Renowned pollster Frank Luntz revealed the exact moment Kamala Harris lost the election.
During an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Luntz, also known as ‘The Nostradamus of pollsters,’ said the Democratic candidate was doing well in the polls until she ‘froze’ after turning her attention to Donald Trump.
“He had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,” Luntz said.
“And then the moment he turned anti-Trump and targeted him and said ‘don’t vote for me, vote against him.'” That’s when everything froze.
Luntz added that Trump is “defined” because he “doesn’t win” and “doesn’t lose” in the election, while his opponent is “less well defined.”

“And if you continue to define this race as simply ‘voting against Trump,’ you’re going to stay where you are now and you may lose,” Luntz added.
The next day, Luntz told NewsNation that the winner will most likely be decided by uncommitted voters.
‘I think right now, in terms of engagement, Trump has the advantage.
‘In terms of the ceiling of potential votes, Harris has the lead, which is why I stay away from any projections. “I don’t know,” he said, adding that the elections “are no longer a game.”
A bombshell new poll revealed that Harris is falling behind Joe Biden’s 2020 performance.
a saturday New York Times/Siena College poll found that in general, Harris is ahead of Trump 66 to 27 percent among likely voters in New York City.
But that’s 11 points behind President Biden, who won 76 percent of the vote in New York compared to Trump’s 23 percent in the last presidential election.
With just eight days until the 2024 election, Harris admitted she’s not good at thinking on her feet after CNN’s town hall last week, where she joined Anderson Cooper in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
Retail worker Joe Donahue asked the vice president, “What weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them?” at the live event on Wednesday.
Harris, 60, responded that she “may sometimes not be quick to get the answer” on “a specific policy issue” because she likes to “research” it first.
‘I’m going to want to study it. “Sometimes I’m a little nerdy, I confess,” Harris said.
‘Some might call that a weakness, especially if you’re in an interview or just asked a certain question and you’re expected to have the right answer straight away. But that’s how I work.’
Despite launching her presidential campaign on an optimistic note, Harris has recently been attacking her Republican opponent, even calling him a “fascist” and comparing him to Hitler.
She unleashed the scathing attack on Trump last week while speaking outside her home at the US Naval Observatory.
During her speech, the vice president cited an interview that Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, gave to the New York Times in which he said that Trump often spoke admirably of Hitler when he was in the White House.
Despite launching her presidential campaign on an optimistic note, Harris has recently been attacking her Republican opponent, even calling him a “fascist” and comparing him to Hitler.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews,” Harris said.
‘Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be barriers against his propensities and actions.
‘So the bottom line is this: we know what Donald Trump wants. He wants power without control. The question in 13 days will be: what do the American people want?
“This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room, and it’s clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald “Trump is someone who I quote, certainly falls under the general definition of a fascist,” Harris added.
Trump’s comments have been reported before, but generally by anonymous sources, given the protection so that the former president would not attack them.
But now Kelly, who was on Trump’s staff from 2017 to 2019, has gone on record with her concerns.
Following Harris’ claim that Trump wanted to govern as a “fascist,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams harshly criticized her for that response and asked her to tone it down. (Pictured: Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday)
He told the New York Times that Trump meets the “definition of a fascist” and claimed that the former president does not understand American history or the Constitution.
Kelly, 74, alleged that Trump once said that “Hitler did some good things” and praised the Nazi dictator for having “rebuilt the economy.”
Kelly also revealed that Trump said he wanted his staff to be more like “German generals in World War II because they were “totally loyal” to Hitler.
Following Harris’ claim that Trump wanted to govern as a “fascist,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams sharply criticized her for that response at a news conference Saturday.
‘Some political leaders in the city have made those comments at me; My answer is “No,” Adams said.
He criticized Trump’s comparisons to people like Adolf Hitler and asked Harris to tone it down.
‘I know what Hitler has done and I know what a fascist regime is like. “I think, as I’ve asked over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all lower the temperature,” he added.
Recently, concerns have been raised among Democrats, who now wonder if Harris has let her momentum in the 2024 race be lost entirely.
The Harris campaign’s series of bad PR this week included a continued decline in the polls, a widely criticized CNN town hall, Donald Trump beating her to Joe Rogan’s blow and even fellow Democrats criticizing her rhetoric.
After an exclusive sit-down with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in the swing state of Pennsylvania, left-leaning panelists criticized Harris after she failed to provide clear answers on domestic and foreign policy, and on the meanderings of trademarks.
Harris now trails Trump in the polling average in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Real Clear Politics.
Fear is now gripping Harris’ campaign and the “vibes” are fading as prominent Democratic lawmakers, as well as the liberal media, have been forced to publicly acknowledge that the campaign is faltering at the final hurdle.
One Democratic strategist admitted on The Hill: ‘Yes, it’s close, but are things going our way? No. And no one wants to admit it openly. Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even a little bit optimistic right now? No.’
While some noted that Harris is taking risks like teaming up with Liz Cheney and holding rallies in red Texas in the final weeks of the campaign, another strategist put it bluntly: “If this is a vibe election, the current vibes are not very good.”
