These pollsters were right in 2016 and 2020 — and they think Harris has already lost her mojo

NY Post ^ | 09/03/2024 | A.G. Gancarski
Most polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading in the swing states that will decide the election. But two Southern state pollsters are bucking the trend — and they’ve got former President Donald Trump up big. The polling by InsiderAdvantage and Trafalgar in seven battleground states finds Trump on a path to 296 electoral votes — suggesting that Harris has already lost her momentum. Matt Towery of Georgia-based InsiderAdvantage found Trump ahead in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina (and down by 0.4% only in Georgia). He noted that both he and Robert Calahy of Trafalgar (which handled Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and...

X ^ | Aug 31 | @BrendanCarrFCC
@BrendanCarrFCC On Brazilian Justice de Moreas's order shutting down X: The text of his 51-page decision is far more concerning and sweeping than the headlines suggest. de Moreas’s own words make clear that he is attempting to strike a broader blow against free speech and in favor of authoritarian controls. His opinion does not even try to hide it. He comes right out and points to Brexit and the 2016 election of President Trump as examples, in his telling, of the types of extreme “populist” outcomes that he is attempting to avoid by imposing a new censorship regime in Brazil...

Independent Political Report ^ | August 30, 2024 | Jordan Willow Evans
The Forward Party’s Christine Todd Whitman and former Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee William Weld are among a list of Republicans openly supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris later this year. Earlier this month, the Harris campaign announced “Republicans for Harris,” a list of over two dozen Republican Party officials helping with outreach efforts to GOP voters who remain critical of Republican nominee Donald Trump. Included on that list were Christine Todd Whitman, a former New Jersey governor who later helped create the Forward Party, and William Weld, a former Massachusetts governor who ran as Gary Johnson’s vice presidential nominee...

The television ratings of the first night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) sunk 22 percent from 2016, according to Nielsen. The ratings crash suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris is far less popular than the media purported. About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC, up from 2020’s virtual convention but severely down from 2016, Axios reported:
 

CNN’s Enten: Trump Still Leads if 2016, 2020 Polling Errors Factored In

Breitbart ^ | 08/14/2024 | Jeff Poor
Tuesday, during a segment on CNN, network data analyst Harry Enten downplayed the polling enthusiasm for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. According to Enten, if the margin of error from 2016 and 2020 is factored in for battleground states, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump still has an advantage. “Yes, right, exactly. I mean the thing that – we put out those poll numbers yesterday,” he said. “You know, The New York Times, Sienna College, we covered them. I showed you the Ipsos polling. All of which that showed Kamala Harris with clear momentum, enthusiasm potentially on her side. But I...

Factbox: Where the bookies and trading exchanges put Trump, Clinton odds A Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released on Friday put Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton just 5 percentage points above Republican rival Donald Trump ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election. But major bookmakers and online exchanges are much more confident about a Clinton victory. Here is where they put the probability as of Sunday of each candidate winning the election: PredictIt, an online trading platform jointly run by Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, and Washington, D.C.-based political consulting firm Aristotle International Inc: Clinton - 81 percent Trump - 20 percent...
 

Matt Orfalea @0rf | Number of people arrested for things they said on social media last year - In Russia: 400 - In Britain: 3300 (2016)

I haven't been following Britain well at all, and snooping around to try to catch up, I came across some arrest information from 2016 for content posted on Social media. If it was that bad in 2016, I can't imagine what social media policing is like there now. Many in Britain are posting massive protest videos on X.com. Are they going to be charged with 'inciting to riot'? Prayers up.Two clarifications:1. The "3,300" figure i(below) is likely a reference to a 2017 piece in The Times.More than 3,300 people were detained and questioned last year over so-called trolling on social...

Associated Press ^ | August 5, 2024 | Dan Merica
Jeremy Green Eche took a chance and purchased the website HarrisWalz.com for $8.99 in 2020 when then-Sen. Kamala Harris of California was seeking the Democratic nomination for president. “I just tried to grab her name and all the heartland governors I could think of,” he recalled Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. Four years later, if Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, Eche could be looking at a payday. He is willing to sell it — and a slate of over a dozen other Harris websites — for $15,000, he says. This is not...

Claim: Her political opponents are sharing a screenshot supposedly comparing two Associated Press headlines — one from 2016 and another from 2020. Associated Press headlines referred to Kamala Harris as Indian American in 2016 then Black in 2020. Rating: TRUE On July 24, 2024, an apparent screen capture of a post from former U.S. President Donald Trump circulated online showing two alleged Associated Press (AP) headlines, one from 2016 and the other from 2020. The two headlines centered on Vice President Kamala Harris. The first one said Harris was the first "Indian-American US senator" while the second said she was...

J. D. Vance voted for independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin in November 2016. He said this in 2021 in an interview with Time Magazine. McMullin was on the ballot in 2016 in Kentucky. In Ohio he was a declared write-in candidate and he was credited with 12,574 votes. It is not clear which state Vance lived in at the time. The mention of his 2016 vote is under “Vance’s Political Turn” in the first paragraph.

Former President Donald J. Trump’s penchant for fabrication and hyperbole has long been a core tenet of his bombastic persona and political messaging. Two campaigns, one term in the Oval Office and eight years later, Mr. Trump has loosened his grasp on the facts even more.A comparison of his addresses before the Republican National Convention in 2016 and 2024 demonstrates how his relationship to the truth has changed, offering a glimpse of how he will likely cast himself on the campaign trail as he seeks to reclaim the White House.In 2016, when he accepted the nomination after a bitter primary...

2016 Clinton campaign, PAC skirted federal financing rules, court finds

WJLA ABC News Washington D.C. ^ | July 10, 2024 | Ray Lewis
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign stretched federal financing rules, a Washington, D.C. appeals court ruled Tuesday. The campaign spent nearly $6 million to conduct polls, fact-check claims and set up media interviews with the “Correct the Record” political action committee (PAC), according to the court. Neither group reported the spending as campaign contributions due to a loophole in the Federal Election Campaign Act, the ruling determined. The law requires campaigns to disclose money they spent when promoting their candidates. Since blog or social media posts are sometimes published for small amounts, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) created an “internet exception”...

Washington Examiner ^ | 7/9/2024 | Paul Bedard
A federal appeals court today said Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and a liberal super PAC crossed federal election lines when they flaunted their coordination in a multimillion-dollar effort to defend the Democrat in her losing bid against Donald Trump. In the landmark decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Clinton and the super PAC Correct the Record improperly used an “internet exemption” to sidestep other restrictions to set up a “Benghazi Hearing War Room” and conduct a witch hunt of critics without reporting it as a campaign expense. Neither Clinton nor Correct the Record...

Just before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in their second presidential debate, then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper met in the White House with a small group of advisers to President Obama to hatch a plan to put out a first-of-its-kind intelligence report warning the voting public that "the Russian government" was interfering in the election by allegedly breaching the Clinton campaign’s email system. On Oct. 7, 2016 – just two days before the presidential debate between Trump and Clinton – Clapper issued the unprecedented intelligence advisory with Obama’s personal blessing. It seemed to lend credence to what the...

The alleged story goes something like this: Elton John‘s partner and now-husband of 23 years, Canadian David Furnish, has been having a longtime affair with British businessman Daniel Laurence. According to multiple salacious reports from sources like the tabloid National Enquirer, Furnish had unprotected sex on numerous occasions with Laurence, and Furnish joined Laurence and his husband Pieter Van den Bergh for a Dec. 2011 threesome in a kiddie pool... Unfortunately for British media, which could very easily seize on this story and blow it up on an immense scale, a controversial injunction in the U.K., brought by John himself,...

As leftist prosecutors bring charges against individuals involved in alleged alternate electors in the 2020 election, a resurfaced video of Hollywood actors reveals a striking hypocrisy. The video, dating back to 2016, showed the actors pleading with the Electoral College to overturn Donald Trump’s victory against Hillary Clinton.
