"The polls have been done, but not published because they favor Trump." Dave Begley

 Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report (jewishworldreview.com)

Columbia's first day of classes was upended by anti-Israel, anti-Semitic student protestors who stood at campus entry checkpoints and attacked Jewish students as they arrived. Democrats need to be careful. If they keep comparing Trump to Hitler, he may accidentally wind up with a statue at Columbia.

 Althouse: "A near majority of voters say Mr. Trump is 'not too far' to the left or right on the issues, while only around one-third say he’s 'too far to the right.'"   . . . "Only 40 percent of likely voters said Ms. Harris represented 'change,' while 55 percent said she represented 'more of the same.' Mr. Trump, in contrast, was seen as representing 'change' by 61 percent of voters, while only 34 percent said he was 'more of the same.'... When Ms. Harris entered the presidential race, she seemed like a candidate with a lot of potential liabilities. She took many unpopular positions in her 2019 presidential campaign, and she was tied to the Biden administration’s immigration policy as well.

New Poll Suggests Harris’s Support Has Stalled After a Euphoric August   "Is Kamala Harris’s surge beginning to ebb?

"That’s the question raised by this morning’s New York Times/Siena College poll, which finds Donald J. Trump narrowly ahead of her among likely voters nationwide, 48 percent to 47 percent.

"To me, the result is a bit surprising. It’s the first lead for Mr. Trump in a major nonpartisan national survey in about a month. As a result, it’s worth being at least a little cautious about these findings, as there isn’t much confirmation from other polls.

"That said, it wouldn’t be hard to explain if Vice President Harris’s support really has faded a bit in recent weeks. After all, she was benefiting from an ideal news environment: an uninterrupted month of glowing coverage from President Biden’s departure from the race in July to the Democratic convention in August. It’s possible she was riding a political sugar high; if so, it would make sense if she came off those highs in the two uneventful weeks since the convention.
