Surprising twist, former President Donald Trump’s long-time pollster, Tony Fabrizio, has released a report suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris could soon see a significant boost in polling. This development could potentially see her surpass Trump as the frontrunner in the 2024 election.
Fabrizio’s internal memo, which was reviewed by Mediaite, predicts a “Harris Honeymoon” period. According to the memo, this phase will likely bring extensive and mostly positive coverage of Harris from mainstream media (MSM). This favorable attention is expected to energize Democrats and parts of their coalition, albeit temporarily.
As Fabrizio puts it, “The honeymoon period will reflect the extensive and predominantly positive coverage Harris will receive from MSM in the coming weeks.” He adds that this could lead to Harris gaining ground on or even overtaking Trump in national polls.
Despite this anticipated surge, Fabrizio cautions that the impact might be short-lived. He foresees that while Democrats might capitalize on this moment to argue that the election dynamics have shifted, the underlying issues will remain. He notes, “The core issues remain unchanged. Swapping one nominee for another doesn’t alter voter dissatisfaction with the economy, inflation, crime, the open border, housing costs, and concerns over two foreign conflicts.”
Fabrizio also emphasizes that Harris’ past actions and policies will come under increased scrutiny as the honeymoon phase wanes. Voters will likely reassess her tenure as Biden’s partner, focusing on her record on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), her role as the Border Czar during a surge in illegal immigration, and her history as a District Attorney with controversial decisions.
While recent polls have shown Trump maintaining a lead over Harris, there are signs that Harris might be gaining traction. The support of key Democrats, including President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton, could further bolster her position.
As the 2024 election race heats up, Fabrizio’s report underscores the unpredictable nature of political campaigns. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor these developments and their potential impact on the election landscape.
