Pollster Frank Luntz said Wednesday on CNN that Vice President Kamala Harris’ honeymoon phase “looks like it has reached its peak,” as she now holds an estimated three-point lead.
After becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, major swing state-polls between Harris and former President Donald Trump began to tighten. While on “CNN News Central,” Luntz emphasized the importance of swing states before stating that Trump has “missed the mark” on discussing issues voters “care about.”
“I want to emphasize this to every viewer who thinks I‘m anti-Trump or anti-Harris, if you talk about things that voters don‘t care about, they‘re not going to vote for you. Donald Trump is already talking about this election being stolen. You can’t steal something that you gave away,” Luntz said.
“I’ve never seen the candidates [sic] more missed the mark than Trump has. His advertising is exceptional, it‘s very explicit and very clear,” Luntz continued. “But in terms of he himself, he‘s all over the map and he deserves the fact that he’s been falling.”
Luntz continued to state, however, despite the “boomlet” the Harris campaign has had within the polls, he warned she now has the same “advantage” former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had before Trump beat her in 2016.
