Trump campaign knocks Fox News after polling shows Harris lead in battleground states
The Hill ^ | 08/29/24 10:18 AM ET | by Dominick Mastrangelo

Former President Trump’s campaign is attacking Fox News after the network released polling this week showing him trailing Vice President Harris in several key battleground states ahead of November.

“It’s that time of year again. Fox is releasing atrocious polling,” the campaign said in a statement Thursday. “President Trump continues to outperform polling from past cycles.”

“President Trump is 10 points ahead of where he was in Arizona at this point in 2020, according to Fox. Likewise, he is running 8 points ahead of his 2020 polling in Nevada and 5 points ahead of his 2020 polling in North Carolina,” it added.

The statement was in reference to a poll released Wednesday showing Harris ahead in three of the four key Sun Belt states — Arizona, Georgia and Nevada — and with an overall lead of 1 point. In previous Fox News polls, President Biden was trailing Trump in all of the four states in head-to-head match-ups.

Paul Ryan is releasing atrocious polling,” the campaign said in a statement Thursday.

Fixed it.

Fox did the same thing in 2020. Trump was up in almost all of the states in which they said he was trailing.

Makes one think that the Deep State fix is in......setting the public up for a Trump cheat defeat.

I do not trust Fox Nudes, ever since they fired Tucker.I can’t stad Brett Baer....his face looks like he is pumped full of steroids or botox, and his interviewing is sophomoric when he is talking to Democrats, just marshmallow soft questions.

Fox Sucks at election time, they run a disinformation campaign with their polling.

Mark Halprin Has a Pragmatic Warning for Kamala Harris Supporters

August 28, 2024 | Sundance

I do not know much about Mark Halprin other than what I have discerned from watching him sporadically discuss politics for years.  However, I have noticed in the last few years he is evolving toward a more sensible, pragmatic and non-pretending type of political analysis.

In this video below, Halprin speaks to something that everyone on the left is avoiding, the known problems with Kamala Harris as a candidate.

Brian Fallon is managing and hiding Kamala Harris, because Fallon and the rest of her handlers know there is very solid reasoning for why Kamala Harris was never considered a viable alternative to Biden before.  A few short weeks ago, the professional left were riddled with anxiety over Joe Biden’s mental and cognitive status, while simultaneously those same people did not want Harris as a candidate because they knew she had no skills.

You don’t have to argue with them, just ask any Democrat/Leftists to name the greatest accomplishment of Kamala Harris and you will see them melt in front of you.  Nothing about that has changed, and that’s why the DNC/Brian Fallon must hide Harris in order to maintain her ¹polling position.  If they let Kamala campaign and talk to the media, she will tank just like Ron DeSantis did (for the same reason).

Listen to Halprin first.  He’s right about this, and beyond his accuracy, what he says “might happen” – I would say is a virtual certainty.

Watch on X.

“I’m warning those of you who want Trump to lose that by the middle of next month, there’s a real possibility, based on what I’ve seen in terms of public and private data … that Kamala Harris could be where Joe Biden was,” says Mark Halperin.  “Only one electoral college path and not a particularly strong hold on it.”

*****

¹Polling Position – I cannot emphasize this enough. 

It is polling they need – REMEMBER THAT!

The problem democrats had was not that Biden lost his marbles or was losing the election, the problem was that Biden was losing by a scale that was too big for them to cover. [CTH June 29, 2024]

Democrats didn’t need a switch-out candidate who could beat Donald Trump; they needed a candidate who can give plausibility to the Clyburn ballot counting results that will say Trump lost.

The issue they had with Biden was that he made the fraud too easy to see. The Democrats do not need a candidate who can win votes, the Democrats needed a candidate who can make fraudulent ballot results seem plausible.

The need to retain ballot plausibility is why the most important political narrative for the people who control Kamala Harris, is polling!

If her handlers think she will hurt her current polling by being visible, they will keep her hidden.  If her handlers think she will hurt her polling by speaking, they will keep her quiet.

Everything Obama/Clyburn and the team will do is to manage the illusion of Kamala Harris in order to preserve the media polling narrative and thereby facilitate the determining factor of Ballot Harvesting (Obama) and Ballot Scanning (Clyburn).

here is no way Harris is leading Trump anywhere except in deep-blue states. Just cannot be true.

They’re all cooking the poll numbers to make the steal easier.

For example, it’s hard to claim an honest election if Whorezontal wins when the polls consistently showed Trump with 8+ point lead.

It’s all to demoralize and suppress turnout on our side.

Going to be hard for trump or any republican to win again as long as cnn and the media keeps propaganda alive. Revoke their license. Something needs to be done or I see a civil war in our future

Per the article, Fox has Harris ahead in GA-AZ-NV, however they show she only has a 1 point lead nationwide? No way she is only up by 1 point nationally, but leading Trump in sunbelt swing states.

Paul Ryan sold his soul to the Swamp and Deep State.

I would posit he sold his soul for a lucrative, long term contract.

There's no need for either to bother with such an easy mark.

I figured out years ago that polls on fox always give a bunch to dim-0s. Even before fox went liberal.

He got the long-term contract because of his devotion to the Deep State and Swamp.

He got the long-term contract because of his greed. He, in the end, like so many others,
is just a monkey at the end of the organ grinder's leash thinking the money in the cup is his.

On WOR 710’yesterday, immediately after reporting this survey and and claiming the same for four or five states , they reported another survey that found that most Americans believe America’s best days are ahead of her.

The bullshit machine at full tilt.
