Might want to update that thread title. Even CNN admits the Harris campaign is concerned about the polling. 

CNN — 

Harris campaign plans trip to the US southern border amid polling concerns

Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to visit the US-Mexico border while in Arizona on Friday, according to a source familiar with the discussions, as Harris tries to close the gap with former President Donald Trump on the issue of immigration.

Details of the visit – which CNN first reported Monday that campaign officials were weighing – are still being sorted.

Harris previously visited the border in her capacity as vice president and has cited her work as a US senator and state attorney general representing a border state – California.

Immigration has featured prominently in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats, grappling with years of border crises, have tried to flip the script on Republicans after the GOP blocked a bipartisan border measure earlier this year.

Some Harris campaign officials remain concerned about the gap in polling, which shows Trump holding a lead on the issue, but also see an opportunity to narrow a gap they believe is closing and try to shut down GOP attacks over her not visiting the border enough, according to one of the sources.

They’re concerned about the polling on immigration not on the polling overall which frankly looks great for Kamala.

New Quinnipiac poll finds no clear leader nationally in presidential race

From CNN's Ariel Edwards-Levy

A Quinnipiac University poll of the presidential race released Tuesday finds no clear leader among likely voters nationally, with Donald Trump taking 48% to Harris’s 47% when third party candidates are included — nearly identical to the CNN poll released earlier.

In a head-to-head race between just Harris and Trump, Quinnipiac finds the two candidates tied at 48%.

In the Quinnipiac poll, 43% of likely voters say Harris would make a great or good president, 10% that she’d be “so-so,” and 46% that she’d be bad or terrible; for Trump, 47% say he’d be great or good, 6% that he’d be so-so, and 47% that he’d be terrible.

A 74% majority of Harris supporters and 60% of Trump supporters say they’d be “extremely upset” if their chosen candidate lost the election.

About the poll: Quinnipiac surveyed 1,728 likely voters by phone between September 19 and 22, with a margin of sampling error of +/- 2.4 percentage points.

He absolutely is polling better.  The polls had Hillary ahead in 2016 by 4% and Trump beat her.  Biden was polling up 7-9% on Trump in 2020 and he barely won.  Trump and Hillary are basically tied in national polls and she is behing in the battleground states.  She is doomed.  That is why she is panicking and may go to the border and desperately wants another debate.

OK. I misunderstood your post. I thought you were referring to Biden this time around. 

Kamala is consistently ahead and trending upward. She’s not panicking at all. In fact she pretty much knows she’s going to win at this point.

Tim, did she jump out to a 7 point lead in national polling or in ONE national poll?  I suspect it's just you cherry picking a single poll once again and posting an inaccurate title AGAIN.  But you want fair, vigorous discussion.

Not sure she is losing, she might be.   I think if we see more attempts on Trump to take his life that is demonstrative of the level of concern among Democrats.   The problem for Harris is she cannot really disassociate herself from the horrid performance of the Biden white house.

And even those are gross underestimates of trump support.  When you dig down and see how these polls still have a significant bias in them overstating the Demcratic electorate, all those state polls move to about Trump +5.  

The outrageously retarded polls which Tom loves to quote, overstate Democrats by over 10 points.  So when the braindead cultists post polls saying Harris +7, the data weighted corrected give a more accurate Trump +3.  All honest polling is showing Trump either tied or with a 2 or 3 point lead nationally.  That is even true of the lying bastards polls when you correctly weight their data to match the 2020 election electorate demographics.  

This in nothing new.  The left has been manipulating presidential polling results for many decades.  Websites like 538 have been overtaken by propagandists.  

The current state of the election is Trump 313EV to Harris 225EV.  And there are very few states Harris has any hope of flipping.  The headlines in this thread are laughably terrible that only a total dumbass would buy.

Harris is underperformed Clinton and Biden in every demographic except single women.  But somehow despite underperforming Biden and Hillary among blacks, Hispanics, young males, old males, married women....leftist polling is showing Harris doing far better than Hillary.  It is impossible.  Their polling is actually decent, the problem is their intentionally misapplying weightings which they know are a fantasy.

Perhaps.   I think most polling is really trying to harvest the reality; most but not all.

I think media, across the board, are absolutely despicable lying political partisans......and cannot be trusted at all....ever....anything.....

It’s one poll. Reuters/Ipsos. She’s averaging a 3-4 point lead. 
 

Nobody knows for sure how this is going to play out. I predict that on election night we will know early on that Kamala has it in the bag, because she’s going to win North Carolina. But my predictions are often wrong, brilliant as I am.
