Major New Survey Is Great News For Trump

By ELECTION 2024

Former President Donald Trump has once again taken a lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in a major new poll released on Saturday. The New York Times/Siena College poll has Trump up by 1 point over Harris, but there are several other factors in the survey that bode well for the 45th president. In a two-way race, he is up by one point, 48 to 47 percent. With third-party candidates, he’s up two points, 47 to 45 percent.



“In this same poll, throughout all of 2020, Trump never came any closer than eight points behind Joe Biden. Moreover, Trump never polled any higher than 41 percent nationally. Today, he’s polling at 48 percent nationally,” Breitbart noted. “Trump picks up 14 percent of the black vote and 41 percent of the Hispanic vote. His favorability rating is only a single point worse than Kamala’s. He enjoys a 46-52 percent favorable/unfavorable rating (-6) to her 46-51 percent rating (-5).”

Last week, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump blasted Harris over allegedly orchestrating a “highly illegal” campaign scheme that reportedly involved parents and teachers in the swing state of North Carolina.

On Instagram, Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, warned parents that left-leaning teachers in Gaston, N.C., are allegedly emailing students to encourage them to volunteer for the Harris campaign. She shared a screenshot of an email from Reed Breunig, a Regional Organizer for the Harris campaign, who offered teachers an “exciting opportunity” for their students to get involved in a “local political campaign.” Breunig, responsible for coordinating voter outreach with Democratic candidates, emphasized his role in supporting the Harris campaign’s efforts.

“The North Carolina Democratic Party is looking for high school students interested in getting involved with the campaign and learning a bit more about local, state and national politics,” he writes. The offer includes a “fellowship” that requires “roughly 5-10 hours a week” where students would work alongside Democratic operatives on “talking with voters, helping to run the office, and the day-to-day business of the campaign.” The opportunity doesn’t include a paycheck, but he offered to “sign off for volunteer hours and school credit.”

According to the North Carolina state Office of Human Resources, public employees are barred from “engaging in political activity (including without limitation taking an active part in managing a campaign) while on duty or during work hours, and the statute prohibits covered employees from using state resources or the authority of a state position to secure support for (or oppose) any political candidates.” If Breunig’s emails were sent to teachers’ official work accounts, it likely constitutes use of official resources if those teachers passed along the opportunity to their students. “The Gaston County School Board has reportedly shut this down and is currently investigating the matter,” Lara Trump wrote in her post.

Recent state polls reveal a tight contest between Trump and Harris in North Carolina. According to FiveThirtyEight’s aggregated data, Trump leads Harris by a narrow margin of 46.5% to 46%. Most polls conducted between August and September show Trump with a slim lead ranging from 1% to 3%.
