John Nolte of Breitbart Information makes an important level about this newest spherical of polling:
The most recent polls don’t consider the revelations about Democrat vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz’s (MN) questionable service document. Veterans who served within the Minnesota Nationwide Guard with Walz are making credible allegations of stolen valor towards the Democrat Minnesota governor.
Walz has repeatedly claimed he went to “battle.” He didn’t. When his unit was warned about being known as as much as Iraq, Walz abruptly determined to retire and run for Congress. On Wednesday, the Minnesota Nationwide Guard additionally confirmed Walz’s official bio inflated his rank.
Polls in direction of the top of subsequent week ought to replicate the brand new revelations about Tim Walz and his stolen valor. It’ll be fascinating to see what sort of impact he has on Harris’s marketing campaign.
