GOP pollster on Trump-Harris: ‘I haven’t seen anything like this’’
Republican pollster Frank Luntz appears stunned at the current state of the Kamala Harris-Donald Trump matchup and this year’s presidential election.
Luntz, who’s been called “The Nostradamus of pollsters” and conducts focus groups, had been bullish on Trump defeating Joe Biden and returning to the White House. Now, he says, he can’t believe what he’s seeing among his focus groups and in the polls.
“She’s bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden, so the entire electoral pool has changed and if it continues in this direction you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House,” Luntz said Wednesday on CNBC.

I see two more things happening.
Arizona has an abortion rights measure on the ballot this year and when that happened in Ohio voters turned out that hadn’t voted in years - if ever. While they’re there these same voters may well decide to vote for Harris/Walz and maybe mark D all the way down the ticket.
Ohio has an anti gerrymandering measure this year and it seems to be very popular. Maybe the same thing will happen.
