What do the Polls Say about Trump vs Harris?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Every real American is interested in one question? What do the polls say about a Trump vs Harris contest for the presidency?

The truth is ‘nothing.’ First and foremost, she has not been chosen as the Democratic nominee; at least not yet. Second, for obvious reasons, there have been no polls taken by respected organizations. Most importantly, how polls are taken today, no one can accept any poll as reliable.

I FIND ONE WORD INTERESTING AND POSSIBLY CRITICAL

In every election, the numbers related to voter turnout explain the results.

The word I find missing in 2024 is “excitement.” That word always relates to voter turnout. Look back at 2020. This country was eager to rid itself of the worst president in history.

However, no one I know wanted to see a rematch of 2020. The two major parties offered us old, white men whose mental and physical abilities are in question. In addition, the average age of all Americans is 38.2 years. No one can offer me assurance that two octogenarians can relate to the needs and wishes of voters less than half their age. President Biden is 81 and Trump, 78. Kamala Harris is 59.

TRUMP HAS NOTHING TO OFFER, WHILE HARRIS COVERS ALL THE BASES

Trump is a convicted felon, a self-admitted sexual predator, cannot honestly name one accomplishment, without outside assistance in his life, and failed miserably between 2017 and 2021. He attempted to overthrow his own government, and stole national secrets in violation of the Espionage Act. And these are just the highlights. Presidential historians label him the worst president in history.

Vice-President Harris is experienced, extremely intelligent, and supports the issues most important to the majority of our nation’s people.

Her age is important, and so is the fact that she would be our first female president. Ms. Harris’ ethnicity is a mixture of Black on her father’s side, and Indian on her mothers. She is representative of a nation’s diversity which is growing rapidly.

Remember that word, that emotion, “excitement.”

Trump’s appeal is exclusively to older, less educated, pure white men and women.

Ms. Harris will appeal to a list of demographics, including women voters, Black voters, ethnicities from Asia, younger voters, educated voters, and most certainly all progressive Americans. She will encourage millions to vote who are currently uninspired.

Possibly the best part of Kamala Harris candidacy is Trump will hate her. How dare a woman challenge his right to lead his Neo-Nazi Klan from the White House? He will create another nickname for her which will have no meaning, but will be mean-spirited.

Just another opportunity to laugh at the orange buffoon.
