Two polling firms, Insider Advantage and Trafalgar, released several battleground state polls on Saturday, and the news was mostly positive for former President Donald Trump.
Trafalgar
- Pennsylvania: Trump 47%/Harris 45% – Trump +2
- Michigan: Trump 47% / Harris 47% – Tie
- Wisconsin: Trump 47%/Harris 46% – Trump +1
Trafalgar surveyed more than 1,080 voters between Aug. 28 and 30 in all three polls, with a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
Insider Advantage
- Arizona: Trump 49%/Harris 48% – Trump +1
- Nevada: Trump 48%/Harris 47% – Trump +1
- North Carolina: Trump 49%/Harris 48% – Trump +1
- Georgia: Trump 48%/Harris 48% – Tie
For all four polls, Insider Advantage surveyed 800 voters between Aug. 29-31, with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
There's one more thing vote Trump has a two-point lead in Georgia, 44 percent to 42 percent. They were tied in the previous poll, which was conducted on August 28 among 699 voters.
What's significant about these polls is that they all took place after Kamala's anti-drug rally, after six weeks of billions of dollars of free corporate media propaganda, and at least one day after Kamala's disastrous CNN interview on Thursday night.
A look at the RealClearPolitics average of polls across these states shows Trump's approval rating above average in every case: It may only be a point or two difference, but it's worth pointing out that two separate polling organizations have consistently given Trump a stubborn lead over Kamala, who is expected to have a post-convention boost.
It also raises the question of what will happen if polls reveal that Kamala's CNN interview was disastrous.
Unless something unexpected happens, CacklyMcNeverBorderCzar has peaked after a convention that saw no real backlash. All the sugar-coated euphoria of announcements and conventions is over. The real campaign starts on Tuesday, what will Kamala do? Continue to hide from the media or try again and risk another disaster? She will buckle under the pressure and the debate is next week. What will happen if this McDonald's thing blows up in her face?
State and national polls currently show Trump in a higher position than he was in 2016, when he won, and in 2020, when he lost three states by an estimated 45,000 votes.
Come Tuesday morning, I'd rather choose Trump than Harris.
