Vice President Kamala Harris was supposed to “shake up” the election. Democrats didn’t see this on the horizon.
As Kamala Harris just fell flat on her face and now Democrats have gone into panic mode.
Most people who knew that Joe Biden was not going to be making it to the general election season did not think the Democrats would pivot so quickly to Kamala Harris. The reason is that everyone knows she is already in over her head as the Vice President of the United States. She didn’t even complete a term in the U.S. Senate and she’s also one of the most disliked Vice Presidents of all time.
The reality is that she has a ton of baggage coming with her, but the Democrats shut down any and all possible alternatives to her to be the Democrat nominee for President to take up the mantle for Joe Biden.
Since then, the Democrat-friendly media (some would say ‘controlled’, wink wink) has been proclaiming that Kamala Harris has staged one of the most incredible turnarounds for her political career. Incredible is definitely a good word because the corporate media “experts” have been saying that Kamala Harris’s favorability has completely flipped. She’s no longer one of the most unpopular Vice Presidents, according to these corporate media talking heads.
Not so fast, says an independent political pollster, who says that Kamala Harris has absolutely fallen flat on her face. According to this pollster, Kamala Harris is on the decline, not the incline like CNN and MSNBC are saying.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s Rebranding Efforts Fall Short, According to Pollster
Pollster Matt Towery’s recent appearance on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle shed light on Vice President Kamala Harris’s struggling efforts to rebrand herself in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. Towery’s analysis, based on recent polling data, suggests that Harris’ attempts to shift her image have not gained traction with voters.
A New York Times poll revealed that 47% of voters view Harris as too liberal, while only 32% consider former President Donald Trump too conservative. This disparity in perception has contributed to Trump’s resurgence in battleground state polls, according to Towery.
“It’s not working. What’s interesting is the battleground polls that I do are showing the same thing you’re seeing in this New York Times poll, and that is the numbers that Trump had when Biden was in the race are beginning to come back to Trump at about the same levels as before Harris became the nominee or the designated nominee,” Towery explained.
Trump’s Momentum Continues To Shock
Despite expectations of a potential bounce in support for Harris following President Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July 2024, recent polls indicate a reversal of fortune. Towery noted that Trump’s polling numbers are returning to levels seen when he was competing against Biden.
“So you’re seeing a complete return to where Trump was before, whatever bounce was there is disappearing. Now, I don’t know what kind of nonsense we’ll hear tomorrow night out of the media, because regardless of how well Trump does, they’re going to pretend like that she won this and maybe they’ll get a bounce out of that,” Towery added.
The pollster emphasized the significance of battleground states in the upcoming election. According to Towery, Trump’s current standing in these crucial states mirrors his position during the 2020 race against Biden.
“Donald Trump has come on the upswing, she’s on the downswing, and Nate Silver is right. He would carry those battleground states right now as they’re correlated to where they were back in the Biden 2020 race against Trump,” Towery stated.
A recent New York Times and Siena College poll conducted between September 3 and 6 shows a tight race between Trump and Harris. The survey places Trump at 48%, with Harris trailing by just one point at 47%.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, these polling trends suggest that Vice President Harris faces an uphill battle in her efforts to rebrand herself and gain a decisive edge over her Republican opponent.
