Democrats, Media Get Panicky As Kamala Harris’ ‘Momentum’ Stalls
“Why are Democrats bedwetting? The race is closer than it was 3 weeks ago in MI, PA, & WI. Way too close to call in all 3. Also, Harris is doing 6 points worse on avg. in them than Biden at this point in 2020.”
Despite proof over the last several weeks that Kamala Harris’ media/polling honeymoon is over, everywhere you look, there have been Democrats and media types proclaiming that she has all the momentum down the homestretch while her opponent, Donald Trump, is allegedly struggling to keep up.
But the facts are what they are, and even some in the media and on the left seem to have come to terms with this as the opportunity window narrows closer to Election Day.
Exhibit A, via The Hill:
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.
The New York Times echoed the Dem panic in a piece they published Saturday about new Siena/NYT polling that shows Harris has failed to close the gap with black voters:
Nearly eight out of 10 Black voters nationwide said they would vote for Ms. Harris, the poll found, a marked increase from the 74 percent of Black voters who said they would support Mr. Biden before he dropped out of the race in July. But Mr. Biden won 90 percent of Black voters to capture the White House by narrow margins in 2020, and the drop-off for Ms. Harris, if it holds, is large enough to imperil her chances of winning key battleground states.
[…]
Ms. Harris is no doubt on track to win an overwhelming majority of Black voters, but Mr. Trump appears to be chipping away broadly at a longstanding Democratic advantage. His campaign has relied on targeted advertising and sporadic outreach events to court African American voters — especially Black men — and has seen an uptick in support. About 15 percent of Black likely voters said they planned to vote for the former president, according to the new poll, a six-point increase from four years ago.
Here are some other examples of the panic:

“This is not a good sign.”
Maher pointed out that Obama said “no scolding,” and now he's doing exactly that, lecturing “brothas” to vote for Kamala Harris.

The panic is real. Trump-hating liberal Cenk Uygar says his spidey senses are telling him this election is akin to the 2016 Hillary Clinton devastating loss he once suffered through.

Dem strategist Simon Rosenberg is saying don’t believe polling narratives, that there is a right-wing polling conspiracy to “flood the zone“:
Of last 15 general election polls released in PA, 12 have right/GOP affiliations.
Their campaign to game the polling averages and make it appear like Trump is winning – when he isn't – escalated in last few days.

The Democrat panic is so pronounced that CNN numbers guru Harry Enten made mention of it during a Friday segment where he referred to the “bedwetting” underway in Dem circles:
BERMAN: When you compare this to four years ago, what does it look like?
ENTEN: Yes. So, let’s take a look, and we’re going to look at an average across these three states, right? Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, an average on October 11th. What do you see? Well, if you look eight years ago, Hillary Clinton was way out in front in an average of these three. She was up by eight. You go four years ago, Joe Biden was up by an average of seven points across these three Great Lake battleground states. You come today, it’s just a one-point advantage for Kamala Harris across these three Great Lake battleground states. So, Kamala Harris, at least in the polling, is doing considerably worse than Biden or Clinton. And of course, Clinton lost in all three of these states, and Joe Biden barely won in all three of these states. So, when you see Harris up by just a point across these three, I think that this is really the type of thing that gets Democrats really to worry, John, because the simple fact is Kamala Harris, is doing considerably worse than either Biden or Clinton was.
Watch:

The “media blitz” isn’t helping. The aggressive pushes for the male vote aren’t helping. The hurricane photo ops aren’t helping. Kamala Harris has really got to be praying for an October Surprise at this point.

I keep reading all these stories about how Kamala is sinking, but the sinking feeling I have is that she will win regardless. She has all of the organs of power, media, law and demographics behind her. Something terrible is in store.
The Democrats control those who count the votes and, probably just as importantly those who hold those who count the votes accountable (the media).
“I keep reading all these stories about how Kamala is sinking…”
Vot iss shee sinking abaudt?
I read that in a shockingly bad German accent! 😂
Way too close to call makes me nervous. People better get off their ___s and vote or quite literally kiss them and the country you thought you knew goodbye.
Actually l like to stories. The more stories like this broadcast endlessly by the Democrat media is demotivating for their side 😂
The point about ‘right-leaning’ polls dominating the more recently released polls isn’t entirely without merit. Many other leftwing commenters have been highlighting most of these polls missed ‘bigley’ in the 2020 Midterm, particularly the PA Senate race. And, that’s fair enough criticism. But, Midterm polling is always more volatile and the 2020 RCP average for PA – which included all of these ‘right-leaning’ (and other) pollsters – was BANG on the money, +1.2% Biden Polling vs +1.2% Biden Actual.
Today, the RCP average in PA is Trump +.1. It’s practically as close as it can get…and that’s probably where it really is. We could easily see a result where the candidates are only differentiated by a few thousand ACTUAL votes. Honestly, that’s likely not nearly enough to ‘win’ the state. Trump needs a couple point margin. That’s the counting reality in PA.

Ah, yes, the Ceremonial Tightening Of The Polls.
She never had momentum, that was just completely a creation of the media.
Now, as always, they’re forced to actually get their polls close to reality to try and maintain their credibility.
Can’t maintain something they lost a long time ago.
It’s a total puzzlement to me why Democrats are terrified that nobody is going to vote for the candidate that nobody has ever voted for..
Joe Lieberman boasted of his alleged “Joementum,” and, crone-harlot, Harris, has quickly dissipating “hoe-mentum.”
There is no need to fret. Unrelenting and crushing Biden-Harrisflation and the illegal alien invasion — and, the vile Dhimmi-crats’ responsibility for, and, callous indifference towards, those two situations — ensure Trump-Vance’s victory. The relative breadth of the margin of victory will surprise only those coastal, Dhimmi-crat elites who’ve insulated themselves from, and, who are totally blind to the suffering of the middle class.
I hope that you are right. Here is a most interesting article on the major Biden-Harris inflation being seriously understated, which explains why 2/3 of people think the economy is not good.

“This is why the inflation of the 2020s if calculated as it was in the 1970s, would have been similar in scale to that of the 70s, not the half or less that has been reported.”
Thanks for the link. The leftist media has been downplaying and gaslighting on Biden-Harrisflation in ways that are outrageously callous and appallingly dishonest.
Trump-Vance’s victory will be characterized as a huge shock to the Dhimmi-crat media class, because they’ve been living in an insulated, elitist bubble in a cloistered ivory tower, for the last 3.5 years. But, anyone who is trying to make ends meet, or, who sympathizes with the plight of those who are, will understand that the outcome is anything but surprising.
The “momentum” was always evanescent; created by media, promoted by media and sustained by media.
Of course it hardly matters since the plan from the first was to cheat their way to victory.
“Democrats, Media Get Panicky As Kamala Harris’ ‘Momentum’ Stalls
Why are Democrats bedwetting?”
Because they’re on the same aircraft.
In window seats. 🤣😂😛
I think the take away here is that Clinton and Biden were much farther ahead in 2016 and 2020, and still lost the election. In 2020, there were obviously massive inputs of fraudulent votes. If we can stop that this election, I’m pretty sure we will win.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Elon just caught a spaceship in midair. NOW THAT IS MAGA. If only he had painted a Trump hat on the top 😉
And just think how much farther advanced Musk would be in development if it weren’t for the continued interference of the Biden regime with the development and operation of his spaceship. We’d be halfway to the Moon by now.
People can’t afford food, rent, utilities, medicine, yet one poll claims 8 out of 10 Black folks – the demographic we’ve been browbeat with ‘they are the poor downtrodden economically disadvantaged’ – will still vote for Harris.
Why? Blatant racialism? Partisan bigotry? Self-loathing? If 8/10 is true it simply re-enforces my conclusion that the people are the problem. The heck with politicos. Those who elect em are the problem.
So what is the solution?
8 out of 10 blacks will vote for Harris simply because Harris belongs to the party (democrats) that pays the blacks huge
reparationswelfare entitlements and they know full well that if democrats don’t remain in power those entitlements may just very well disappear. So in the end 8 out of 10 blacks will vote against their own better judgment to keep the money flowing. That is all.Democratic misgivings are white noise. There’s too much of that at all levels. It’s a sickness that has infected too many. It’s how yesterdat does not matter, except if it’s January 6.
Most indications and on a gut level she is toast. Like Obama, she is hero only to a small sliver of progressives, largely white, and not authentic or likelable. But there is this voice that also says the fix is in. The voice won’t go away. We have seen too much of what these “democrats” are capable of. Have the voters had enough?
Have ENOUGH voters had enough is the real question.
I saw a show with pollsters discussing polls and they made it very clear that when a party is doing poorly, they put out very few if any polls. That right leaning polls are more prominent tells us that their side is doing better.
Republicans and America it seems have no problem with strong women in office. What they have a problem with is stupid, vapid women sleeping their way to the top.
