Newsmax host says polls showing Harris ahead are 'dangerous’

From the moment she entered the race, polls began moving in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. However, according to far-right outlet Newsmax, reporting that Harris is ahead is “almost like election meddling.”

As Media Matters for America reported on Tuesday, Newsmax host Rob Schmitt is concerned about letting Americans see Harris’ good numbers. 

“I think that when you put a poll out there that makes it look like Kamala is doing well,” Schmitt said, “it creates the idea in a lot of people's minds that aren't intelligent enough to think for themselves that ‘Oh, she must be better than I think she is.’”

“I mean, this kind of polling, in my opinion, is dangerous,” he continued, “and it's almost like election meddling in a way to put a poll out there like that and have it this skewed.”

Except it’s not “a poll.” It’s pretty much every poll put out recently.
