GOP Pollster Can't Find Uncommitted Women Under 27 For Focus Group

It's Frank Luntz, so we can take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt, but this is not good news for Donald Trump.

Here's his conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin, after Sorkin discussed some polling that showed Trump could even be having some problems defending Texas.

LUNTZ: She's bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden, so the entire electoral pool has changed, and if it continues in this direction, you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House.

The actual people who are participating, she's got intensity now. She's got an intensity advantage. She's got a demographic advantage. And I haven't seen anything like this happen in 30 days in my lifetime.

REPORTER: How big is that mark that marginal extra voter that she's bringing in? I mean, how much does that change the pool?

LUNTZ: One percent, maybe two. That's it. But that's enough.

SORKIN: Can I just ask you, though, about the veracity, frankly, of the polls right now? Because you go back and look, and there was an interesting report yesterday showing that if you look at where Donald Trump was in terms of what what the polling showed is back in 2016.
