Why Donald Trump Is Surging In The Polls

I'm a governor in a state that is purple -- it just is. I travel around the commonwealth consistently, listening to voters, and what I hear over and over again is a massive concern about the economic future and their ability to afford groceries, gas, tuition, and to buy a home or make rental payments. What I hear over and over again are major concerns about the millions of people that have come across the border and the hundreds of thousands of violent criminals that have crossed the border, just identified two weeks ago by senior ICE officials. What I also hear are major concerns about safety. These are the topics President Trump is talking about.

Trump wasn't surging this morning. He was complaining that he's four points behind Harris in Georgia.

If Trump loses, he's going to try and take a second bite the apple. Everyone knows this and most particularly you. You'll support his second coup attempt as you did his first.

@#1 ... Trump wasn't surging this morning. He was complaining that he's four points behind Harris in Georgia. ...

While I agree that fmr Pres Trump's movement in the polls is not a surge, I'd also say it does not look like a decline either.

Unfortunately true.

Harris is not focusing on key issues that are affecting Americans or Americans THINK affect them.

She should have stayed on the anti-corporate stuff like price gouging and be talking constantly about Trump keeping the border open by squashing the border bill.

But nope...

Then there's this...

The fact that even one person in this country is willing to vote for TFG is just sad.

This policy was going no where, it wouldn't affect anyone and would take years to settle the lawsuits.

She should have made Universal Healthcare a policy, that would garner debate.

Medicare for those that want it. Turn VA hospitals into community hospitals.

Open up the internships to allow more doctors.

This is one area that is greenfield for her, crime, border etc all have a history.

The only thing "surging" is the crap out of his diaper.

Along with the ---- out of your keyboard, dumbass.

Harris is going to take all the swing states plus about 4 red ones.

Dont listen to manipulated polling and the corporate horserace media.

The most asked question on election night will be " how did the polling and media get this so wrong?"

It's time to put Orange Grandpa in a home, or better yet, behind bars.

@#12 ... It's time to put Orange Grandpa in a home ...

I do not disagree.

But...

The GOP seems to want him in the Oval Office (and they may get their desire).

Anyone that believes that putting at 20% sales tax on everything is a good idea should have their head examined.

Typical prepubescent nonsense from a MAGA moron.

The King Pin poll conducted at my house has Harris winning in a landslide 3 votes for Harris and zero for Trump. The margin of error in my poll is zero. Though the 2 cats were going to sit it out were bribed with chicken squeezy to vote for Harris/walz.

Sad thing is my poll is more accurate than most polls currently out there.
