Vice President Kamala Harris is extremely unpopular among independent voters, according to a poll from Gallup that was released on Wednesday — just 48 days before the election. The Gallup poll shows Harris at a dismal 35% approval rating among independents with 60% of the voting group disapproving of the vice president. Trump’s approval rating among independents is underwater by 9 points — 44% approve of him while 53% disapprove. Among all U.S. adults, Trump has an advantage over Harris with a 46% approval rating to Harris’ 44% approval rating, according to Gallup. Gallup poll: Favorability Ratings (shift from August) Donald Trump Favorable: 46% (+5) Unfavorable: 53% (-2) Kamala Harris Favorable: 44% (-3) Unfavorable: 54% (+5) —— Among independents Trump: 44-53 (net: -9) Harris: 35-60 (-25) #44 (2.5/3.0) | n=1,007 A | 9/3-15… pic.twitter.com/bbBc8Hp0j4 — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) September 18, 2024 “Despite the overall negative tilt in favorability, both candidates enjoy nearly unanimous positive ratings from their own party faithful and negligible positivity from the opposing party,” Gallup wrote. Harris’ approval among Democrats stands at 94% while Trump’s approval among Republicans is at 91%. The Gallup poll presents potential concerns for the Harris campaign as the vice president attempts to convince uncommitted voters to back her run. In the 2020 election, Biden won independent voters by 9 points, 52% to 43%, according to Pew Research. Biden’s 2020 success among independents was a drastic swing in favor of Democrats compared to the 2016 election when Trump beat Hillary Clinton among independent voters 43% to 42%. Political commentators reacted to the new poll on social media, arguing that it spells disaster for Harris. “This absolutely tracks with the conversations I’ve had across the country this month,” Fox News columnist David Marcus wrote. “Harris needs to turn this around. Nobody knows who she is or what she stands for, and she’s bleeding trust.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Kamala’s favorability ratings are beginning to collapse. Look at the numbers for independent voters!” Outkick founder Clay Travis said. “This is why they are trying to hide her. The more people see her, the less they like her.” Trump and Harris’ path to victory will likely come down to how well they perform in the seven critical battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As of Wednesday morning, the race could not be any closer in the top battleground states with Trump and Harris tied at 47.8%, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polling. Trump holds small leads in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, while Harris is barely ahead in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, per RCP.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said on Wednesday her office received a “very serious shooting threat,” an announcement that came after a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf club in Florida over the weekend. “My office has received a very serious shooting threat,” Luna said in a post to her personal account on X. “This division and hate campaign against Republicans is going to get someone killed. I will not be threatened, intimidated, or bow down to those using violence as a means to push their agenda. We will win.” My office has received a very serious shooting threat. This division and hate campaign against Republicans is going to get someone killed. I will not be threatened, intimidated, or bow down to those using violence as a means to push their agenda. We will win. America is the… — Anna Paulina Luna (@realannapaulina) September 18, 2024 Luna added, “America is the greatest country in the world. I will continue to fight for the wonderful people who have elected me as well as those across the country that feel that they are being left behind. Please keep my family in your prayers. Hate has no place here.” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) responded to Luna, saying, “We are right there with you. It’s OUT OF CONTROL.” Social media influencer Rogan O’Handley, better known as “DC Draino,” said the shooting threat “just days after” Trump nearly got assassinated was “unacceptable.” He added, “They’re trying to kill anyone who actually gives a damn about saving this country.” Luna, an Air Force veteran who was first elected to Congress in 2022 with Trump’s endorsement, is running for re-election to continue representing Florida’s 13th Congressional District for another two-year term. She is poised to face off against Democrat challenger Whitney Fox in the November election. With her congressional account on X, Luna criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the Left for making inflammatory statements directed at Trump and other Republicans. Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee, and others have faced increased scrutiny for describing Trump as being a danger to freedoms and democracy in light of the multiple threats to the former president’s life. “The continued rhetoric by Kamala Harris and the radical left about President Trump and Republicans being a ‘threat’ has to STOP,” Luna said. “The fact that it continues even after the first (crazy that we have to say first) attempt on his life is disgusting.”

We’ve all been to a birthday party with a princess, a clown, or even a superhero. But I’ve never witnessed anything quite like this: a real Dumbledore showing up to this kid’s birthday party! And this Dumbledore has a particular talent for playing the role. He doesn’t “kind of” look like the character. He looks exactly like the real deal! The kids at the party couldn’t have been more happy to see one of their favorite fictional characters brought to life. @gothrockermum When Dumbledore came to visit . The best surprise for the kids. #albusdumbledore #dumbledore #harrypotter ♬ Harry’s Wondrous World (Theme from Harry Potter) – John Williams & Synchron Stage Orchestra & Wizarding World Standing in the door frame, he looked, at first, to be a projection. I was pretty sure that there was no party character of Dumbledore in the world who looked as much like the real thing! But it didn’t take long for Dumbledore to step beyond the screen and into the party. With a purple cape, long hair and beard, and a phoenix resting on his arm, the kids were amazed to meet this hero. I can’t imagine a better way to make a Harry Potter party even more magical! This image is from TikTok. What people are saying Some of the young kids didn’t recognize him, but what was cool was the parents who got a kick out of it. One of the commenters said he had to take a double-take. “I had to look twice to make sure that’s not the real him,” they wrote. “Omg he looks soooooo good and like the movie one. I’m an adult but I want him on my birthday,” commented another adult fan. “As a 39 yo adult, I would be in a flood of tears.” Harry Potter has made a big impact on multiple generations of readers as a reminder that being different can be your superpower. Dumbledore is a great reminder of the wisdom of the stories! The featured image for this post is from TikTok.

These grandkids decided to give their grandparents the best surprise ever, and it worked beyond their wildest dreams! Lauren Taylor shared the sweetest video of her siblings and cousins unexpectedly showing up at their grandma and grandpa’s house. As they each arrived one by one, they pretended that they just happened to be in the area. Eventually, though, the elderly couple realized that something was up. Please be aware that there is some NSFW language in Lauren’s video. @laurentaylor2 the light bulbs rly needed to be changed. ♬ original sound – Lauren Taylor In the clip, Quinn was the first grandchild to arrive. Grandma was thrilled to see her grandson, especially since she needed his help with some chores around the house! When he was shortly followed inside by Lauren, it seemed like a happy coincidence. However, when more kids started piling into their home, these grandparents began to suspect the surprise. When the children’s mothers also showed up, the elderly couple knew there was some kind of plan involved! This surprise left these grandparents hilariously confused. At first, Grandma and Grandpa thought there might be big news on the way. Their first guess was a pregnancy announcement. When that turned out to be false, their minds jumped to a slightly darker place. “Are we dying?” Grandma joked. Eventually, the family had to spill the beans: they just wanted to get together for a nice dinner. These grandparents were absolutely thrilled by the sweet surprise! In fact, Grandma even started to cry as she realized that all her loved ones were gathered in one place just to see her. “When you get old, you cry about everything,” she laughed. Screengrab from TikTok This wholesome video has received over 29 million views online! Everyone loved the way these grandkids cooperated to surprise their grandparents. Many thought it was too funny that, since Quinn was the first to arrive, he ended up having to do chores! “Quinn regretting showing up first,” wrote one user. Another added, “I wish my grandparents were alive so I could do this. Cherish their sweet souls.” It’s safe to say that these grandparents loved their surprise. What a thoughtful group of grandkids!

If Harris is under-performing in the polls relative to the last two elections, then her actual results are likely even more devastating

'I was just not thinking creatively'

'It's no easy task'

Dems will keep trying to get rid of this

'Despite two assassination attempts'
