The latest from Vice President Kamala Harris a decline in the presidential vote It could be a change in strategy that could lead to defeat in the election, according to senior pollster Frank Luntz.
in one interview with CNN on WednesdayHe said that when Harris focused on why he should run for president, he improved in the polls.
“He had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,” he added. “And then when he became anti-Trump and focused on him and said ‘don’t vote for him, vote against him,’ that’s when everything froze.”
In fact, two major presidential polls Releases in recent days show Trump gaining a slight edge over Harris with less than two weeks to go until Election Day.
In one of them, has The Wall Street Journal‘s the poll gave Trump a 2% lead over Harris, up from Harris’ 2% lead in August. In the other, a survey Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business found that 44% of voters said they would trust Trump on the economy, while 43% said they would trust Harris, marking another reversal from their predecessor.
Meanwhile, a New York Times and Siena College a poll released Friday showed a 48%-48% tie, with Trump erasing Harris’ 2% lead. A CNN the poll on Friday had the candidates deadlocked 47%-47% after Harris earlier showed a 1% lead.
Luntz warned that changes to the Harris campaign could cost the White House as voters demand more details about him.
“The point is that Donald Trump is defined,” he explained. “He doesn’t win, he doesn’t lose. He is, and his vote is where it’s at. It’s not well-defined, and if he continues to define this race as an ‘anti-Trump vote,’ he’s going to stay where he is now and he could lose.”
In fact, it was the beginning of the Harris campaign marked “joy”. and optimism. But in recent weeks, he has stepped up his attacks on Trump, among others A potential threat to American democracyHe was the centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s campaign before he left.
And so have former Trump administration officials described him as a fascistwhich the Trump campaign denied, Harris has piled on as well
From Friday, Survey analysis of 538 Harris gave Trump a 53 out of 100 chance of winning the election. A week ago, Trump was at 52, and three weeks ago, Harris was leading with 58 out of 100 chances.
For his part, Luntz will not predict the elections he told NewsNation on Thursday Unaffiliated voters will likely decide the winner.
“I think at this point, in terms of engagement, Trump has the edge,” he said. “In terms of the potential vote ceiling, Harris has the advantage, which is why I stay away from any projections. I don’t know.”
