As the article explains, a closer look shows a surge for Harris in specific groups, such as adults under 40 and black voters, and states, “Trump’s support, meanwhile, drops from 42 percent of adults in this age group to 33 percent of those likely to vote.”
While ABC appears to be celebrating these numbers, there’s more to the story. Conveniently missing from the article was any mention of key polling details like sample size, margin of error, or when exactly the poll was conducted. These are the kind of crucial facts that give a poll its credibility.
If you thought the polling irregularities stopped there, think again. As it turns out, the numbers cited in ABC’s Monday report aren’t from any recent data. Washington Examiner’s Byron York called them out, stating, “Posted this morning, this appears to be based on an ABC poll conducted August 23-27. ABC didn’t do a new poll to set the stage for its own debate?” He rightfully pointed out that the poll was conducted weeks ago, and using outdated data to sway public opinion just before a debate doesn’t sit well with the public.
Other voices across social media joined the chorus of skepticism. Even Rusty Weiss from The Political Insider was flabbergasted. “Holy s***, you rubes,” Weiss commented, “This poll was conducted last month. And new polls – even left-leaning ones – now show Trump back in the lead.”
It doesn’t take a media expert to recognize the timing of this report is more than suspect.
This curious timing and the decision to rehash outdated data raise a bigger question: Is ABC News attempting to create a favorable narrative for Harris ahead of the debate? There’s more than enough reason to believe so.
If this had been the only case of ABC News playing favorites leading up to the debate, it might have been written off as a simple mistake. But the truth is, it’s just the latest incident in a growing list of biased moves by the network. One of the more troubling reports to surface is that ABC allegedly gave Harris’ team “assurances” that certain rules would be bent in her favor.

While ABC has denied these claims, the fact that this story even exists speaks volumes. It’s not just the narrative ABC is pushing — it’s how deep the bias seems to go. After all, the idea of bending debate rules for Harris seems shockingly plausible, given the network’s track record.
Speaking of bias, ABC’s debate moderator Linsey Davis is another source of concern. The same Linsey Davis who once linked Trump to the Ku Klux Klan during an interview. Davis’ previous comments raise red flags about her ability to moderate the debate fairly and without prejudice. A debate moderator should bring impartiality and neutrality to the table, but that’s hard to expect here.
If you’re starting to get the sense that Trump is walking into a heavily biased setup on Tuesday night, you’re not alone.
Taken individually, these incidents might seem like minor infractions or easily dismissible as simple mistakes. But when you piece it all together — the rehashing of an outdated poll, the debate moderator’s past comments, and the swirling allegations of favoritism towards Harris — the picture becomes much clearer. This is not just about poor journalism. This is about the media actively working to shape a narrative, one where Kamala Harris emerges as the victor before the debate has even started.
It’s hard not to wonder how fair this debate will truly be. With the media seemingly doing everything in its power to tilt the scales in favor of the Democratic nominee, the debate may feel more like a coronation than a contest.
And as always, it’s the American people who are left to sift through the bias and figure out the truth for themselves.
