Daily Caller: Polls Show Kamala’s Campaign Is Headed For Disaster, And The Media Knows It

Polls Show Kamala’s Campaign Is Headed For Disaster, And The Media Knows It

Trouble for Kamala?  The story reports:

“While most major polling still shows Vice President Kamala Harris up over former President Donald Trump nationally, she is floundering in critical spots; not only does she know it’s terrible, but so do her lapdogs in corporate media.

Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that journalists gave him a look inside Harris’ internal polling data that signals a disaster for her presidential campaign. 

“I’ve said, look, Kamala’s own internal polls are not very good right now,” Vance said. “And of course, lefties say, ‘Well, J.D. Vance is the VP candidate for Republicans. Nobody in Kamala Harris’ campaign is talking to him.’ That’s right, by the way, Kamala Harris’ campaign is not talking to me, but they are talking to journalists. And then those journalists want insight into what’s going on with the Republican ticket. They want to see our internal numbers.”  

“And look, the journalists are telling me that Kamala Harris doesn’t like her numbers. The journalists are telling me our campaign does like their numbers,” Vance continued. 

The Trump campaign has good reason to like its polling. Although the rosy-sheen corporate media portrays Harris’s supposedly good polling behind the curtain, Trump has an advantage going into November.

The latest Gallup poll shows that voters like Trump more than Harris.  

Nationally, 46% of U.S. adults gave Trump a favorable rating, while 44% gave Harris the same. Now, 2% isn’t that big of a deal as it is still within the margin of error. This election, however, will depend on which candidate can gain the most votes from Independents, and in that race, Trump is winning.  

Gallup’s polling found that more Independents rated Trump favorably than Harris. Trump’s polling shows a 44% approval rating among Independents, while only 35% said the same about Harris. Not only that, but fewer Independents gave him an unfavorable rating than her, with 53% disapproving of Trump and 60% of Harris.  

“Trump is currently viewed better than he was at a similar point in the 2020 and 2016 campaigns,” according to Gallup.

Emerson College Polling’s September data of the 2024 swing states found that Trump was winning in crucial states that could secure him the 270 electoral college votes needed to win back that White House. Trump is up over Harris in four states won by President Joe Biden in 2020, two points in Georgia and one point in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Wisconsin. The candidates are tied in Nevada, and Trump is down by 1 point in North Carolina and just 2 points in Michigan. 

“There has been marginal movement in the presidential election since the late August Emerson swing state polls before the presidential debate,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “In Arizona and North Carolina, Trump lost a point, and Harris gained a point. Trump’s support stayed the same in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Harris’s support decreased by a point in Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, and stayed the same in Wisconsin. In Georgia, Trump gained two points and Harris lost two.”  

Discounting Nevada altogether, if Trump wins Pennsylvania and loses North Carolina, as Emerson polling shows, this would give Trump 275 Electoral College votes, while Harris would have 257. It’s no wonder journalists are telling Vance that Harris is worried about her internal polling if it looks anything like what the public can access.

What should be even more problematic for Harris’s campaign is the Teamster’s Union internal polling releasedWednesday. For the time being, the Teamsters decided not to endorse either candidate for president in the 2024 election despite decades of consistently supporting the Democrat nominee. And that likely has to do with how their members viewed the candidates.  

According to its electronic member poll, almost 60% of its members said they support Trump for president, only 34% plan to vote for Harris and just over 6% said they were voting for a different candidate. These numbers stayed pretty much the same in its phone poll: Trump 58%, Harris 31%, and undecided/didn’t know 11%. 

“For the past year, the Teamsters Union has pledged to conduct the most inclusive, democratic, and transparent Presidential endorsement process in the history of our 121-year-old organization—and today we are delivering on that promise to our members,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said. “Our members are the union, and their voices and opinions must be at the forefront of everything the Teamsters do. Our final decision around a possible Presidential endorsement will not be made lightly, but you can be sure it will be driven directly by our diverse membership.” 

Americans are less than 50 days away from the November election. Trump is polling better than ever, even better than when he won in 2016. If Teamster’s polling is accurate, blue-collar workers are firmly behind him. Harris and Trump are in a two-way popular vote tie, according to the latest NYT/Sienna poll. Harris is down in critical swing states. Voters aren’t connecting with her message or understanding how she will fix or change the policies she endorsed as Biden’s vice president.

If you are Harris, you are running scared.”

Running scared from the beginning til the last vote is counted is a minimum requirement.
