While you are correct it is a warning sign that Kamala is not winning against a man who has 100% name recognition, about whom everyone has an opinion, and that opinion is majority negative.

It is perhaps a worse indictment that Trump has about even odds of loosing to a vapid duo who are essentially real life people and cartoon caricatures of themselves at the same time.

The big difference IMO is that Harris has 95% of the mainstream media in her favor, so low information voters don't ever get the whole story. That's a really big thumb on the scale.

There are two types of low information voters, ideologues who will vote Democrat because (pick a logically flawed argument), and Independents who simply do not have the time or desire to engage in politics until is time to vote.

The former is lost, the MSM simply reenforces their flawed thinking the reality of their daily life not withstanding.

The later recognizes their daily life has been negatively impacted for the last 3 1/2 years and it was better under Trump. They also want someone who "cares about them".

Trump is doing a great job of actually connecting with these people; better late than never.

There are 5 tones of emotion

Anger

Respect

Formal

Superiority

Boredom

Only the first two are mature adult tones.

The other 3 are childish and manipulative.

Kamala, unless you are a shallow vapid person, comes across like daycare worker talking to 10 year olds. She uses the other three to manipulate.
