In the latest episode of America’s favorite political soap opera, the polls are in, and the results are as dramatic as ever. The Wall Street Journal’s latest polling data shows President Donald “Dodgin’ Bullets” Trump narrowly leading Kamala Harris in the race for the White House.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is sitting pretty at 49%, while Harris trails just behind at 47%. This poll, conducted between July 23 and July 25 with 1,000 registered voters, paints a picture of a nation divided but leaning ever so slightly towards Trump. Meanwhile, the HarrisX/Forbes online poll tells a similar story: Trump at 47% and Harris at 45%.
If Trump’s numbers keep rising Democrats will replace Harris too. These Democrats will eat their very own for power! Trump Is Absolutely Smoking Kamala in Latest Rasmussen Poll https://t.co/oyNe1Ts8YI

President Trump, ever the media magnet, has been dodging both real and metaphorical bullets left and right. Whether it’s legal challenges, media scrutiny, or the never-ending barrage of public opinion, he seems to thrive on the chaos. His nickname might as well be “The Teflon Don,” because nothing sticks, much like Reagan who also wore that nickname.
On the flip side, Kamala Harris is having a rough go of it. Fresh off the heels of Joe Biden withdrawing his candidacy and giving her his endorsement, you’d think she’d have momentum on her side. The Reuters/Ipsos poll even showed her leading Trump by two points earlier this week. But alas, subsequent surveys flipped the script, revealing a reversed ratio and leaving Harris struggling to dodge her own set of challenges—namely, garnering enough support to stay competitive.
Biden’s decision to step down was met with overwhelming approval; 81% of respondents in the HarrisX/Forbes poll supported his choice to exit the race. Yet, despite this wave of goodwill, Harris has not been able to convert sentiment into solid poll numbers. It appears the liberal media is bending over backward to spin this in her favor, but the numbers don’t lie—or do they? In an age where “fake news” is the rallying cry, who can trust the polls anyway?
As we barrel toward Election Day, the suspense builds. Will Trump maintain his narrow lead? Can Harris rally enough support to make a comeback? Let’s hope for the first option.
