Since last month when the Democrats threw Joe Biden out of the Democrat presidential candidacy for 2024, mainstream media have been busy promoting Kamala Harris with poll after poll showing that she either leads Trump in battleground states or that they are neck and neck in the race. But now the biggest poll open to the entire nation has shown that Trump leads Harris by a landslide.
This week, Elon Musk conducted an open nationwide poll on X (Twitter) asking everyone who they will vote for – Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. Over 5.8 million users on X responded to the poll and the result of the final vote weighed heavily in favor of President Trump. The result showed 73.2% voting Trump and 26.8% voting Harris.
Musk called his poll “super unscientific” but the sample size and open field for voting on X without selectivity gives a good idea of where most American stand on their 2024 choice as against the various small polls usually asking less than a thousand to a few thousand people about voting, mainly Democrats in blue districts.
Conservatives on the X thread supported the poll and called it the most reliable estimate of the 2024 race.
On Tuesday (August 20), Just the News reported on how the polls are manipulating numbers to make news to promote the idea that Kamala Harris can defeat Trump in 2024. The story noted that Harris suffered from poor approval ratings before Democrats decided to replace Biden with her and suddenly the surveys started telling a different story, leading experts to look critically at the polls. Well-established pollster John McLaughlin, of McLaughlin & Associates, was cited commenting on the Harris-friendly polls:
“So what they’re doing is they’re polling fewer Republicans. They’re polling a disproportionate number of Biden 2020 voters in these states that were dead even. They’re saying the Biden 2020 voters should be four or five points higher. It’s ridiculous.”
McLaughlin added that what the pollsters are doing amounts to suppressing the conservative vote:
“So what they’re doing is they’re trying to pump Harris up. They’re trying to suppress our vote. And this is, you know, there’s smart people doing this, so I think it’s intentional.”
On Wednesday (August 21), The Western Journal reported on a new poll showing Harris has no lead left over Trump. The story wrote that despite media’s flattering coverage of Harris for a month, her slight lead over former President Donald Trump in battleground states has evaporated. It added:
Broken down individually, Trump is ahead of Harris by one percentage point in Arizona (46 to 45 percent) and two points in Pennsylvania (46 to 44 percent), while the other three states are tied.
