Kamala Harris rode a surge of media-generated momentum to the lead in the polls.

But Trump’s pollster predicted it was all just a sugar high.

And now Democrats were handed some bad poll numbers about Kamala Harris that had them worried.

MSNBC warns Kamala Harris not hitting Joe Biden’s numbers with the gender gap

The gender gap is a reality of modern politics.

Ever since 1980, Democrats have won female voters and Republicans have won men.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki warned that Vice President Kamala Harris is falling short of the gender gap President Joe Biden hit in the 2020 Election when he only won by 44,000 votes across three states.

In 2020, former President Donald Trump carried male voters by five points.

Kornacki said before Biden dropped out that number was at 12 points.

With Kamala in the race, Trump leads with men by seven.

“Now, in the months before Joe Biden dropped out, when he was still the Democratic candidate, Trump had been leading Biden by 12 points among men and now in the months since Kamala Harris came in and replaced Biden, that’s what you’re seeing down here, on average Trump is winning men by seven points. So from Trump plus 12 to Trump plus seven, Harris has actually, in the months she’s been the candidate, this gap has come down for Democrats among men by five points, but still a Trump advantage there of seven,” Kornacki stated.

Kornacki said Kamala led with women, but not by as much as Biden did in 2020.

“Now, take a look at women. Again, in 2020, Biden carried women by 13 points over Trump. Just before he dropped out, Biden was still winning women, but look, the margin was down to five points,” Kornacki continued. 

He warned that the gender gap was narrower than in 2018.

Kamala’s momentum stalls out

Swing state polling shows Kamala’s momentum after entering the race the petering out.

The latest swing state polls from Navigator Research – a well-respected Democrat polling firm – showed Trump leading Kamala in the critical battlegrounds of Arizona, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

Based on these numbers, all Donald Trump would need to do to hit 270 Electoral Votes is to win Georgia.

Kamala and her campaign think women voters only care about abortion-on-demand.

Planned Parenthood had a mobile trailer at the Democratic National Convention performing free abortions.

Donald Trump and his team believe women aren’t a single-issue monolith and that they care about getting inflation under control, securing the border, and stopping crime.

The poll numbers suggest Trump may be closer to the mark.
