And even the most glassy-eyed Trump cult disciple can readily see that it doesn&#8217;t look good for their guy. But a quick analysis shows that it&#8217;s even worse than it looks.<\/p>\n<p>Ten of the 15 polls have Harris in the lead. Of the five where Trump is ahead, one of them is by Fox News. Which shouldn&#8217;t matter much to him because he <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113046369119613948\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a> on his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62757\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">floundering social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, this morning that <em>&#8220;Fox Polls are Rigged and Worthless!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The other four Trump-favored polls were all from the notoriously disreputable Trump-fluffing outfit, Rasmussen Reports. But if you look at those numbers, they are progressively worse for Trump in each poll, dropping each week from +5, to +4, to plus +3, to currently +2. Sinking like a stone comes to mind. At this rate, Rasmussen will have Harris ahead before the September 10 debate. And that is from the pollster most slanted toward Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, however, must not put too much faith in any of these polls. They are not predictive of outcomes, They are merely snapshots in time. And Harris must maintain a commitment to winning every possible vote, in every state, right up until election day on November 5th.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s got more money than Trump; more volunteers; more popular support; and more energy (Trump is campaigning from the golf course, or in his jammies from Mar-a-Lago). And she must use those assets intelligently in order to emerge victorious. Run, as she says, as the underdog. And so far, she is doing everything right. Keep it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62594\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Polls Show Trump Losing to Kamala Harris Now, So He\u2019s Calling them \u2018Fake\u2019 and \u2018Dishonest\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62612\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ \u2013 What Does that Say About Trump?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62738\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Dictator Trump Seeks to Cancel Kamala Harris asking: \u2018What Gives Her the Right to Run?\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a little more than a month since President Biden passed the torch to Kamala Harris.
