Democrat campaign advisor admits ‘junk’ legacy media polls inflated Kamala Harris’s support

Kamala Harris’s failed campaign against Donald Trump has sparked extensive analysis, with key moments and missteps coming under scrutiny.

A pivotal moment, according to Democratic strategist James Carville, was Harris’s response on The View when asked if she would have done anything differently than President Biden.

Her answer, “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” signalled a lack of distinction from the Biden administration, potentially alienating voters seeking change.

Despite media-reported polls showing Harris competitive or even leading in battlegrounds like Iowa, internal campaign data consistently contradicted these projections. Ultimately, Trump won Iowa by a decisive 13-point margin, far from the optimistic picture painted by legacy media-backed polls.

Campaign advisor David Plouffe admitted on Pod Save America that public polling inflated Harris’s chances, with the campaign itself never seeing leads reflected in its internal data.

Critics argue that the media’s promotion of questionable polls served more to bolster Democratic morale and suppress Republican turnout than to accurately inform the public.

  1. Liars. Most people dislike liars. Most knows intuitively when they are told lies.
    We live in a time of lies. Lies about everything, being covid, ukraine/ russia conflict, israel ” most democratic county”, better named ” the ghetto” guilty of war crimes and genocide, US or other elections. You name it. Liars and cheats.
