Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports took to YouTube to offer a video that explains how all the polls that show former President Donald Trump to be losing to vice president Kamala Harris are examples of gaslighting as all the other polling sources are bought and paid for by special interests while Rasmussen remains independent.
Mitchell goes through point by point discrediting all those polls showing Trump losing to Harris. He reports Rasmussen will be coming out with new polling information every Thursday up to the election.
Mitchell also gives credit to a new CNBC poll that offers Trump is in the lead:
“Trump holds 2-point lead over Harris with a big advantage on economy, CNBC survey shows” – CNBC
We found a Newsweek article out just now that also offered both the CNBC poll Mitchell offered as well as a new AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) poll that show Harris losing to Trump.

In 2020 there were 5 states that were considered tossup states. In 2024 those states have increased to 7. The states in play for both candidates this year are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Election Time is now offering their take on how Trump will take 2024 using their version of the Electoral College Map.

CONCLUSION:
The constant drumbeat of news broadcasters reporting on false polls should rightly be considered election interference. These polls that used to show Joe Biden losing or tied to/with Donald Trump are now trying to sell us on the idea that the less popular Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump by 5 points!
I think one of the biggest disappointments has been Fox News spreading these garbage polls favoring Harris but there is a hidden agenda there and that hidden agenda is “Never Trump” Paul Ryan, who once served as Speaker of the House, now is on the Fox Board of Directors.

Americans have the right to know honest poll results that are reliable. Those of us who had to take college level research classes in graduate school have had to read the 1961 book “Use and Abuse of Statistics”. It is pretty obvious many of these polls are rigged either by sample groups or more sinister methods.
Besides the new polls mentioned in this article, there was another new poll that showed Kamala Harris beating Donald Trump, sort of. That poll came from the Marquette Law School with Poll director Dr. Charles Franklin. The lack of background on Franklin’s political leanings and the fact that Marquette is in the very blue City of Milwaukee immediately makes the poll suspect. This is the same poll that showed Joe Biden and Donald Trump tied in June. So if Biden was more popular than Harris, how can Harris be leading Trump now?
But giving credit to Marquette and Franklin, even the results of this poll offered mixed results for both parties:
“Among registered voters, Marquette’s latest poll shows Harris with 49 percent of the vote, compared to 50 percent for Trump. Among likely voters, the survey flips, showing Harris leading Trump, 50 to 49 percent.” – Wisconsin Public Radio
One of the things pollsters need to control is bias and independent variables. Some of those variables are beyond their control and keep them awake at night. For example; What if polling samples just outright lie?
The Bradley Effect occurs which can cause inaccurate polls skewed by the phenomenon of social desirability bias. In other words some voters will give inaccurate polling responses for fear of stating their true preferences will open themselves to criticism.
Considering Donald Trump is said to be about to see a bump in voters from the blacks as well as (legal) Hispanics and Asians, it is easy to see that the Bradley Effect might come into play were any of these same voters to also be used as poll samples for these national polls. This means a hidden landslide of votes could be coming to Trump to decimate Harris in November!
The Republican National Committee (RNC) should demand all local media report the results of polls more prominently in their newscasts as noted herein. To neglect the results of such polls constitutes election interference and makes the news media guilty of trying to promote a false narrative.
The false narrative so obvious to so many Americans is there is no way Joe Biden, who was more popular than Kamala Harris, has Harris now doing better in the polls against Donald Trump! It makes both the pollsters and news media reporting their polls look compromised. It makes no sense.
