How Kamala’s Momentum Totally Froze

In a recent analysis, Republican pollster Frank Luntz shared insights on Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign trajectory, suggesting that her approach may lead to challenges in the upcoming election. Luntz noted that Harris had a promising start when she focused on her own qualifications for the presidency, but that momentum appeared to stall as she shifted her strategy to attacking former President Trump.

During an appearance on CNN, Luntz remarked, “Harris’s most effective period was when she articulated why she deserved to be president. Her numbers rose during that time.” He highlighted that the turning point came when she began to emphasize a negative campaign, urging voters to reject Trump rather than presenting a compelling case for her own candidacy. “When she pivoted to an anti-Trump message, that’s when her momentum came to a halt,” he stated.

Luntz also pointed out that while many Democrats remain hopeful about Harris’s chances, there is a growing sense of concern within the party about the direction of the race. According to him, the current trend favors Trump, who has established a consistent voter base. “Trump is defined; he’s stable in his support. His numbers aren’t changing significantly,” Luntz explained. In contrast, he suggested that Harris’s lack of a clear and positive message could keep her in a precarious position.

Recent polling data from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ illustrates this tight race, with Harris leading Trump by a narrow margin of just 1 percentage point. This slim lead may not provide the confidence Democrats need as they approach the critical days ahead of the election. The question remains: can Harris regain her footing and refocus on her vision for America, or will she continue down the path of negativity that could jeopardize her campaign? The stakes are high as both sides prepare for what promises to be a fiercely contested election.
