Recent polling data is providing a less-than-rosy picture for Vice President Kamala Harris, and it appears CNN’s Jim Acosta is feeling the weight of the bad news more than most. While there was a brief moment of hope with polls showing Harris making slight gains, anyone paying attention knows that these little bumps in support often evaporate faster than ice cream on a July afternoon. It’s hard to take a poll seriously when it involves a candidate who, let’s face it, may not be operating with a complete toolbox.
Voters are wising up and doing their homework, which is not something that can be said for the mainstream media. A recent example illustrates this perfectly: a Wisconsin voter demonstrated a surprising level of awareness, mentioning how Trump was the first to advocate for a ‘no tax on tips’ policy that Harris later attempted to adopt to curry favor in Nevada. This might explain her dramatic 11-point drop among Hispanic voters since August—a clear indication that her strategy isn’t paying off and is leaving even the liberal pundits scratching their heads in disbelief.
CNN REPORTER: This credible New York Times/Sienna poll — 45% of voters say Trump's policies would help people like them versus just 37% for Kamala. What do you say to that?
HARRIS INTERN: *refuses to answer question*

Acosta’s recent broadcast was nothing short of comedic. Forced to report on a New York Times poll revealing that Harris’s Latino support in Arizona has dwindled by 11 points just last month, the former White House correspondent clearly struggled to keep a straight face. The reaction from the left is predictable: they’re clinging to delusions that polls are skewed to favor the GOP, which is quite the ironic position given the Times’ traditional leanings. It’s a classic case of the left trying to frame reality in a way that fits their narrative, while ignoring the voters’ sentiment.
The defense from the left-centered establishment hinges on the notion that polls can’t be trusted because they predicted a Republican wave in 2022 that fizzled out. Sure, those critics make a fair point, but midterms and presidential elections are worlds apart. With Trump leading the pack in recent polls and boasting his highest numbers ever, especially in the Midwest, the landscape is shaping up to be a bumpy ride for the Democrats. Current analysis suggests that Harris’s situation resembles Biden’s precarious position back when he was forced to bow out of the race. Meanwhile, predictions indicate a potential era of disappointed Democrats come November, as voters across various demographics—Latinos, African Americans, and Jewish voters—may decide to sit this one out or abandon their party altogether.
The implications of these trends point to a darker future for the Democratic coalition once championed by Obama. The sad truth is that it seems to be lying dormant under the tandem of Biden and Harris. This isn’t merely speculation; the alarming data indicates a considerable disengagement from pivotal voting blocs that the Democrats once relied upon. With the upcoming elections poised to be about who can rally their base most effectively, it’s clear that Harris’s chances are dwindling fast, and the former vice president’s optimism may soon be nothing more than a fleeting memory.
