Many Trump supporters have long believed that the 2024 election was all but in the bag.

The reality of the situation couldn’t be more different.

And now this alarming development in the 2024 Presidential race has Donald Trump sweating bullets.

The race to 270

While Democrats’ media allies and most Americans seem to focus heavily on national popular vote polls to determine who is “winning” the Presidential race at any given moment in time, what really matters are state-level polls, especially those in the top-seven or so battleground states.

After all, determining who will emerge victorious in a Presidential race has virtually nothing to do with who gets the most votes nationally in our Constitutional Republic.

It all comes down to the race for 270 Electoral College votes — otherwise, Americans in the most populous states, like Democrat-controlled California and New York, would have far greater voting power than virtually every other state and ultimately decide almost every Presidential race.

And with Democrats and their media allies bending over backward to portray Vice President Kamala Harris as the greatest politician in human history, it seems as though former President Donald Trump is suddenly falling behind in the race.

According to a new survey from Bloomberg and Morning Consult, Harris is leading Trump in the Electoral College race, 267-254.

That means they’re currently forecasting that the race will ultimately come down to Georgia, where the race for their 16 electoral votes is supposedly all knotted up at 47% for each candidate.

The survey claims that Harris’ mere entrance into the race has energized huge swaths of the electorate, giving her the advantage over Trump.

“More than one-third of voters in the seven battlegrounds said they’re much more likely to vote now that the contest is between Trump and Harris, and the numbers rose to 49% and 44% among black and Hispanic voters, respectively. Almost two-thirds of black voters said they’re now somewhat or much more likely to cast ballots in November,” Bloomberg reports.

But based on the underlying data compiled by the survey, voters’ newfound enthusiasm for Harris could very well disappear if the Trump campaign plays its hand correctly.

Down to the wire

For example, the Bloomberg and Morning Consult survey also found that “more than 40% of respondents” indicated that Harris “had a somewhat or very negative impact” on the Biden-Harris border crisis.

That’s one reason why Democrats and their media allies rushed to claim that Biden hadn’t appointed Harris as Border Czar – even though they’d all reported for years that he had.

And why the Trump campaign’s very first ad attacking Harris after she was anointed as Democrats’ nominee drove home the fact that she was Biden’s Border Czar.

Of course, the Bloomberg and Morning Consult survey is just one of many polls and surveys attempting to get a handle on the political landscape nationwide.

Other polls conducted by the likes of CNN, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal have indicated that Trump is leading Harris by a similar margin to the lead he held over Biden going into the June debate.

The Emerson College Polling Center, which many analyses have indicated was one of the most accurate polls during the 2022 Midterms, also recently released new battleground state polls in which Trump held an advantage similar to what he had against Biden pre-debate.

Election Day is still three months away, though, and with so much time still on the clock, there are plenty of potential scenarios that could unfold.

No matter how you slice it, the race for the White House is going to go down to the wire.

At this point, it’s really going to come down to which side wants it more in one of the most consequential elections in human history.
