Jaydee wasn’t having it on Sunday when Fox News’s Shannon Bream asked him to address the Washington Post/ABC News poll finding Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov Tim Walz with a pretty solid lead over Senator Couch Fucker and his angry orange boss, calling it all a media conspiracy to drive a narrative that fat Donald is once again doomed to a humiliating defeat.
Funny how he’s saying more or less the same thing we were before the tables largely turned after Harris’s ascension. Except for that we weren’t really calling Joe Biden’s mostly depressing poll numbers “fake” so much as skewed by response bias on both ends, specifically low enthusiasm for Biden and high enthusiasm from Trump fanboys. We also have like actual evidence that pollsters have been underrating Dems going back to before the midterms, even it’s an open question as to whether the same dynamic will apply to a national election with apocalyptic stakes for both sides.
But yeah, The Narrative™ is fucking insufferable. We feel Jaydee on this one. Irrespective of whether or not the polls are wrong, they’re finding Harris ahead and that leaves an impression on the people who do take them seriously. Like CBS News and YouGov who this morning put out a finding with Harris up 51 to 48 nationally among likely voters and 50/50 in the swing states. Sucks for him.
