Abortion rights sparked an interest in white suburban women who in the past two elections went for Trump
Once the interest opened up the mind, everyone can see that the Democratic ticket is working class supportive and the Republican ticket is pro billionaire
Also, itās a generational thing. Generation XYZ were tuned out because the choices would be between two octogenarians neither of which the social media savvy younger generation could relate to.
Introduce Harris who was a two strike grand slam homerun in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. Itās an entirely new ballgame now because the Republican doesnāt have any pitching left and the brand of the Republican team is overwhelmed by its corruption, racism and misogyny.
Luntz: Trump ācommitting political suicideā as Harris seizes āintensity advantageā

Longtime GOP pollster
Frank Luntz said in a Wednesday interview he is seeing a ābroad shiftā in the 2024 polls toward
Vice President Harris as she rides her āintensity advantageā and as former President Trump increasingly commits āpolitical suicide.ā
Luntz said Harrisās recent enthusiasm boost has tapped into part of the electorate that might not have otherwise voted in November had
President Biden remained the partyās nominee. He predicted that could have a downballot effect, speaking in an interview on CNBCās āSquawk Box.ā
āSheās bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden. So the entire electoral pool has changed,ā Luntz said. āAnd if it continues in this direction, you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House.
āThe actual people who are participating ā sheās got intensity now. Sheās got an intensity advantage. Sheās got a demographic advantage. And I havenāt seen anything like this happen in 30 days in my lifetime,ā Luntz continued.
Asked how significant that margin of extra Harris voters might be to the overall electoral pool, Luntz said, ā1 percent, maybe 2. Thatās it. But thatās enough.ā
Luntz suggested there are three components ā attributes, issues and conditions of the country ā that build a candidateās support, adding,
āYou shift the demographics, and you shift the entire outcome.ā
āThe issues and conditions favor Donald Trump. He should be winning this election. But the attributes are so much in Harrisās favor that heās not.ā
āIām trying to do a focus group tonight with undecided voters under the age of 27 for a major news outlet. And I canāt recruit young women to this, because they donāt exist as undecided voters,ā he said.
Luntz described a broad shift in voters toward Harris driven by the appeal of her attributes ā particularly among disillusioned young adults and women.
āThe people who are āundecidedā have all collapsed towards Harris. The people who are āweak Trumpā have all collapsed towards āundecided.ā Itās this broad shift,ā Luntz said.
Luntz also noted that Trump, at times, appears to be undermining the appeal of his own attributes. He pointed to a recent moment when Trump praised billionaire business owner Elon Musk for firing union workers who went on strike to protest for better working conditions.
āWhy is
Donald Trump saying publicly, I want to fire the same people that heās getting now, still getting, union members?ā Luntz said. āItās ridiculous.
Itās as though heās lost control.ā
āAnd I know that there are billionaires who watch this show who are spending a lot of money on Donald Trump, and they donāt understand why
heās committing political suicide,ā Luntz said.
