A co-founder of a major super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris turned heads on Monday after suggesting that her polling numbers are being overstated.<\/p>\n
Reuters reported<\/a> that Chauncey McLean, president of Future Forward, a super PAC that has raised hundreds of millions to support Harris this election cycle, spoke on Monday at an event in Chicago associated with the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n \u201cOur numbers are much less rosy than what you\u2019re seeing in the public,\u201d said McLean, who rarely speaks in public.<\/p>\n According to McLean, Kamala Harris gained a lot of support from young voters of color after Biden withdrew, which has revived Democratic prospects in Sunbelt states like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina\u2014states that Democrats had largely dismissed in the final days of Biden\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has multiple paths,\u201d with seven states in play, he said, according to Reuters. He added that voters want more details about her policy positions, according to internal polling. He asserts that voters are not interested in \u201cwhite papers\u201d or empty platitudes. Instead, they want concrete examples of how Harris might differ from Biden and how she plans to improve their economic situation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have [the race] tight as a tick,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, CNN contributor and former Obama administration official Van Jones expressed concerns on Monday that despite a month\u2019s worth of fawning mainstream media coverage and avoiding a former press conference, the best Harris has done is remain essentially tied with former President Donald Trump in states they both need to win.<\/p>\n According to the RealClearPolitics average, Trump holds a narrow 0.1% lead over Harris in the seven swing states, down from his previous 4.3% lead over President Biden. On \u201cCNN News Central,\u201d Jones suggested that Harris should have a more substantial lead over Trump, given the media coverage and her opponent\u2019s perceived mistakes. Jones also noted<\/a> that Harris might gain momentum following the Democratic National Convention (DNC).<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t wanna be tied. I don\u2019t like being tied with Donald Trump because we\u2019ve had now 20 plus days of positive press. He\u2019s been falling down the stairs, slipping on banana peels and poking himself in the eyeball. We should not be tied. We want to pull ahead,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThat\u2019s our opportunity this week.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Trump advisor David Urban said Jones made a crucial point that despite Harris\u2019 campaign being \u201cflawless\u201d thus far, the campaign is still close.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s scary,\u201d Jones responded. \u201cThat\u2019s scary. We gotta go.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re doing the best they can, and it\u2019s tied. That\u2019s really important,\u201d Urban asserted.<\/p>\n According to a Monday Media Research Center study, Harris and her running mate received \u201c82% positive press\u201d while Trump and his running mate were subjected to \u201c90% negative coverage\u201d on ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News evening broadcasts from July 21 to August 17.<\/p>\n Black male Georgia voters\u00a0said<\/a> in a Monday video that they support Trump because of his confident personality, business expertise, and successful economic record as president.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSome people don\u2019t like it, but I think he a smart businessman,\u201d one of them said. \u201cSome want to call him an a-hole but I think he an excellent a-hole.\u201d<\/p>\n All said, however, Harris\u2019 so-called \u201choneymoon\u201d period appears to be ending<\/a>, according to a series of recent polls, including one from the key swing state of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n An Emerson College survey released late last week shows Trump leading Harris 51% to 49% in the state, after distributing the preferences of undecided voters.<\/p>\n This indicates a tightening of the race compared to last month\u2019s results, where Trump led Harris 51% to 45% among very likely voters. However, recent polling from the state had consistently shown Harris in the lead. Emerson\u2019s latest data breaks from that trend.<\/p>\n Electorally, Trump maintains an advantage over Harris on key issues like the economy and immigration, where his policies have appealed to specific voter groups. However, Harris has shown improvement compared to Joe Biden\u2019s previous performance in these areas.<\/p>\n The post Harris Super PAC Founder Says Polls Too Optimistic For Her<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A co-founder of a major super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris turned heads on Monday after suggesting that her polling numbers are being overstated.
