Donald Trump pulls ahead of Kamala Harris in major poll — a sign her campaign is fizzling
Nypost ^ | 09/08/2024 | Ryan King

For the first time in weeks, former President Donald Trump pulled ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in one of the most-watched national polls — raising the prospect that her momentum has fizzled out just ahead of their debate.

Trump edged out Harris 48% to 47% among likely voters nationally, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.

Other polls have similarly begun to show the 45th president regaining ground against his rival now that the Democratic National Convention has wrapped up.

A trend we need to see increase.

By any measure, Trump and Vance are outworking Harris and Walz. They do interviews with any news outlet, more rallies, and seem to be all over social media.

Should never even be a question at all. We have lousy politicians because we have lousy voters. They absolutely hate Trump and most don’t even know why.

Yes, Trump and Vance are leaving nothing on the table, but are doing everything they can to earn every vote. Harris and Walz are basically phoning it in.

Now that we are past Labor Day marker, should the Trump campaign be countering the Harris Waltz ads on YouTube and X in larger fashion? I seem to see very frequent Harris Waltz ads there and hear them on free Spotify. Is this an issue or am I over analyzing this? Anecdotal but seems like 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 Harris or Harris supporting PAC ads for every Trump Vance ad in these platforms. Thoughts?

The far-lefties have put out the word, GET THE ILLEGAL ALIEN BANANA BOATER VOTERS READY. We’re gonna need ‘em. Don’t forget all of the America’s Got Song and Dancers entertainers that performed at the show in Chicongo!

In 2020, the Demonicrats by hook or crook got a befuddled dementia patient to be president.

In 2024, the Demonicrats are working to get a cackling village idiot to become president.

If they could, the Demonicrats would work to put a store mannequin in the White House.

Having weaponized the Executive Branch of the federal government, the Demonicrats have the DeepStaters to actually run the show.

The polls are lies. Harris is so unpopular she is an insult to unpopular people.

I agree. On Youtube I see mostly Kamala ads. I see more Trump ads on cable TV, which probably skews older consumers.

Let’s hope so. It’s sad that someone like Kalama Harris is even viewed a legitimate option for the presidency. In a sane society, Trump would be ahead 70-30.

The Clintoon “Night of Screams, Tantrums and Tears Revisited”. I hope O’Bama’s “17 ‘Intelligence’ Communities” make it through alright. Merry Garland has been a big failure for them.

I wonder if Hillary was that little bit ahead at about this time eight years ago and that was the same sort of thing with Biden in 2020 with this poll.

I've heard the expression in politics if you're explaining you're losing.

I disagree because I want to know the WHY.

I wish Trump and Vance would point by point briefly explain here's what price caps do, with examples. Here's what rental caps do, with examples. Here's what hyper government spending does to inflation, with examples. And tie it to very personal and relevant things that EVERYONE can relate to. And the fact that anyone would clap for what Heels Up is proposing is solid proof of how ignorant the masses are, as I was.

Perhaps I'm an outlier but I would LOVE to hear stuff like that because like most others in this country I was very ILL EDUCATED on economics, inflation, communism - all of it.

From what I’ve read the Rats have more money, so that could explain it.

I’ve seen the harris ads. Half of them are fluff introducing the public to middle-class harris and the other half are abortion scare porn.

The Trump ads are hard-hitting negative ads exposing her as a liar.

Harris never got a brag-gable convention bounce.

She bombed on the Bash softball interview.

Her numbers collapsed when news broke that her husband’s
first marriage bombed after he knocked up his kid’s nanny.

She did get a few bumps for bringing “joy” to voters.

Figure a 2 point tilt in the Electoral College AND up to 3 points poll bias on average. Therefore, we have reason to believe we will win even if we’re behind in the nationwide polling average by 5 points or less.

So, a mainstream media poll that shows us up 1 is very good news.

As we are now past Labor Day, things are getting real. I’ll offer ten things for your to-do list:

1. Make sure you’re registered to vote.
2. Consider voting early.
3. Check to see if your Trump-supporting friends and family are registered to vote.
4. Attend one or more Trump rallies and other Republican rallies.
5. Put a Trump bumper-sticker on your car, or wear a MAGA hat.
6. Put a Trump sign on your lawn.
7. Make one or more donations to Trump and other Republican candidates.
8. Tet involved in the Republican effort to get out the vote (GOTV).
9. Very strategic, if you’re thinking of moving from a non-battleground state to a battleground state, do so in time to vote.
10. Smile when you pass by other people, say a prayer, and wave the flag.

“They absolutely hate Trump and most don’t even know why.”

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

Liberals don’t contemplate, they just emote. Facts, logic and the lessons of history mean nothing to them. They are intensely tribal.
