Polls can be as slippery as a greased pig at a county fair, but some recent surveys show that the race for the White House in 2024 is tighter than a pair of spandex shorts on a hot summer day. Former President Donald Trump is supposedly neck-and-neck with Vice President Kamala Harris, which would be a shocking turn of events if anyone believed that she’s actually still in the running. The latest reports, including one from the ever-reliable New York Times, indicate that Harris has found “new strength” in states like North Carolina and Georgia. Meanwhile, Trump has shrugged off her lead in Pennsylvania while holding on to a solid advantage in Arizona.
In an eye-opening display of political insight, Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports tackled the current polling drama, suggesting that Trump is primed for a landslide victory. This perspective, shared during an engaging interview with Breitbart, has the potential to send shockwaves through Democratic campfires nationwide. While pollsters pounce on the idea of a close race, Mitchell insists that the truth is a little more inconvenient for Harris supporters. His uncanny ability to spot the emperor’s new clothes of the polling world highlights a significant and evolving political landscape that traditional pollsters seem to be missing.
Mitchell argues that the growing popularity of Trump comes not from mere partisan identifiers, but from an understanding that voters care about who is at the helm rather than the R or D next to a candidate’s name. The endorsement of Harris by President Biden will likely do her no favors. Americans have generally decided they don’t like what Biden’s tenure has brought, and Harris is poised to inherit that unpopularity like a bad cold that just won’t go away.

As Trump navigates through his legal troubles—think of them as political speed bumps rather than roadblocks—Mitchell posits that the race remains firmly in Trump’s court. He describes a dynamic that is “locked in at a Trump plus two” in the national popular vote. If that holds true, it means we could see Trump exploding past his previous vote margins and confidently sweeping the swing states. Such a scenario could lead to a celebratory evening for Republican supporters reminiscent of a 1980 atmosphere when Reagan blew Carter out of the water.
Mitchell’s comparisons to the 1980 election are stirring some nostalgic thoughts among older conservatives. Back then, if you took away John Anderson’s votes, it’s fair to speculate that those would primarily swing toward Carter, reinforcing Reagan’s landslide win. If the political climate continues trending like that, Harris might find herself more concerned about writing memoirs and launching a podcast than preparing for a much-coveted second term in the vice presidency. The whirlwind of political machinations in this election cycle may just have voters less interested in the candidates and more focused on making a decisive choice for America’s future.
