GOP Pollster Delivers Some Really Bad News To Trump After Debate Disaster
Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz said the presidential election is basically over after Vice President Kamala Harris drubbed Donald Trump at Tuesday night’s debate.
“I’m trying to decide if I want to go on record and the answer is yes,” he told Piers Morgan on Wednesday. “I think that he loses because of this debate performance.”
He added:
This is not the worst debate performance I’ve seen in my career, but it’s very close to it. The conversations about people eating dogs and cats, calling the leader of Hungary one of the greatest world leaders, repeatedly missing the opportunity to focus on inflation and affordability, and the complete inability to present his point of view without completely tearing into her, into Joe Biden, into whomever was in his sights. It was a pretty negative performance. Pretty pessimistic. Cynical. Contemptuous. And I think that this will cost him.
He said Trump’s treatment of Harris and his refusal to even look at the vice president will hurt him, especially with women.
“Donald Trump reminds women of their first husband’s divorce lawyer,” he said. “That is just absolutely disastrous.”
Luntz predicted that the effects of the debate will start to appear in polls within four or five days.
“But I do think that this has the potential to be a fatal mistake on Trump’s part,” he said.
