A private poll of this battleground state just set off massive alarm bells for Democrats
The public polls tell one story.
But Democrats know better.
And a private poll of this battleground state just set off massive alarm bells for Democrats.
Kamala Harris campaign in panic mode
The media continues to warn Democrats that the signs aren’t looking good for Vice President Kamala Harris.
CNN’s Dana Bash reported that her handlers organized a series of interviews because the debates and TV ads “didn’t move the needle” in their polls.
“They’re not moving the needle. This is not me saying this, this is the Harris people privately saying ‘We need to move the needle, it’s not moving’,” Bash stated.
Kamala’s handlers wouldn’t worry about moving the needle if they were ahead.
Campaigns change their strategy because they are behind.
That’s what journalist Mark Halperin reported a “not an insignificant number” of Republicans believe.
Halperin claimed that these Republicans believe numbers they’ve seen on absentee voting requests and voter registration numbers show former President Donald Trump on pace to win Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania – enough states to give him 270 Electoral College votes.
“There are not an insignificant number of Republicans who say the race is effectively over,” Halperin stated on his 2Way platform. “That, as I reported a month ago, Trump is going to lock up the Sunbelt states, probably all four, but at least three. And then he’s going to win Pennsylvania, and that checkmates her. They may be wrong. But there’s a not insignificant number of them who are quite confident of that. And the data they’ve seen on the absentees and the early votes and the voter registration makes them more confident.”
In Pennsylvania, on October 8, GOP absentee ballot requests exceeded Democrat requests for the first time this cycle.
That is a massive development that had many Republicans feeling bullish about Trump’s chances in the state.

Kamala has a problem in the Midwest
There were other red flags for Kamala in the “Blue Wall” states in the industrial Midwest.
A Wall Street Journal article headlined “Kamala Harris Struggling to Break Through With Working Class, Democrats Fear” contained a worrisome nugget for the Left.
U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) own campaign polling showed Trump holding a three-point lead over Kamala in Wisconsin.
“An internal poll done by Democrat Tammy Baldwin’s Senate campaign last week showed Harris down by 3 percentage points in Wisconsin, while Baldwin was up by two points, according to a person familiar with the poll. The person said much of the narrowing is due to Republicans’ strength with noncollege-educated men,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
Kamala’s handlers knew they needed to hide her from voters as much as possible to win.
But a basement strategy only worked in 2020 because of the COVID lockdowns shutting down society.
The more voters see Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in debates and on the stump the less they like them.
