The latest polling out of the crucial swing state of Michigan shows former President Donald Trump leading incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris by a single point.
In a race that includes third-party candidates, Trump leads CacklyMcNeverBorderCzar 46 to 45 percent.
In a two-way race, Trump still leads, 47 to 46 percent.
The poll, taken after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump, also shows Harris and Trump with statistically equal favorable/unfavorable ratings. Harris sits at 46 to 49 percent favorable/unfavorable, while Trump sits at 46 to 49 percent.
In Michigan’s race for the U.S. Senate, Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin earns 48 percent of the vote, while her Republican challenger Mike Rogers sits at 42 percent support. That leaves 12 percent undecided.
Slotkin might enjoy a six-point lead, but she is under 50 percent and well-known in Michigan. If Rogers can juice his name ID, he is within striking distance.
In the RealClearPolitics average poll of Michigan polls, Harris enjoys a 1.7 point lead.
As I have said before, and now believe even more after Kamala’s disastrous CNN interview, that girl has likely peaked. She enjoyed six uninterrupted weeks with billions and billions of dollars in free corporate media cheerleading. She enjoyed the highs of her own announcement, the Tim Walz announcement, and her convention. Sure, anything can happen over the next 60 days, but that is likely as good as it gets for her.
The woman who appeared on CNN Thursday night did not look ready for primetime. She has no confidence, no real vision, and looked like someone showing up for a job interview with her dad (Walz).

This is not sustainable.
Her comment on CNN about how her values haven’t changed will haunt her in ad after ad.
And how will the woman who looked so intimidated by CNN’s Chief Kamala Cheerleader Dana Bash hold up in the upcoming presidential debate?
Kamala Harris cannot handle pressure, which is why she choked on CNN.
I’m not making any predictions here. Kamala can still win, no question. But if you game out the next 60 days, the winds do not favor her.
If Harris falls behind in the polling, the only way to dig herself out will be by doing media interviews. That’s when we could see a real doom loop. There is no there there. We are now entering the stage of the campaign where voters will begin to realize that.
