The Presidential Election is now a less than 60-day sprint to the finish line.

Democrats and the media thought Kamala Harris had it made.

And Kamala Harris broke out into a sweat when she saw what the polls really showed.

The media’s misleading framing of the race

Dan Pfeiffer worked on former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign, in the Obama White House as Communications Director and now is one of the co-hosts of the – influential on the Left – podcast Pod Save America.

If anyone has access to the best internal polling data inside the Democrat Party it’s Pfeiffer.

And he said the media and broader Democrat Party are getting high off their own supply in terms of Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances of victory, which he pegs around 50/50.

Pfeiffer went so far as to say that if the election were held today Trump may very well win.

“If you polled the press corps and most Democrats who are not working for the Harris-Walz campaign, 85 percent would say that Kamala Harris would win if the election were held today. If you ask the people who are actually deep in the numbers and paying really close attention to what’s happening in the battleground states, it’s closer to 50-50. And I think it’s very possible that if the election were held today, Trump would win,” Pfeiffer told Puck News.

What the battleground polls actually show

Pfeiffer told Puck News that battleground polls actually show every state a one or two-point race either way at best or tied.

Kamala hasn’t caught fire with the broader electorate.

She consolidated the Democrat Party base but she’s polling worse than Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden did in 2016 and 2020.

And Pfeiffer said could come back to haunt Kamala in Pennsylvania, the state Pfeiffer believes both candidates must win.

“Dramatically. When you dig into the battleground state poll numbers, they’re all toss-ups, every single one of them. There’s not a single battleground state poll where one of the candidates is up or down by more than two points, and most of them are tied, or at one point. And when you start doing the math of what happens if one of the candidates does not win Pennsylvania, it all gets very complicated, very quickly,” Pfeiffer added.

Kamala Harris is the incumbent Vice President who owns the record for the last four years.

And because of her failures on crime, the border, inflation, and foreign policy, she isn’t hitting the numbers Democrats need to in Pennsylvania, a state Biden only carried by about 80,000 votes in the 2020 Election.

That has Pfeiffer worried.

“Harris is still struggling to reach Biden’s 2020 numbers with Black voters, both in terms of support and turnout—in Philly, in particular. Is Harris going to bleed some non-college-educated white voters, and can she make that up with non-college-educated white women because of abortion? This is the problem with these races. There’s no one simple thing you need: You need a little bit from every single pot, and all the pots are in Pennsylvania,” Pfeiffer added.

Pfeiffer pulled back the curtain and everyone knows that the Democrats’ own polls don’t look as great as the public polls that showed Kamala Harris in the lead.
