Frank Luntz: Trump’s Personality Hurts Poll Numbers Against Harris, Who Leads by One on Economy

Republican pollster Frank Luntz has indicated that while former President Donald Trump holds strong positions on key issues, his personality is negatively impacting his poll numbers against Vice President Kamala Harris. Luntz emphasized that if the election were solely about issues, Trump would have an advantage. He also noted that Harris's slight lead over Trump on economic matters is particularly concerning, referring to it as an 'oh my god statistic.' In light of these dynamics, there is increasing pressure from top Republicans for Trump to tone down his personal attacks on Harris and refocus on policy discussions. Allies are urging Trump to return to the campaign trail with a more issue-oriented approach, moving away from what some have described as 'childish' attacks.
