The Hill: "Democrats Start to Hit the Panic Button"

I disputed some commenters' claims that things are looking "rosy" for Trump. I guess some Democrats agree with them.

Democrats' nerves are at an all-time high.
Two months ago -- even a month ago -- they were feeling bullish about Vice President Harris's prospects of defeating former President Trump.
But now, with less than a month to go until Election Day, they're increasingly worried about a number of issues plaguing the Democratic nominee's campaign.
On Tuesday, there was grumbling from some Democrats about the vice president's interview on CBS's "60 Minutes."
There's also concern on everything from the static poll numbers in the race to the vice president's messaging and even her standing with men -- not just white men but Black and Hispanic men, too.
...
"We can't look back with any level of security [I think these illiterates meant "surety"] because we haven't had an African American woman on the ticket. We haven't had a former president running again. We haven't had a campaign with two assassination attempts. We haven't switched out a candidate two months before Election Day before."
"So it's just hard to know," Simmons explained. "If you're not nervous, you're not paying attention."
...
"Now that the sugar high [of the post-convention "Joy" offensive] is gone, people have realized what Kamala Harris has said from the start, which is that she is the underdog," Coley said. "This is going to be a fight. ... These numbers are just so stubborn."

I don't like cherry-picking positive poll reports to suggest some kind of broad agreement of polls in our favor, but I'll indulge myself here, because this does seem interesting. If true.

Democrats are now taking on water in Wisconsin. It's no longer an outlier: Wisconsin is in play, and incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who has hidden from national Democrats, knows this well, too. The national polling is irrelevant here, as her team's internals show Ms. Baldwin ahead by only two points. The Cook Political Report reclassified the race as a "toss-up," not the best of news, with less than a month before Election Day. Now, Democrats are scrambling, but this news out of Wisconsin also highlights a brutal part of Kamala Harris' operation: she flat-out cannot connect with working people.
...
Baldwin's internals have Donald Trump leading Kamala by three points in the state (via WSJ) [emphasis mine]:

Democrats have privately grown worried about Kamala Harris's standing among working-class voters in the crucial "blue-wall" states--particularly in Michigan.
Donald Trump has assiduously courted union members and noncollege-educated white voters with a message focused on high costs, manufacturing and the threat of China to the U.S. economy. Senior Democrats, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, want a sharper economic appeal from Harris and have conveyed those concerns to her campaign, according to people familiar with the conversations. They also would like the vice president to spend more time campaigning in the state.
Michigan Democrats have urged the campaign to make more overt appeals to auto workers and blue-collar workers by emphasizing the administration's work to grow the industry and build new plants.
[...]
Recent polling shows Harris and Trump essentially tied in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Winning the blue wall, along with Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, remains her strongest path to 270 Electoral College votes, as she is doing slightly worse in polls of competitive Sunbelt states.
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. Public polling has shown Harris with a slight lead in the state.

Unfortunately, Trump is doing well with low-propensity voters. Voters who will probably not turn out for the election, but if we could turn them out, would vote for Trump.

But they probably won't turn out.

Dave Wasserman
@Redistrict
New @CookPolitical: in key battlegrounds, Trump's best bet remains high turnout of less engaged voters. Among voters who always show up, Harris still leads by four, 51%-47%. But among low/mid-propensity, Trump's back up to a 52%-45% lead.

How can they be turned out? I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. The trouble is, Trump attracts a lot of disaffected voters, voters who feel little investment in American politics precisely because they have been ignored for 40+ years. The Regime's plan worked perfectly: these voters are now alienated and silenced due to their (very plausible) belief that their votes and voices just don't matter.

How do you get people to completely reverse their stance on non-engagement with a corrupt, ruthless, anti-citizen Regime?

David Strom had a post the other day about polls being "all over the map."

Here's one important chart. This shows Trump's current polling versus his 2020 polling. And 2020 polling vs. 2016 polling. Biden polled better than Hillary did and he (allegedly) barely won.

Just as Biden's improvement over 2016 resulted in a "win" (allegedly), then Trump's improvement over 2020 should bring Joy.

Trump's so brat.

Strom now writes that Kamala's media blitz is a "disaster." Well, I guess. But he also makes this point: Why would Kamala abandon her Hidden Joy strategy -- not appearing in public and just having surrogates talk about Joy -- if it were still working?

If it were working, they would continue it right through election day. But they sent this shaky, drinky airhead out to embarrass herself publicly.

They would only do that if they felt they had to, just like you never call a guilty defendant to the stand unless you're losing the trial.

That's a good point, but I can't help but think the answer may simply be: She staged a lot of fake interviews with very friendly supporters to get the media to stop saying she's avoiding the press and keep them on-side.

Kamala still can't answer in what way she'd be different than Biden, except to say, accurately, that she is not the same human being as Joe Biden, and that she's not Trump, which is... avoiding the question.

Colbert asks: "Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?"

Harris: "Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. So that would be one change. But also I think it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump." pic.twitter.com/hShW96CFGY

Netanyahu calls on Lebanese to "free" the country from Hezbollah or face Gaza-level destruction.

The State Department said Tuesday that it doesn’t want to see a ceasefire in Lebanon and supports the heavy Israeli bombardment of the country to "degrade Hezbollah."

State Department spokesman Matt Miller was asked about comments from Hezbollah Deputy Sheikh Naim Qassem, who said the group supports efforts by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to reach a ceasefire without mentioning that it must also include a ceasefire in Gaza. "Now that Hezbollah is on the back foot and is getting battered, suddenly, they’ve changed their tune and want a ceasefire," Miller told reporters.

Imagine being a Harris supporter and learning that her campaign was divided on the question of hiding her from the public or only letting her do harmless interviews with friendlies.

Those were the only serious strategy options.

Harris has given the worst public performance of any public figure since. . . who?

so my idea is that Trump must be clearly ahead in the polls or they will steal it. They will only NOT steal it if the steal is so obvious that they fear prison and revolt.

and he's not going to get that. He had that with Biden, not with Kamala. So the Democrats got what they needed: a stealably close poll situation.

Musk’s PAC took over as the leader of voter mobilization efforts in Wisconsin, a position that Turning Point had previously held."

71 The RCP average for the Battleground States shows Trump leading by 0.3%.

https://tinyurl.com/vw3m4n2b

Close, no doubt, but it shows him leading in 5 out of 7 swing states.

As many people have said, here and elsewhere, along the way; if Trump is leading in the polls that means he's actually leading by several points.

I think that's correct.
The polls have been skewed Dem +5% or more since 2016.

The pollsters are still having problems getting Trump supporters to answer the phone, much less sit there and answer their questions.

With less than a month to go, Kamala is, at best, treading water. There's no COVID to help her out the way Biden was hidden away.
And she's a terrible campaigner, worse than Hillary.

Statements against interest is one of the tells that you can use in a world where everyone lies and shades the truth. Treat all your new sources like Perry Mason did prosecution witnesses and even his own at times.

Kremlinology is based on the same tactics of how to tell when all your news sources are hopelessly contaminated. You look for multiple sources of observable facts and correlate the output with the contaminated news sources.

Sort of like how Germans were treated to news of their armies always advancing but when Germans looked at a map where the battles were described kept creeping closer to Germany.

Forget the news, forget the odds, sing Men of Harlech and go on with your life as best you can.

Or watch Miracle on Ice again.

Ultimately, the people involved in a fray always get a voice in what happens and know they gave it all--those that sit on their ass carping, moaning, and bitching get nothing.

88 Two months ago -- even a month ago -- they were feeling bullish about Vice President Harris's prospects of defeating former President Trump...

1-2 months ago, everyone lied and said whatever they needed to to gin up support for Kamala and make her feel inevitable in an attempt to get the bandwagon effect going and hopefully increase and solidify her support.

Now that election day is near, and reputations are on the line regarding prediction results, people have to start facing reality. Polls will start to shift at least closer to the actual, final, result, and Dems are panicking because reality doesn't look good.

116 WTF - The Quinnipiac poll has Kamala down in both Wisconsin and Michigan. What the hell is going on? Is the Blue Wall crumbling? The only good news was Kamala +2 in Pennsylvania.

A 9 point swing toward Trump in MI from 3 weeks ago? Unless something drastic happened, that we don't know about, this makes no sense.

One of the elected (woman but can't remember her name) expressed concern about Michigan. Guess she noticed changes on the ground. Hopefully Kamala will start spending more time in both places.

Baldwin also hinted at something similar. Their internals only had her up two points, and Harris down vs Trump.

That poll has Trump winning 18-34 year olds in Michigan. I call BS. No freaking way!

Don't you know the only polls that are credible are the ones that show Harris winning? Forget Quinnipiac's history of being a well-respected pollster, including in 2020 when they had Biden winning, it's now propaganda!

Ignore the internal poll from Baldwin that had Harris underwater in Wisconsin - that isn't true either!

If there is institutional opposition to her, it stems mostly from the coup against Biden.

The primary process allows a healing process for different factions to air their grievances and then come back together. That's not allowed with a backroom coup that the ruling faction outright opposes with only a few months left in election season while the replacement is an airhead who actively repels voters in an election environment where voters have a say in many places, maybe even enough to make a difference.

I really, really want Obama to be behind the coup because I really, really want the Democrat Party to turn against him. It would entertain me.

147 "Yeah, I think if Shapiro and PA do another count until the Democrats win again, that’s not going to go well with a lot of people."

Too bad for those people. No plausible scenario in which anything is done about it. State legislatures and Congress (not courts) have a unique express role in policing presidential elections, through certification. (that this remains a complete secret to 98% of Americans is a nice example of the collapse of the civic culture)

Outlandishly implausible that any state legislature or Congress will reject the certifications of secretaries of state. If a ballot gets counted, it's never being thrown out. If an election result gets certified by a secretary of state, it's never being thrown out. (this applies to presidentials, state and House/Senate elections are thrown out and re-run with some regularity)

That said, I've thought all along the Regime would not allow Trump to take office again. That still holds, although I've started to have a few doubts, and if the margin anywhere near resembles the polling trend, that no longer may be the case due to the magnitude of cheating that would be necessary. RCP just moved Michigan to Trump, and if that anywhere is near true, it would require martial law for Harris to "win" (and don't totally discount this, we had the medical version of martial law reently).

184 I think people need to be more precise in their language.

"Mail in ballots" by definition involve the post office.

I don't believe that is where potential fraud (necessarily) or electoral jiggery-pokery can occur. Or occurs primarily in the 2020s?

"They" put out ballot drop boxes, with no chain of custody or dates/postmarks etc, in various locations and these are the ballots that are (perhaps) mailed out, but in any case provided unsolicited.

In some states a "voter" must request an absentee ballot by mail. It will then be mailed out, has a bar code and is linked or tracked to a "registered voter".

But I think generally "mail in ballots" as a descriptor is not very good, and understates the potential in some states or precincts for fraudulent ballots, double votes, etc.

Relax, Biden junta probably got about the same actual votes as Killary did. Trump authentically went out and got 13 or more million more votes than he did in 2016.

What you are seeing is fake, gay, election cheating on a mass scale and you only get despondent if you believe they actually got those votes legitimately despite all their illegal actions in 2020 that have been documented.

I get angry instead which is why the Dems, media,and the GOPe cronies in on the steal call these stories of election fraud as disinformation.

And yet, curiously we cannot see the ballots, nor have the witnesses testify in actual court trials, examination in Congress of the stolen electoral votes, etc.

He didn't have one and he mumbled and stammered and that ended his campaign. I believe he was in a primary against Carter. I also believe Ted Kennedy communicated with Russia about how dangerous Reagan was or something. Not sure if this was in 80 or 84.

so my idea is that Trump must be clearly ahead in the polls or they will steal it. They will only NOT steal it if the steal is so obvious that they fear prison and revolt.

and he's not going to get that. He had that with Biden, not with Kamala. So the Democrats got what they needed: a stealably close poll situation.

What you have to do is far more difficult---watch the candidates, where do they go, what do they do. Where are the calls for help for congressional candidates for extra funds, etc. Trump not acceding to a desperate Kamala for another debate and shrugging it off is another.

Simply put, this is not 2020, not 2022, and instead of listening to the pregame shows on the media and their braying sheep on the screen-go out and play the game on the field. That is ultimately what decides this, not the media nor the Dems, or even the GOP.

I do think Republicans take it seriously now. The RNC was bought and paid for in 2020 and put up the worst of fights before, during, and after the election. They had no desire to do anything other than to lay down and let Trump lose no matter what.

The RNC has changed hands, and seems to be doing better now (seems).

NC is going to be a huge polling miss, I think.

In the past year, the NC board of elections has cleared out a full 10% of the voting rolls. Over 700,000 ineligible voters gone.

Let's assume, just for a moment, that NC Dems cheated in 2020, leading to the election of Roy Cooper using things like mail in ballots and last minute ballot box stuffing to get it done. The loss of 10% of the registered voter list (along with a host of other things the R legislature forced through over Cooper's veto) means that the 2024 electorate in NC could look very, VERY different from 2020.

And most polling firms are using 2020 as a baseline. If 2020 is no longer close to the right baseline, how bad of a miss will polling that relies on it be?

289 My favorite really, was not when Pelosi said "Donald Trump will not be President. You can take that to the bank."

It was prior to that, right before the infamous "Piss tape" or maybe it was the "pussy tape", as one may lose crucial details in the foggy ruins of time.

No, she came out with a similar pronouncement when it was the establishment Republicans who were trying to kneecap the Donald. She was quite smug and had an ace up her sleeve, cooing that pretty soon everything will get back to "normal", Donald Trump will not be the Republican nominee, and the two candidates will either be named Bush or Clinton, as is the normal order of things.

Did I mis-remember. I thought Paul Ryan, then speaker of the House, calling on the Donald to step down as the candidate *after* he had won, due to unsubstantiated accusations by the usual suspects. Do I have that right? Step down a couple months before the general. Really?

295 Kamala still can't answer in what way she'd be different than Biden, except to say, accurately, that she is not the same human being as Joe Biden, and that she's not Trump, which is... avoiding the question.

-------------------

I find it charming that people pretend it matters what Kamala's answers are to these questions. She is merely an avatar for whoever is really making decisions behind the scenes just as is Biden. It would be something if these questions were directed at real decision makers but of course the Svengalis must be hidden to be effective.

I wonder if the animosity and rage at Trump are due to the fact that he is not a puppet and actually makes real decisions as per the constitution.

They all retired because republican rules on committee term limits in the House were going to kick them off of their coveted committee chairman spots and end the graft, kick backs and perks they were getting from those positions.

300 "Trump seems to be pulling away in PA"

==========

Maybe. This perspective among blacks seems to be pretty common.

Erie County, PA

"Howard Pratchett, 48, a barber, said he plans to vote for Trump because he is more "factual" than Harris. "We don't care about LBGT rights. We don't care about, you know, abortion rights. We're not worried about that. They don't offer anything to the straight Black male voters," Pratchett said.

Monty Davis, 51, who runs a local youth program, said he appreciates President Joe Biden's efforts to lower costs and plans to vote for Harris. But he warned the energy among the Black community is not as high as it was with Presidents Barack Obama or Biden.

"It's just not that intense," Davis said."

Ronna and her cohorts had to walk the plank and the National Party had to be rebuilt from scratch. Unfortunately, Bitch McConnell and the hapless Johnson still run their own. The RGA has not covered itself in glory either and this election cycle has more or less covered themselves in disgrace for blowing tons of money during the primary to support their hapless GOP governors against Trump.

Should Trump win, it is time to get rid of the traitors and lawfare is the way to do it.

Our stinking rotten courtiers like NRO and even Heritage Foundation at the behest of big donors is something that needs a stake driven through it.

Margaret Thatcher put some of the Tory think tanks out of business because their pedantic ideal world bullshit was harming the party politically.

The whole 2025 report was a perfect example of someone at Heritage trying to set the agenda that was not the candidate's and usurping their role for personal gain and glory.

Want to do that shit, put it out on your own rather than under the imprimatur of an institution.

Same as if the NRO Vichy types put out their own lame brain thoughts outside the NRO. They don't because no one would read them and thus no one would pay them for long. Instead, they prefer to be the kept cheap mistress of donors.

Posted by: CaliGirl

Non response on a question is a problem because usually they have to discard the entire interview.

Open ended questions are expensive to add (time is money) and produce odd results often ending with I don't know if the topic is new to the respondent.

So many of the questions are confirmatory and structured to give measurable responses (abc or agree disagree, rating/ranking, and so on) and the polling questions have often been used previously in other polls as to produce a) a complete interview, b) give repeatable evidence as far as trends.

Over the years, the polling worsened due to people losing the habit to talking to strangers over the phone rather than welcoming it. Scams, decline in trust, robocalls, spamming, etc mean most people screen their calls now. The old Random Digit Dialing no longer works to place people either due to area codes not matching geographic locations for a lot of people with cell phones or VOIP operations. Much harder to get a representative sample.
