************

You shouldn’t believe it because it’s BS.
However, we need Harris to be the democrat nominee. So this “rah rah” Harris nonsense doesn’t bother me at all.

Trump and Vance will make mincemeat out of the Harris/Walz ticket between September- November 5th.

I’m wondering if New York might get that good deal redder, even if Manhattan and a few other areas ultimately save her in that state.

You're being gaslit (gaslighted?)

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris

Look at the latest polls from CNBC and Rasmussen:

CNBC poll taken 7/31-8/4: Trump +2.

Rasmussen poll taken 8/1-8/7: Trump +5.

The 'sugar high' around Harris is wearing off.
