Harris Has Biggest Favorability Jump Since George W. Bush after 9/11

Sunday, September 22, 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris got some very welcome news on Sunday in the form of a new NBC News poll that found her leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. But perhaps the most significant finding in the survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from Sept. 13-17 is her massive increase in popularity since taking over for Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in July.

As NBC News' national political correspondent"and data geek"Steve Kornacki and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker explained on Sunday, that 16-point turnaround is the largest favorability increase for any politician NBC has measured since George W. Bush after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

And she didn't even have to lose the twin towers to get that bounce. How about that.

Thomas Miller is a widely respected data scientist from Northwestern University. Miller developed a model that uses data from political betting sites rather than polls.

Could there be a Kamala Harris landslide in November? The data scientist who correctly called the last election is betting yes

"Miller's view merits close attention for two basic reasons: First, it's based on numbers-crunching that's arguably a lot more scientific than the voter surveys almost always cited to chart the contest's trajectory, and second, he achieved pinpoint accuracy four years ago." - Fortune

"It's gone from a drastic landslide in Trump's direction to a drastic landslide for Harris," said Miller. He said it would now take an equally dramatic shift in Trump's favor for the ex-president to come back into contention. Miller said as things stood now it appeared as if Harris would win big on November 5. - Benzinga

MSGT says with tongue in cheek.

Harris is steadily gaining ground . . . which is better than Trump steadily losing ground.

However, we're still looking forward to that October Suprise Trump has up his sleeve. Why don't you clue us in as to what you think we can expect. One of Trump's dog whistles will do if you don't know the particulars.

Trump and his brownshirts desperately tried to steal democracy from us in 2020, who knows what they'll do in 2024. It's a disgrace to our country that he's not in prison for treason

Lewzer's buddy Little Rocket Man hasn't done anything unusually stupid for a while...

In 2020 Trump learn what didn't work. So he won't try that again.

But desperation is pulling his chain from a number of different directions, including Russia, so he'll have to come up with something that works . . . maybe even a double murder . . . to keep himself out of the jams he's in.

With enough money I guess he could find somebody to do anything.
