National polls are tightening and support for Vice President Kamala Harris could be waning, pollster John Zogby told Newsmax on Monday.
Zogby, appearing on "American Agenda," noted that in battleground states, "We're at a tie and momentum is not with Kamala Harris right now, simply because, at the very least, I think the novelty has worn off. She got herself a nice honeymoon. She was a different voice. She changed the conversation.
"But from the very beginning, after the honeymoon, as well, the pressure has been on to get specific. And, you know, there have been cliches you know, about an 'opportunity society' and that sort of thing. On the other hand, people are looking for specifics. Not the least of which is ... what is going to be different about you? Where is the change?
"And I think at the moment, anyway, there's still some time left, but at the moment she has ceded the mantle of change over to Donald Trump. That's not a good position for her to be in."
Recent ABC, CBS, and NBC polls show Harris and former President Donald Trump deadlocked in the seven key swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, with Trump leading by 1 or 2 percentage points in all but Nevada.
But what that means come Nov. 5, is anyone's guess, Zogby said. "Even a 2-point lead in Arizona, a 1-point lead ties. This is a tie. You know we are at equilibrium. We have no idea the direction things are going to going," he said.
"Campaign is going to be very important. There's no way to predict or even project on the basis of these numbers what's going to happen. We're at a tie right now."
