It’s now crunch time in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Kamala Harris is already back on her heels.

And Kamala Harris got the bad news that every Democrat feared.

New poll shows Trump retaking the lead

The press treats the New York Times/Siena polls like the gold standard because of who conducts them.

The Times and Siena released their first poll of the former President Donald Trump-Vice President Kamala Harris race that measured the true state of the contest.

Kamala received a massive surge of momentum after entering the race thanks to the media propaganda machine.

Then the Democratic National Convention took place where everyone expected she would get a bounce.

Pundits and campaign pros figured the race would settle down after Labor Day and pollsters could get a more accurate reading of the race.

The Times/Siena poll struck like a thunderbolt.

Despite all the hoopla and Kamalamania, Trump held an identical one-point lead over Kamala that he did when President Joe Biden first dropped out of the race.

“A national poll of likely voters by The New York Times and Siena College found Mr. Trump leading Ms. Harris, 48 percent to 47 percent, within the poll’s three-percentage-point margin of error and largely unchanged from a Times/Siena poll taken in late July just after President Biden dropped his re-election bid. Mr. Trump may have had a rough month following the president’s departure and amid the burst of excitement that Ms. Harris brought Democrats, but the poll suggests his support remains remarkably resilient,” the Times reports.

Trump’s lead grew to two points when The Times and Siena also included third-party candidates who will also appear on the ballot.

Trump’s advantage on key issues

55 percent of voters in this poll saw Kamala Harris as “more of the same.”

53 percent called Trump the “change” candidate.

The poll showed just 30 percent of voters agree America is on the right track so owning the “change” brand in this election is the winning formula.

Donald Trump won in 2016 because it was a change election and voters bought into him as the candidate of change.

The Times/Siena poll shows that that dynamic once again favors Trump in this election.

Trump held this advantage despite Kamala receiving what likely amounted to more than $1 billion in free media propaganda during her first month in the race.

ABC News – who televised the debate between Trump and Kamala – covered her with 100 percent positive coverage in her first weeks in the race.

That’s unprecedented.

But Trump managed to weather the media’s election influence operation because voters know that Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on a $1.9 trillion spending bill that created the inflation crisis and served as the border czar who facilitated more than 10 million illegal aliens entering the country.
