This is all really so unprecedented. I would give the polls a few weeks before taking them too seriously. There are a lot of people that will coalesce around her but also some that are going to be turned off once her record is under the microscope more. I think it is too early to tell how it will shake out.
I agree in part. But it's important to keep in mind. The combination of Trump getting shot and Biden dropping out has essentially taken away the Dems entire lawfare strategy. There is really no room in the news cycle to penetrate the public consciousness and beat the drums on these cases they have created against him. The public was already showing they had no mood to entertain the Dems narratives around Jan 6 or any of the other cases.
Now they are faced with having to work overtime in completely relaunching Kamala Harris while trying hard to make sure the general public doesn't ask any questions about how long the administration knew about Joe Bidens mental decline. That doesn't go away at all. Biden is still President. The world is still a dangerous place and the U.S. still has enemies. They want to know that a President is able to make executive decisions.
As much as the corporate media is in the pocket of the Democrat party. There is only so much they can accomplish in the age of social media with Elon Musk at the helm of a major town square.
The media does not have as much control of shaping public opinion at the current moment. If these numbers are anywhere close to real, it's going to be a lot of work to get them going back in the other direction with all this other stuff going on. They are going to try to make Joe a hero and all that. But I'm not sure that even the Democrat voters in the mood right now.
