More States In Play For Trump? Look At What's Happening In Two More 'Safe' Blue States

Posted • October 28, 2024: I think at this point the Kamala Harris campaign team has to be losing their minds. Former President Donald Trump is leading in every one of the battleground states, although it's still tight in most of them according to RealClearPolitics. He's even leading now in the national popular vote, a feat that virtually no one predicted. Trump has had some masterful campaign strokes that have blown up the Democratic narrative against him, showing not only isn't he the guy they've been painting him as for years, but he has far better ideas than Kamala Harris. He turned working at McDonald's into a legendary event. He blew the doors off in his interview with Joe Rogan, which has gotten more than 33 million views. He's captivated a new generation of supporters with his podcast appearances.

Then he went to deep blue New York City, and a couple of thousand people camped out overnight, then tens of thousands came out to a rocking rally, with many watching on the streets not able to get in. Meanwhile Kamala and Tim are yelling Hitler and playing bait and switch using Beyoncé to try to get an audience -- then she doesn't even sing in Houston. It's not hard to see why all the momentum seems to be with Trump at this point. Now, there are even questions about states that should be safe. We've already spoken about Virginia. But there's more. There's a new poll out of New Hampshire from the New Hampshire Journal that now has Trump up by 0.4 in that state. -- POLL SHOCKER: Trump Leads Harris in New Hampshire https://nhjournal.com/poll-shocker-trump-leads-harris-in-new-hampshire/ -- That also has the generic congressional ballot looking good as well. There's been rumblings about New Hampshire for a little while now and this poll seems to support those reports.

Now I'll put all my usual cautions about polls, and also note this a small poll. But the fact that we're even talking about this possibility is bad for Harris. That's not all. Let's talk about some polling in New Mexico. According to polling from KAConsulting, Harris is up just three points in New Mexico — a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020 — with an additional three percent of the population saying they remain undecided. Internal polls conducted by the Trump camp, meanwhile, show a race that is nearly neck-and-neck, thanks in part to RFK Jr.’s support, sources said. That KAConsulting poll is within the four-point margin of error. Kennedy had been polling at about eight percent in New Mexico and his support for Trump is part of the reason for the move. It's not just smoke if they're taking time and money to go there. Mark Halperin spoke about the internal polling and predicted last week that Trump would be going there. (…)
