A pollster with the Trump campaign is reassuring prospective voters that despite a bump in voter approval during a brief honeymoon period fed by the mainstream media, Kamala Harris’s polling numbers will reflect her failed record as Vice President in the end.
“Many of you have heard me refer to the upcoming ‘Harris Honeymoon’ that I expect to see in the public polling over the next couple of weeks,” wrote pollster Tony Fabrizio. “As I’ve explained, the honeymoon will be a manifestation of the wall-to-wall coverage Harris receives from the MSM. The coverage will be largely positive and will certainly energize Democrats and some other parts of their coalition, at least in the short term.”
He said to now expect national public polling in some instances to show Harris ahead or closing the gap on Trump in voter approval.
“That means we will start to see public polling – particularly national public polls – where Harris is gaining on or even leading President Trump. Obviously, the situation we find ourselves in today is totally uncharted territory and has no modern historical parallel. But there are some things that haven’t changed. Due to the events of the past two weeks, including our highly successful convention, President Trump has seen a bump in his numbers in a number of recent public polls. Not surprising, given that most candidates historically receive some type of bump.”

Fabrizio noted that Harris’s jump in approval will begin this coming week and last until “the race settles back down.”
“Given what has happened over the past couple of days and her impending VP choice, there is no question that Harris will get her bump earlier than the Democrats’ Convention,” he said.
Democrats and the media, according to Fabrizio, will use the polls to say that the race is closer than previously expected. However, he believes that the phenomenon won’t last.
“But the fundamentals of the race stay the same. The Democrats deposing one nominee for another does NOT change voters’ discontent over the economy, inflation, crime, the open border, housing costs, not to mention concern over two foreign wars,” Fabrizio said. “Before long, Harris’s ‘honeymoon’ will end and voters will refocus on her role as Biden’s partner and co-pilot. As importantly, voters will also learn about Harris’s dangerously liberal record before becoming Biden’s partner in creating historic inflation (she cast the deciding vote on the IRA), floods of illegal immigrants at our southern border (she is Biden’s Border Czar), and migrant crime that is threatening our families and communities (she set illegals free who went on to commit violent crime as DA).”
“So, while the public polls may change in the short run and she may consolidate a bit more of the Democrat base, Harris can’t change who she is or what she’s done.”
