Media hype of Vice President Kamala Harris since she entered the presidential race is now showing evidence of shifting the polls, and the election, in her favor.
The reason is simple: The mostly left-leaning press are focusing on the vice president’s “joyful” campaign and sharpening their attacks on former President Donald Trump.
Consider: Voters say they are being overwhelmed with Harris honeymoon coverage.
In Tuesday’s Morning Consult polling note, voters said they have heard something positive about Harris far more than of Trump. The gap is in double digits, 47%-33%.
Here is the analysis: “Harris’s media honeymoon rolls on. For the third week running since launching her presidential campaign, voters remained more likely to say they heard something positive (47%) than negative (33%) about Harris by a double-digit margin. Her net buzz rating (the share of voters who heard something positive minus the share who heard something negative) bests Trump’s rating from last week by a whopping 33 points.”
