Trump starts to look past MAGA

Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans got a little bit of good news over the weekend with some highly respected polls coming in showing that Kamala Harris is continuing to grow a lead over Donald Trump. 

According to the NBC poll, Harris leads by five points nationally and has received a mind-boggling 16-point bump in favorability since July. NBC reports that it's “the largest increase for any politician in NBC News polling since then-President George W. Bush's standing surged after the 9/11 terrorist attacks." It appears that the more people see her, the more they like her. The CBS News Poll found Harris up 52-48 percent nationally and 51-49 percent in the battlegrounds. Importantly, the poll found that views of the economy have improved a bit and her numbers on that issue have improved with them. Those who are voting on personal qualities favor Harris 66-33% and those who are voting on "policy" are 50% for her and 50% for Trump.
