2024 Election Slipping Away From Trump?

Donald Trump and Trump supporters need to remember that while he was polling great against Joe Biden, Kamala Harris is another candidate and we should take her seriously.

On Friday night, Fox News delivered a sobering update for Donald Trump with new polling data from four crucial states: Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. According to the surveys, three of these states are too close to call, while one appears to be slipping away from Trump’s grasp.

For any presidential campaign, peaking around 100 days before the election is far from ideal. These recent polls, especially when compared to other surveys that have been more favorable to Trump, suggest that his challenge is more complex than anticipated. The former president’s criticisms of President Biden do not seamlessly translate into a decisive advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris, as Republican strategists had hoped.

The Fox News polls indicate a troubling trend: Trump is consistently underwater in these battleground states, whereas Harris holds a slight edge. This dynamic is problematic for Trump, as it highlights a “vibe” issue—voters currently have a more favorable perception of Harris than they do of Trump.

In Michigan, where Biden won by a narrow margin in 2020, the race between Trump and Harris is a dead heat at 49%. However, when Robert Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, and Cornel West are included in the poll, Trump leads Harris 45% to 43%. On a positive note for Trump, he is drawing 17% of the black vote in Michigan and has a plurality of independents, but Harris still holds a slight net favorability advantage.

Wisconsin, decided by a razor-thin margin in the last two elections, shows Trump with a slight 1-point lead in a head-to-head matchup and a tie at 46% in an expanded field. Harris commands 92% of Democratic support and 51% of female voters in this state, while Trump has strong support from men and Republicans. Nonetheless, Harris’s favorability rating exceeds Trump’s by 5 points.

In Pennsylvania, another tight battleground from 2020, the race is evenly split at 49% each in a two-way matchup. However, Trump faces challenges in the expanded field, where he only captures 85% of Republican support and struggles with lower margins among men and white voters. Harris maintains a steady approval rating, while Trump is trailing in favorability.

Minnesota shows Harris leading by 6 points in a head-to-head match and 7 points in an expanded field. Trump’s support among Republicans is only at 84%, and his favorability is significantly lower than Harris’s.

While Republicans often criticize the media or Democrats for shifting candidates before the convention, blaming external factors won’t resolve the core issue. The real challenge for Trump and his campaign is to develop a winning strategy and adjust their approach to the evolving political landscape. With the election just months away, there’s still time for Trump to recalibrate his campaign, but it remains to be seen whether the necessary adjustments will be made.
