Internal Polling
Link to quote: Harris campaign shifts strategy as anxiety rises over Trump gains | Reuters
National polling shows Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a very tight race, but that is not the way the Harris campaign is acting. Kamala Harris is out doing things she would never do if her campaign had any confidence in wining. Reports on early voting indicate that Republicans are finally taking advantage of banking their votes. There is also another indicator that internal polls are showing the Harris campaign in trouble:
"Ads have been released that show four Democratic Senate candidates in battleground states either working with former President Donald Trump or agreeing with his messaging as the November election is less than a month away.
Campaign ads for Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin focus on the Democratic candidates' alliance with Trump or his policies, implying that aligning with the former president may benefit their campaigns more than siding with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris."
Democrats in tight Senate races run ads touting their work with Trump | Just The News
That poses the question of how wildly different the internal campaign polling must be from the polling that the American people are looking at.
Yesterday Kamala Harris basically took a day off from campaigning as Barack Obama and Tim Walz campaigned for her in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Meanwhile Joe Biden made what might be called a Freudian slip by saying that former President Trump should be locked up. He quickly walked it back. He need not worry about our dishonest media taking his comments out of context the way they have consistently done to Trump. There are some on the left who don't want to acknowledge that. Others tell us that lawfare against a Presidential candidate during an election is ok. They even have the tenacity to call the rest of us "partisan. "
In the news:
The Israeli military said it had killed Hezbollah's likely new leader in an airstrike earlier this month. Hamas’s military ranks are depleted, and its leaders are dead. Meanwhile Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during his 11th trip to Israel since the war began, urged the government there to end the war in Gaza.
U.S. prosecutors charged a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards with trying to assassinate a human rights activist in Brooklyn.
A Fulton County judge said she is siding with attorney Ashleigh Merchant in the lawyer's lawsuit against the Fulton County DA's office over records requests. While she did not make an official ruling yet, the judge said that she found that the DA's office did not engage in a good-faith effort to fulfill the requests.
The C.D.C. linked an E. coli outbreak to McDonalds quarter pounder hamburgers. One person has died, and 49 people have gotten sick.
“We got to lock him up,” President Biden said of Trump, before quickly backtracking and saying he meant "politically lock him up."
Bill Gates, who usually avoids politics, gave about $50 million to a Harris affiliated group. Kamala Harris has raised a $ billion war chest and is outspending the Trump campaign 3-1.
Despite the lies we hear; CBS still refuses to turn over the complete transcript of its 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Former President Donald Trump threatened to sue CBS News on Monday in a letter to the network demanding the release of a full, unedited transcript of Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent interview with “60 Minutes.”

Good morning.
In Boston a bridge is about to be named after the man who led the Boston Celtics to 11 NBA titles.
Obama: "I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter."
Question of the day: Who was responsible for that?
Trump
Obama, Hillary, Biden …..
That was the ‘guns and religion’ city slicker.
The old Obama coalition: Everyone but White men!
The same guy that signed executive order 13583, which mandated DEI across all federal departments
Can’t have DEI, since it scares the shit out of the right.
DEI is racism so it should scare everyone who isn't a racist, Skin color, gender and how you identify is NOT a qualification, We should all be afraid that democrats want to put incompetent pieces of shit in positions of power based on this bullshit.
I see that you’re still stuck in the past, George. [deleted][✘]
Which is exactly why we have this empty-headed radical leftist twat as a candidate for president.
Biden made clear she was selected for VP because of her gender and race. She hasn't earned the right to be president. She was foisted onto the electorate by a small group of elitest progressive power brokers. Ordinary people have had no say so. If she wasn't good enough in 2020, she's not good enough now.
“.:.Skin color, gender and how you identify is NOT a qualification…”
And conversely, it should NOT be a disqualification. One party is actively seeking legislation across state and federal lines to ensure it remains a barrier, while the other is seeking to prevent such measures. Until we can find even a modicum of compromise, it will remain just another issue to divide us.
We forget the individual in our rush to judgment in lumping entire communities as a perceived threat. The real threat is in accepting, advocating for and implementing such discriminatory policy.
Please show us the legislation that has been introduced to prevent people from getting jobs based on DEI criteria. i.e. No Black chief of staffs. Post the legislation.
Who is stupid enough to think this jackass was hired based solely on Merit?
81 million people voted for her to be Biden's life insurance policy.
99% of 4,000 delegates voted for her in the DNC, very similar to what happened to Trump at the RNC and you apparently accept that?
Better than the incompetent pieces of shit white men that got their jobs based on cronyism, partisanship and political favors for 200 years plus?
Why do you think incompetent minority pieces of shit are better?

Let's just bask in that. Imagine equating the two processes.
“An empty headed twat,” I can see that you majored in English at Trump U.
The man you hold up as your hero, Reagan would never stoop to that level profanity, if nothing else he was a gentleman, it would be to your advantage to read his bio.
Your description works well with Trump and the MAGAs especially the ones wearing the t shirts that states “ grab my pussy” all class all the way.
after your written display of MAGA English it’s time to change your avatar.
Jesus....people like Greg get all bent out of shape when you say that about Melania Trump.
Could Trump become the RNC choice without a delegate vote affirming him as the choice?
Do you really want to double down on pretending the Harris nomination process was the same as Trumps?
I guess he doesn't get that it is the citizen's choice through the primary voting process. They installed her as there wasn't time to do anything else and it is not a very democratic way to operate......................
Your vote is pretty much meaningless in the election because of the Electoral College.
Why do you think the primary process is any different?
Conventions can be and have been challenged and have replaced the candidate with the most primary votes.
The rules say the convention voting determines the candidate.
Agreed. Now what? Are you going to even hint that you would be voting for a Democrat if he or she had completed the process? You are certainly not a Biden supporter.
The GOP is silent on the issue because they know how it works and probably wishes it were otherwise
but they cannot stop it or challenge it. Who's in charge of the RNC Laura Trump, where the hell has she been?
“The rules say the convention determines the candidate.”
This cannot be said often enough.
It has been a long enduring and sometimes frustrating process, but an institutional cornerstone.
about a quarter of GOP candidates this year think Harris being selected outside the primary process constitutes election interference.
There is a level where it is fruitless to talk to these people.
1859 ...
Do you think the nomination process for Harris and Trump were the same?
Still whining about this? This is the best Trump supporters can do to attack Harris? Is this stronger or weaker than whining about her McDonald's work experience?
The volume and severity of negatives attached to Trump is overwhelming ... more than any major party candidate in my lifetime (possibly in our history).
On the flipside, Harris is a well qualified, normal, youthful, positive, responsible, grounded D candidate. She is liberal, but that is basically what one will get with a D. Other than the fact that she will lean left, why would anyone choose the traitor Trump over Harris?
I dont think there is any reasonable doubt about that left
Every Time: From Bob Woodward
In Private: They all knew.
In Public: Biden is sharp as tack, running circles around his staff, unedited videos are conspiracy theories, don't believe your senses, he's perfectly fine. Attack Robert Hur for reporting the obvious etc..
The conspiracy to hide his health from the public before an election, one of the greatest conspiracies in American history, blows up in June.
Immediately after the conspiracy is exposed: Who cares? Move on!!
Every time.
More whining.
Harris is the nominee. Get over it.
do you think the nomination rules and process for both parties is the same?
too bad the GOP didn't have a protocol for replacing a candidate that stepped aside for the good of the country, huh?
It's so predictable.
Every time Democrats get caught lying, cheating and gaslighting the public, they immediately declare that it's "whining" to criticize their incredible dishonesty.
It's why Harris is having such a hard time getting people with integrity to support her.
Well, she does have Lizzo's support
The Intenational Fashion Model
Such bullshit.
In this race we have a vindictive narcissist traitor vs. a normal D candidate.
Trump supporters have to reach deep into bullshit tactics and still wind up defending a scoundrel with embarrassingly feeble arguments and claims.
Every time. She lies to the American people to cover up the fact the President isn't competent for office..
She's so normal! What's a conspiracy to operate the government outside of the Constitution???
Sure she spreads ridiculous lies about Michael Brown being murdered to stir up racial animosity that she thinks she'll benefit from. normal!
It'd be funny to see if it weren't so sad.
You can keep piling on with the chickenshit, the exaggerations and the lies but there is no possibly way to spin Harris to be equivalent to the abysmal character and level of wrongdoing by Trump.
Why do you defend this vindictive narcissist traitor?
The hysterics coming from the left is almost as if it is finger nails scraping across the chalk board. They know she is in deep shit and a probable low chance of winning the presidency.
Most leftists can't stand the thought of another Trump presidency.
Maybe they will just move to a different country as so many of them have threatened to do in the past.
My message......please do.
You can see the graph of race relations, steadily increasing than the crash began in 2014 as obama and the left embraced racial balkanization and pushed the Michael brown “hands up don’t shoot” conspiracy theory.
Still believed by the woke fools.
Being woke is so much better than being a comatose MAGA.
the only good maga ...

ROFL. Your candidate was king birther in 2011, which was a thoroughly racist belief system.
Facts are facts...Things were going pretty well until Obama's second term, and the left wing dove head first into racialism.
Yes, the trend line is clear. Obama and the Democrats became the racialist party in the middle of the last decade and the results have been an ongoing absolute disaster for the country. Look at where they were pre-Ferguson. but that was when democrats hadn't been captured by BLM and racial hucksterism.
Ferguson was the result of pent up frustration over how minorities are treated by police. Ferguson provided visibility to the issue.
To use your starting point for this "disaster" we can say it happened when blacks and other minority groups became more activist. The issues were always there, they were just more under the surface.
Obama was far more the victim of racial prejudice than the perpetrator of it.
So minorities were too dumb to realize how oppressed they were and it took a fake story for them to understand they were actually oppressed?
Do you think the racial balkanization strategy adopted by the left has been good or bad for the country?
Do you think whites are the real victims of racism?
Depends on the situation...................
Reverse racism is real, so yes, they have been victims at times.
There are many instances of some blacks calling for the cancellation of whites. That is racist and should be regarded as such, no matter the color.
Way to avoid the question.
But whites can be the victims of racism. Do you think they can't be?
There is such a thing as anti-white racism. It is a fraction of anti black, anti-hispanic and anti Native American racism.
I'm white and I never think about anti-white racism. Why are you?
So a little racism is okay? how much? or should the goal be zero tolerance?
why are you talking me ? talk to the racists.
I am not racist against white people, nor are they the "real" victims. It is ridiculous.
Really? Does the government discriminate against blacks, hispanics or Native Americans? Do Fortune 500 companies?
I never think about anti-white racism. Why are you?
You brought it up.
What does that even mean?
“But whites can be the victims of racism.”
Of course we can, only confirming that it is inherent in our human nature, for a myriad of reasons.
How we confront it, how we communicate its detrimental effects, and how willing we are to coalesce in making it a relic of the past will determine if we move forward or if it remains forever a detrimental wedge.
Hope lies in our young, as we have collectively demonstrated neither the will nor the need to change our behavior. Hope also lies in leadership, those brave souls willing to address the challenges without judgment, without rancor, and without fear of political retribution. Teachers, business administrators, and (gasp) elected officials must put aside the fears and focus on the possibilities.
Hope I live long enough to witness our betterment. Peace!
racialism?
lol

You have seeded several articles about anti racism.
Yes, you think about it.
I don’t know if Harris would actually lose if the election were tomorrow, but her campaign is acting like they would , that’s for sure.
The cnn expert Laying it out how trump is doing much better with independents than he did in 2020 when he barely lost probably explains that.
Remember: voters are more likely to see Harris 2024 as too liberal vs. Biden 2020.
No doubt.
Harris was +7 and now is +1.7 is that the Kalamentum we have been hearing about?
Was she really ever at +7?
As somebody famous once said of her:
Like you, that was an outlier.
What a difference 4 years makes …..
Absolutely
I think she pretty much has thrown in the towel. Her internal polling shows she has no path to victory.
like the former 'president' traitor said, make sure you vote on January 5th.
lol
You put a "news of the day" recap and you dont mention John Kelly. Why is that?
Donald Trump told Kelly he had never heard of Gen. Erwin Rommel. Anyone who has ever watched a movie about the war in Europe knows who Rommel was.
Kelly in is own voice confirmed that Trump had called American war dead "suckers and losers" and there is no longer any doubt that it happened.
And you think the transcript of the 60 minutes Kamala Harris interview is more newsworthy? What is wrong here?
Absolutely.
CBS resistance indicates that they helped Harris considerably.
Or need we wait for the facts to come in?
CBS has embarrassed itself:
They *led* the CBS evening news with an anonymously-sourced report that’s now been denied (on-the-record) by people in the room & rejected the family of the victim. Led with it.
Should someone who says that dead American soldiers were suckers and losers be president of the United States?
Should someone who doesnt want to be seen with people who are amputees because of war injuries be president?
Should someone who is described as a fascist by his own top white house aide be president?
Hitler's generals were in many respects terrified of him, and carried out war crimes at Hitlers request. Trump wants generals like Hitlers generals. This person should be president of the United States ?
And all this he only said to Kelly in private?
These are the times when the left says every outrageous thing they can about Trump. He is very likely to win this election.
As for Kelly: Another lying sack of shit clown who hates Trump for firing him.
Some Trump haters are easily bamboozled by fake news.
Lol. That old story. Goldberg first tried it in 2020. When everyone denied it, he promised he'd bring forward evidence to prove it.
He never did.
Now it gets resurrected in time for another election. Anderson Cooper said Kelly confirmed it a few weeks ago. So you are literally re rerunning accusations you tried to refresh three weeks ago. Is there enough time to break this story, again, before the election?
Goldberg is dishonest as his reporting of the Guillen family demonstrates. It's impossible to take his anonymously sourced stories on their face.
When it comes to lying sack of shit clowns, Trump leads the way, MAGA’s must be deaf, dumb and blind to not see it.
maga likes criminals and criminal behavior. they also embrace revenge and retribution. I'm going to have fun ...
Never Trumpers are criminals, bums and reprobates. I’ll enjoy watching them go down.
“Never Thumpers are criminals, bums and reprobates.”
As a ‘never trumper’ and being neither a criminal or bum, but being informed and involved, may have to take exception to this improbable notion.
As to being a ‘reprobate’, compelling evidence aplenty. Cool you referencing your pocket Roget’s though…beats the normal pocket pool, no?
If you ask any sane person who is believable , a four start marine general or a pathological liar who tells a dozen provable lies in public every day, but we all know the answer to that. Magas live in their own rat turd universe.
It's required to have a criminal record in trump's world, at least those that couldn't bribe their way out of it
their whole lives are hate
The story from yesterday is the msm pushing a debunked story about trump supposedly insulting a murdered Mexican American soldier to try and save Harris. Another bad look that makes their anonymous reporting impossible to credit.
LOL. Keep spinning.
it's a deflection to cover the barrage of unamerican and unconstitutional bullshit flying from trump's mouth daily.
But you don't know that. It is only Kelly's disgruntled word.
CBS, we know edited an interview and refuses to release the transcript.
he had his chance, but the orange menace cancelled his 60 minutes interview with a lame excuse to cover for his cowardice.
It's just more left wing lies.
Except it matches other disparaging statements that Trump has made against servicemen.
CBS is continuing to refuse to release the transcript of the Harris interview despite the editing of her answers. CBS only wants the public to see the sanitized or edited portions and by doing so CBS became the story.
You have no response?
Really, Kelly is just disgruntled? Based on what?
To trumpsters, everyone who disagrees with trump is disgruntled. Dozens of people who worked in the Trump administration, some of them in the highest positions, have said Trump is unfit for office. Are dozens of people merely disgruntled? It is far beyond absurd, it is tremendously offensive.
In 2018 President Trump fired him and made the announcement on Twitter. It has been a war of words ever since. With only two weeks to go and Kamala losing, this was expected from the dirty dems. As a matter of fact, I expect worse slander to follow.
why did trump "fire" Kelly? Do you know?
He never explained it. I'm sure you have an opinion.
I know what was reported at the time.
Trump was frustrated because Kelly kept telling Trump he didnt have the authority to do many things that he wanted to do.
Gee, I bet some of the things Trump wanted to do form the basis of why Kelly thinks Trump is a fascist.
Trump followers enjoy being bamboozled. Just keep your servitude to him to yourselves and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
That doesn't just involve the Trump Presidency. Presidents often discover that the role involves navigating a web of checks and balances and political opposition and Trump faced a mountain of political opposition. I doubt that is the reason Trump fired him.
'why did trump "fire" Kelly? Do you know?'
because he told trump 'you can't do that'
'I want what I want' 'That's not fair'
It's not slander when it's true
In his NYT interview Kelly says that Trump became upset when he was told, by Kelly and others, that he did not have the authority to do things he wanted to do.
Trump fired Kelly because Kelly was telling him unwelcome truths.
You mean the one you didn't link and expect everybody to take you at your word?
just what exactly is maga alleging that is missing from her 60 minutes interview? the orange coward had an equal chance on CBS, but balked when he found out he would be fact checked, and ran when he was called on his lame apology excuse. you can respond to those facts.
look up NYT interview with John Kelly and leave me alone before I get suspended for what I would say to you
Or you link it to back up your claims.
Not my problem.
Respond to real facts, naw that will never happen, [Deleted.][✘]
What facts?
Thanks for proving my point, Greg.
Yes,
You can add "transcript derangement syndrome" To the TDS definitions.
Why mention the insignificant?
Oh, that's why. You don't believe anything Trump says but believe nonsense like this.
I hope it was his own voice. He would sound kind of funny doing a Stallone impersonation.
You didnt send us your best.
Opinions will vary.
[deleted][✘]
and alternate facts and reality........
They will? Oh my, may the saints preserve us from triteness of stale observations ...
That whole thing is falling apart. Sadly the left doesn't understand it.
They've been trying since 2015 and have failed at every attempt.
Nobody has been tested like Donald Trump.
That is why so many men like him.
'tested'
OMG
“That is why so many men like him.”
You forgot to annotate ‘men’ in your thoughts here, for real men are neither threatened nor harassed by those who would have them become mere lapdogs.
They rather are educated in the events of the day, apply that understanding to do what is best for their loved ones, and dismiss any criticism coming their way for speaking, standing, and not succumbing to the illusion they are weak in their convictions.
Let us all be real men.
and failed
F-
Tested for syphilis.
... especially men without the ability to think for themselves.
miserably, like every other 'venture'
“tested” Wow, now that is funny, if he is being tested then it by all the shit he brought on himself and the funny thing is, he keeps doing it.
Wonder how bad the riots are going to be when Trump wins and the Republicans flip the Senate.
Maybe as bad as in 2016. Those are the enemies within.
I wonder how many maga will respond when trump claims the election was rigged and calls on them to save the country.
When they riot in DC again, I only wish to be the one in charge of restoring order.
You? Where were you on 1/6 I wonder.....
[deleted][✘]
You mean when they were having a mostly peaceful demonstration?
Is that like a mostly peaceful armed robbery? right up to the minute the gun is fired?
C'mon man!
I am going with CNN's definition ( without the buildings burning)
Different dates, different protests, different reasons and different locations.
Mocking CNN isn't the first thing that comes to mind about using "that definition".
I'm seeing Minneapolis 2020 riots over a drug overdose. Maybe Harris can set up that bail fund she wanted to do during those riots.
Kamala is getting a bit of rest after her fake Town Hall.
Her campaign is concerned.
It must be hard to remember the script day after day.
lol - you mean the former 'president's' fake town hall? I heard he's exhausted. Spewing constant hate and lies does that to a person.
Just come across an article that described Harris perfectly:
Yes, very well said.
Smart campaigns are always concerned, complacency is a losing attitude ... you've been around long enough to know this.
Nothing about Harris is smart, including her clueless campaign
Four years ago they hated her, now they love her. Such defines the dimbulb Democrat party
Lol, who “hated” her? I don’t remember the hate being used in reference to Harris from anyone but Republicans. Just because she wasn’t first choice in a field of many doesn’t mean constituents hated her. She wasn’t my first choice, but I’ve never hated her or known any other Democrat to say that. It’s pretty clear where the “dimbulb” is here.
I guess you have not been around long enough.
lol is right as how quick the dim forget ….. how about every liberal who didn’t vote for her in the one primary she actually ran in. They disliked her so much she couldn’t even make it to her own state.
Only way she got in this time was by decree of a few liberal elite but certainly not from votes of the liberal constituents drooling all over her today. 2020 was a better year for democracy. The people spoke. 2024 is a sad year for democracy. The elite decreed.
Very sad indeed.
How many times will the republican is a Nazi card be played before even progressives can see through it? .
Bush, Cheney, Romney, McCain, Ryan and even Nikki Haley have been slurred as Nazis before Trump. No doubt, the next nominee will be too.
I get teenagers falling for it, they don't have the experience of living through elections. But for any adult to buy in at this point is just embarrassing for them. It's the same, tired old play from the same playbook year after year.
Lol. How quickly some progressives forget.
Is that the secret to the eternal Nazi card? Progressives just don't remember yesterday?
I guess this is why CNN can claim this woman is an "undecided voter"
She's a registered Democrat, poli sci professor at Swarthmore. The odds of her being undecided are higher than RFK JR. winning the election.
CNN doesn't even have to bother trying anymore. They know the goldfish will swallow whatever they are fed.
I see even Eisenhower was called a Nazi by Democrats.
And we keep going back in time to find a Republican nominee not called a Nazi..
This playbook is ancient.
Trump leads Harris 47% to 45%, WSJ poll finds
I guess that explains the increasingly hysterical nature of the attacks.
If everybody in America watched harris's townhall, Trump might win by 20.
Her only saving grace is that she gave so many flat out ridiculous answers they may prevent people from focusing on any one.
the psychotic Tucker Carlson goes off on an unhinged rant , at a Trump rally in Georgia, about the necessity for fathers to spank their teenage daughters, and when I say rant I am not exaggerating.
Carlson will be up for many prominent posts in a new Trump administration.
