Poll: Donald Trump Closing Gap in National Matchup as Kamala Harris Slides
Breitbart ^ | 09/06/2024 | Hannah Knudsen

Posted on 09/06/2024 12:18:45 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Vice President Kamala Harris is losing momentum, as former President Donald Trump appears to be closing the gap, according to an Emerson College survey released on Thursday.

The latest national survey of the presidential race found Harris leading Trump with 49 percent among likely voters — two points higher than Trump’s 47 percent. However, that is well within the survey’s ± 2.9-3 percent margin of error.

It also reflects a shift away from Harris over the last month. In August, Harris saw 50 percent support from likely voters, and Trump came in four points behind, with 46 percent support. In other words, Trump has closed the gap by two points over the last month, gaining one point in support while Harris has lost one point in support.

This is something Trump predicted, in part, as he said in August that Harris’s “honeymoon” period would come to its eventual end.

2024 should be a 1988 landslide but here we are.

Also, because most low information Dem voters only know what the propaganda media has told them. They surely never mentioned how Kamala got started in high public office

I remember the '88 election well! In the previous Prez election in '84, early in the summer the polls all said Mondale would beat Reagan handily. But as time went on, Mondale's numbers slipped and slipped and slipped, and Reagan went on to win a 49-state landslide.

4 years later, Dukakis was light years ahead of GHWB early on, but then his numbers also started slipping inexorably downwards. One day, a friend of mine asked: "Do you know what the word 'Dukakis' actually means in Greek?" Me: "Nope". Friend: "It means 'Mondale'."

LOL!

1984 perhaps, or 1972?

Closing the imaginary gap.
This race is not even close, they just have to keep their morale up by posting this crap.

A reminder that any such sampling must necessarily include CA and NY. Those have enormous Dem sampling leads and because of their populations, they have a huge effect on the measurement of national attitudes.

Trump has similar huge leads in neither TX or FL. So there are no big populations to offset the impact of CA and FL.

This is the source of the broad understanding that it requires a substantial lead in popular vote for a Dem to translate that to an electoral college sampling lead.

Oh, and there is no VBM fraud in computation of sampling, so there is no point in talking about cheating when talking about polls. It is irrelevant to the sampling process.

I don’t think Harris has much real support. It’s fiction.

My general belief is that they will steal it for her and block anyone who tries to question it.

My secondary thought is that they will decide that the steal would be too big, and they won’t make any effort at all to steal. Which means a landslide for Trump. BUT if they keep pushing stories about how Harris is ahead, and Harris is definitely going to win — when the votes are counted and Trump wins in a landslide? I think the US government will accuse him of fraud and try to cancel the whole thing. Deny it happened. Encourage an insurrection. They can’t allow Trump to win. So it didn’t happen.

This same pollster has Trump down in California 60-36 and Harris within the margin of error in Texas and Florida. IF you were take that at face value and assume Harris up by 10 in Illinois where does Trump make up all of those votes if he isn’t winning everywhere else?

Just watch what’s happening with Independents, that’s what, in hindsight, told the story leading up to the 2016 Presidential Election.
