Kamala The Tax Cutter? I&I/TIPP Poll Finds
Trump Losing The Messaging Battle With Harris

Original Article

Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump. Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%. That’s not all. More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%. Trump is essentially tied with Harris on growing

Will the BS never stop? Trump isn't losing to anyone. They keep pretending he wasn't president before and gave everyone the largest tax cut in 40 years.

So she is going to tax the billionaires? Does she not get that a majority of them provide jobs? Does she not get that it takes private citizens supporting government? I also recognize that I&I is not really friendly to Donald Trump. . .

This is one of many reasons people don't trust polls. And is a huge reason people with above room temperature IQs don't pareticipate in polls. Trump wins on the major issues but the questions the Gen Z & Gen Alpha, with their degrees in lesbian studies believe forgiving their student debt is a tax cut. So the bottom of the list of issues that Kumsalot 'wins' is the headline. Not the major issues most concerning to Americans. Talk about prevarication!

Biden/Harris ran on the "Make the wealthy pay their fair share" platform in 2020. Apparently that failed if Harris/Walz is running on same platform. Why would you believe her now if she didn't do it the first time around? Where is Trump campaign to call this out?

If you look at the latest poll information taken in October where they get to Trump Vs. Harris, the poll was "created" by DataWrapper. DataWrapper's partners are: NY Times, Reuters, The World Economic Forum, the UN, AP and Axios. All of these organizations have an agenda that is not "America First." So you got to read the fine print.

With less than a month to go before the election, who has the edge in the presidential race, Democrat Kamala Harris or Republican Donald Trump? Disappointing as it might be to both sides, the race remains too close to call. But Trump has a solid lead when it comes to voter trust in dealing with the nation’s most serious issues, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. First, the big question we’ve asked each month since beginning our presidential poll: “If the presidential election were held today, and the following were the candidates, for whom would you vote?”

Hurricane Helene has wrought deadly and destructive havoc across the South and Appalachia, killing dozens and doing billions in property damage. Fast on Helene’s heels, we now have another disaster hitting the U.S.: The longshoreman strike that now threatens to shut down much of the U.S. economy. And very conspicuously, Joe Biden did nothing about it. No jawboning. No ideas. No attempt to cool tempers and bridge differences to get a deal. Apparently, Biden’s leaving it to others as he whiles away the remainder of his only term as president at his beloved Rehoboth Beach vacation home. Kind of like his administration’s reaction to the devastation from Hurricane Helene

Every candidate drools for the proverbial “defining moment” that leaves such an indelible impression that the rest of a debate or oration is rendered an afterthought. Sometimes, however, a line, a quip, or even an aura goes beyond simply defining to truly shining – rising to the level of political lore and perhaps turning an entire campaign. Ronald Reagan, of course, was the world champion in the category: [snip] If one John David Vance was not elevated to that dimension in Tuesday night’s debate against Democratic VP hopeful Tim Walz, he came darn close – by flipping the script in five respects:

If conservatives want to win elections, they don’t need to rile up the base, they need to convince independents to say in public what they believe in private – that they agree with conservatives on most issues and that Democrats are the wildly out-of-touch extremists. That, at least, is one way to read a fascinating new survey from Populace, a non-partisan think tank in Massachusetts, which figured out a way to discern what 20,000 Americans think privately and compare that to what they are willing to say publicly. It turns out that there are often wide gaps between the two, which Populace calls the “Social Pressure Index.”

The London Telegraph reports that the Labour Party intentionally “threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a ‘truly multicultural’ country.” Obviously, Labour feels the British culture is inferior and must be eradicated. America’s Democrats are no different. They hate their country so much they want to fundamentally transform it.

After being beaten over the head for months by Democrats about “Project 2025” – about which the left has mounted an unprecedented disinformation campaign – Donald Trump has finally figured out how to respond. And it’s a doozy. Up until now, all Trump would say about Project 2025 is that he didn’t know anything about it. That left the door open for Democrats to say whatever they wanted about that effort and claim it’s a Trump plan. Project 2025 was never a Trump plan. The book Democrats keep parading around is called “Mandate for Leadership,” which the conservative Heritage Foundation has published every four years since 1980.

In a long, arduous career in PR, this commentator approached one task with all the enthusiasm of cleaning latrines for ten battalions. Interacting with the media. Why? Because real reporters’ obsession is gettin’ ya in a “gotcha.” Pushing, prodding, twisting words out of context, and generally making nuisances of themselves. Especially hard-bitten, cynical, and largely antagonistic business journalists. Ah, that word. Journalist. A concept sorely lacking in the “interview” of Kamala Harris by MSNBC/NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

If you want an idea of just how inept Kamala Harris has been as vice president, measure her against former Vice President Dan Quayle – the guy that the left universally berated as a pampered half-wit. That characterization of Quayle was completely unfair. But when it comes to Harris, well, you be the judge. Quayle’s approval ratings were, like Harris’, in the basement when he was VP. There was constant chatter among Republicans that George H.W. Bush should dump him. Few thought he was qualified to be president. Both he and Harris had privileged backgrounds and got a start on their careers more through connections than talent. But the similarities end there.

Does the United States of America have a functioning president right now? That question isn’t meant to be provocative. Members of both major parties have noted that President Joe Biden seems to have gone AWOL from his official duties as the nation’s executive in chief. A large chunk of voters agree, saying they want Biden to leave office right away. In August’s I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 registered voters, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, shortly after the Democratic Party forced Biden to step down as his party’s candidate, we asked voters the following question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” \

Last week, the House approved a resolution to block the Biden administration’s emissions rule that would require more than half of the automobiles sold in the new-car market to be electric by 2032. The 215 representatives who voted for the bill, including eight Democrats, are far more in tune with most of the country than the White House. The “deplorables” and “bitter” clingers of the industrialized world are rejecting electric vehicles. Nationwide, the inventory of unsold EVs had grown by nearly 350% over the first half of 2024, creating “a 92-day supply — roughly three months’ worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average,” says Axios,

Democrats, who were once optimistic about the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris, are now feeling extremely nervous about the party’s decision to push President Joe Biden to step aside. Harris won exactly zero Democrat primary votes before her coronation and held one of the lowest approval ratings as a vice president in U.S. history. Only after the establishment media began writing about Harris in a positive way did her standing among the electorate appear to rise.Everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable, and there are so many things that are unprecedented,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democrat strategist who served as Harris’s communications director until last year.

It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor.

CBS 60-Minutes not only edited the interview, but they also completely erased parts of the interview and structurally moved answers to questions in an intentional effort to assist the Harris campaign. In essence, CBS completely changed the interview. CBS didn’t just shape or modify the interview; they literally moved answers to questions.

"You are a member of the present administration, but under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be, and what would stay the same?" Colbert asked.
