I guess the media couldn’t rig the polls anymore than they already have.. The state of the polling remains the same today as it was pre-DNC convention, meaning no convention bump for Comrade Kamala.
The “remarkably positive news environment” is a euphemism for fawning media coverage that ignores Harris’s record; allows her to avoid all spontaneous contact with the media or with voters; and describes former President Donald Trump in negative terms.
NewsBusters reported last week that “Harris’s coverage has been more positive (84%) than any other major party nominee, even as Trump’s coverage has been nearly entirely hostile (89% negative).”
It is likely that because Harris entered her convention already enjoying a “bump” manufactured by the media, the convention’s adulatory coverage of the Democratic Party nominee could not add any additional advantage.
