It Looks Like the DNC Is Backfiring on Kamala Harris
PJ Media ^ | 08/21/2024 | Matt Margolis

When Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, it undoubtedly caused a jolt of enthusiasm for her party, which had been looking at a landslide defeat with Joe Biden on top of the ticket. She took the lead in the polls as well as in the political markets.

Harris had as much as a seven-point lead in Polymarket in the days leading up to the Democratic National Convention. Between the wall-to-wall glowing coverage from the media and the convention coverage, Harris would maintain that lead, if not expand on it.

However, the lead she had before the convention is gone. It's not only been wiped up, but as of the morning of the third day of the convention, Donald Trump has also regained the lead. By the second day of the convention, Trump had a one-point lead. As of this writing, he has taken a five-point Polymarket lead over Harris.

Harris had a 7-point lead in @Polymarket last week.

Rich Baris, the director of Big Data Poll, found this to be an extraordinary shift, considering the timing.

Why are Donald Trump's odds of winning the presidential election getting better during the DNC?

That's so weird.— Rich Baris The People's Pundit (@Peoples_Pundit) August 20, 2024

It is an absolutely fair question to ask why this is happening during the week of Kamala's convention. A big part of it is that last week, Kamala unveiled her key economic agenda, and it was nothing short of a disaster, drawing criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.

Yes that’s true. She was at a campaign rally in Milwaukee, she wasn’t at her own convention last night. I know, really strange.

Should Trump go easy on her in the Sept. debate and hit hard in October? When is its too late for the next switcheroo?

Why would anyone believe the polls? They said Hillary had a 95% chance of winning the 2016 election.

hmmm, so this might be the worst Dem convention since the John Kerry one then? I’m not watching, but it still has more to go.

Malaka peaked too soon. The worst time to peak is before you’re known to the public.

I believe that the partisan press did their part for Hillary, but even the Deep State didn’t want her. Everyone knew she was going to push the button.

Even assuming those are dream numbers and an opening for negotiation, that’s depression territory taxation. I would never buy another piece of investment real estate.

Though my scheme of buying a rental home, seasoning it, converting it to my principal residence, then selling at a non-taxed profit and repeating the process would still be in play. Done it twice, it’s golden.

“...she wasn’t at her own convention last night. I know, really strange.”

Somebody realized looks pitiful trying to hang with the big dogs. She doesn’t have the ‘presence’ to pull it off.

The Dem rank and file still with the Obama. No one really ‘likes’ Hilary, Biden or Harris. Throw in John Kerry before them. Bill Clinton of course, also beloved, but he’s so old now, its not the same energy Obama can still give.

When Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party

DemoCRAT party, not "democratic". There's nothing remotely democratic about these totalitarian marxists.

This is really interesting. Not sure how to interpret it. Yahoo/Coindesk have this article as well.
