So far, he's been eating his own lunch. Every time he opens his mouth, his numbers fall.
That is just the result of of a successful gaslighting campaign which will come to an end. Kamala and Walz will eventually have answer some real questions and quit running around like rock stars. Be patient the masks will come off.
They tried gaslighting Walz, and it backfired. For example, Vance tried the "stolen valor" slur against Walz, and only succeeded in angering veterans.

Well not all veterans take that view. Be patient you will see what an “Ivy League” education can do in a debate.They tried gaslighting Walz, and it backfired. For example, Vance tried the "stolen valor" slur against Walz, and only succeeded in angering veterans.
JD Vance Blasted by Military Vets for Tim Walz Attack
Walz spent 24 years in the National Guard, rising to command sergeant major, one of the top ranks for an enlisted soldier. He left the Guard in 2005, months before the battalion he led was notified that they were to be deployed to Iraq. Walz previously said his decision to retire was due to him deciding to run for Congress.
Vance served in the Marine Corps for four years, although he never saw combat. He served as combat correspondent in Iraq between August 2005 and February 2006.

"Well, I wonder Tim Walz, when were you ever in war? What was this weapon that you carried into war given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq and he has not spent a day in a combat zone," Vance said.
...
Retired lieutenant general Mark Hertling, a former commander of American ground forces in Europe, posted on X: "It's unbecoming and unprofessional for anyone—especially veterans—to openly disparage anyone who has served in uniform.
"I'm personally very thankful for all who have worn the cloth of our country—for any amount of time—and who have served in our professional force."
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a former Navy combat pilot and astronaut who was on the shortlist to be named Harris' running mate, posted: "Hey JD Vance, did you forget what the USMC taught you about respect?
"Tim Walz spent DECADES in uniform. You both deserve to be thanked for your service. Don't become Donald Trump. He calls veterans suckers and losers and that is beneath those of us who have actually served."
Brandon Friedman, a former Obama administration official who was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, wrote: "No veteran who supports Walz believes he abandoned his unit. No veteran who opposes Walz believes he abandoned his unit.
"It's a dishonest political attack meant to influence people who don't know about the military. The guy simply retired after 24 years before his unit deployed."
Alexander Vindman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, added: "Let's be clear, you served honorably, including 6 months in combat in a public affairs unit. Walz retired after 24 years and achieved the rank of command Sergeant Major. I do not think you want to compare service records."
...
Walz was previously criticized by his political opponents for retiring from the National Guard before it was deployed to Iraq during his campaign for Minnesota governor in 2018.
Joseph Eustice, a 32-year veteran of the guard who led the same battalion as Walz, defended Walz at the time.
"He was a great soldier," Eustice told the Star Tribune. "When he chose to leave, he had every right to leave."
JD Vance blasted by military vets for Tim Walz attack—"Unbecoming"
Donald Trump's running mate accused his Democratic opponent of "stolen valor" and of "abandoning" his National Guard unit.
Vance is evidence that an Ivy League education doesn't necessarily mean one is smart.
Good to hear that Ivy League universities are no longer elitist liberal indoctrination centers.
Notice that Trump is the first republican presidential candidate to lose the military vote since whoever last lost to Roosevelt. We know what he thinks of us.
Vance is such a great debater, he's been beating himself regularly.
I don't think "you are all lying" is a very effective response to all those veterans.
He's learning the ropes from Trump, that's for sure...

JD Vance thinks polls showing surge of Harris support are "fake"
In a Fox News interview on Sunday, Vance was asked to comment on "a rough couple of weeks for his campaign," as described by Mediaite, and New York Times/Siena polling indicating that "Harris is now leading Trump among likely voters in Arizona, 50 percent to 45 percent, and has even edged ahead Trump in North Carolina — a state Trump won four years ago — while narrowing his lead significantly in Georgia and Nevada,” and his reply went down a familiar path — that it's fake news, according to him.
Vance stated his opinion to host Shannon Bream that surveys “tend to radically overstate Democrats," and that their own calculations show the “sugar high” that Harris' campaign is experiencing to be “leveling off.”
“Consistently what you’ve seen in 2016 and 2020, is that the media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict within Republican voters,” Vance said. “The Trump campaign is in a very, very good spot."
As Axios points out in their coverage of Vance's claim, "The polls aren't always accurate, but they certainly aren't fake," highlighting that "nearly every major pollster has shown Harris surging," maintaining a 6-point lead, 51% to 45%.

Do you think the poll results are somehow fixed, or that the results are being misreported? Either way, I don't see how you could come to such a conclusion. These things have been accurate - and accurately reported - for many years.
