She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

Fox News host Jesse Watters has echoed Donald Trump’s claims that recent pollingreporting Kamala Harris in the lead is inaccurate — even as experts say their methodology was reliable.

Watters, one of Fox News’ most-watched anchors, said on Sunday that “pollsters are dramatically oversampling Democrats and then burying the samples so you can’t see it.” This comes after he claimed earlier this month that “the media” is “juicing the polls.”…….

In a bizarre moment, Donald Trump veered off course during his press conference on Thursday when he got distracted by a box of Cheerios.

At his luxury New Jersey golf resort in Bedminster, the Republican presidential nominee spoke about the economy and hit out at his 2024 election rival Kamala Harris next to a table full of cereal boxes, pastries, milk, fruit, bacon and other grocery items.

But towards the end of his speech, the former president suddenly caught sight of one item on the table that grabbed his attention: a box of Cheerios.

“Wow school lunches up 65 per cent, how can a family afford this? But look at this over here, what a nice job...” he trailed off.

“I think I’m going to take some of them back to my cottage and have a lot of fun.……

I'm still skeptical of polls, or at least how they're analyzed and portrayed.

Six weeks ago, polls showed the race as neck-and-neck between Biden and Cheato.

Now today on NPR's coverage of the convention, they were reporting how polls show women, minorities, minority women, young women and young people in general breaking strongly for Harris. Concluded by this gem "And with all that, she's only pulled into a close race."

Okay, guys. Someone's been lying to us. Either Biden was way behind six weeks ago or Cheato is now. Or you're not reporting some other large demographic that's bailing on Harris like rats fleeing the Titanic. Which is it?

I’m just paying attention to the trends, which are up for Harris, generally.

 

[SaintForLife]

Oh good. At least they aren't the only ones who have no idea which Harris policies stand out.

LOL clipped and cropped to feed you your daily dose of "idiocracy" and you ordered "supersized"

That is easy question...she was "presidential" vs the prior administration.

CHICAGO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The founder of the main outside spending group backing Kamala Harris' presidential bid says their own opinion polling is less "rosy" than public polls suggest and warned that Democrats face much closer races in key states.

Chauncey McLean, president of Future Forward, a super political action committee, or super PAC, that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to back Harris in the Nov. 5 election, spoke on Monday during an event hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.

"Our numbers are much less rosy than what you're seeing in the public," said McLean, who rarely talks publicly.

From that same article. She can only hide for so long.

He warned that Harris has yet to fully rebuild the Biden coalition of Blacks, Hispanics and young voters that brought him the White House in 2020.

McLean said polling shows the public wants more detailed policy positions from Harris.

He says they don't want "white papers," but they also don't want platitudes. He says they need more concrete examples of how she may differ from Biden and make their lives easier economically. Trump allies have called on Harris to do the same in recent days, hoping to pin her down on controversial issues.

Best of luck with that angle of attack

Please define.

It is a term that is very commonly used, and Google describes it as people who vote, yet are poorly informed about issues. I'll expand on that. Low information voters are voters that don't spend much time or no time researching politicians' policies, and don't dig into or understand the impact of those policies beyond superficial or instant gratification effects. Typically their opinions and votes are based on superficial things like looks or feelings, but they either don't care or don't have time to do any of their own research. They may vote a certain way just because someone told them to do so or someone they like does so. They are typically not very interested in politics, yet still have some sense of duty to vote or are embarrassed not to vote, but they are not making an informed vote.

I'm curious about how exactly Trump is going to "make (voters) lives easier economically." Is this only a requirement for Harris to do and Trump gets to skate as usual because right wing voters don't hold their candidate accountable for anything?
