Renowned pollster Frank Luntz revealed the exact moment Kamala Harris lost herself the election.
During a CNN interview Wednesday, Luntz, also known as The Nostradamus of pollsters, said the Democratic nominee was doing well in the polls until she froze after focusing her attention on Donald Trump.
She had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history, Luntz said.
And then the moment she turned anti-Trump and focused on him and said "dont vote for me, vote against him." Thats when everything froze.
Luntz added that Trump is defined as he is not gaining and not losing in the election, while his opponent is less well defined.

And if she continues just to define this race as "vote against Trump," shes gonna stay where she is now and she may lose, Luntz added.
The following day Luntz told NewsNation that the winner will most likely be decided by uncommitted voters.
I think at this moment, in terms of committed, Trump has the advantage.
In terms of the ceiling of potential vote, Harris has the advantage, which is why I stay away from any projections. I don’t know, he said, adding that the election is not a game anymore.
A bombshell new poll revealed that Harris is falling behind how Joe Biden performed in 2020.
A Saturday poll from New York Times/Siena College found that overall, Harris is ahead of Trump 66 percent to 27 percent among likely voters in New York City.
But thats 11 points behind President Biden, who earned 76 percent of the vote in NYC compared to Trumps 23 percent in the last presidential election.
With just eight days until the 2024 election, Harris admitted that she is not good at thinking on her feet following the CNN town hall last week where she joined Anderson Cooper in swing state Pennsylvania.
Retail worker Joe Donahue asked the vice president what weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them? at the live event on Wednesday.
Harris, 60, replied that she is may not be quick to have the answer about a specific policy issue sometimes because she likes to research it first.
Im going to want to study it. Im kind of a nerd sometimes, I confess, Harris said.
Some might call that a weakness, especially if you’re in an interview or just kind of being asked a certain question, and you’re expected to have the right answer right away. But thats how I work.
Despite launching her presidential campaign on an optimistic note, Harris has recently been attacking her Republican opponent, including labeling him a fascist and comparing him to Hitler.
She unleashed the scathing attack on Trump last week as she spoke outside her home at the U.S. Naval Observatory.
During her speech, the vice president cited an interview Trumps former chief of staff John Kelly gave to the New York Times where he said Trump often spoke admirably of Hitler when he was in the White House.
Despite launching her presidential campaign on an optimistic note, Harris has recently been attacking her Republican opponent, including labeling him a fascist and comparing him to Hitler
It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler - the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews, Harris said.
Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable and, in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guard rails against his propensities and his actions.
So the bottom line is this, we know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?
This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side-by-side in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room and it is clear from John Kellys words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote, certainly falls into the general definition of a fascist, Harris added.
Trumps comments have been previously reported, but usually by anonymous sources, given that protection so the former president didnt target them.
But now Kelly, who served on Trumps staff from 2017 to 2019, went on the record with his concerns.
Following Harris claim that Trump wished to rule as a fascist, New York City Mayor Eric Adams harshly criticized her for that response and asked her to tone it down. (Pictured: Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday)
He told the New York Times that Trump meets the definition of fascist and claimed the former president does not have an understanding of American history or the Constitution.
Kelly, 74, alleged that Trump once said Hitler did some good things and praised the Nazi dictator for having rebuilt the economy.
Kelly also revealed that Trump said he wanted his staff to be more like German generals in World War II because they were totally loyal to Hitler.
Following Harris claim that Trump wished to rule as a fascist, New York City Mayor Eric Adams harshly criticized her for that response in a press conference Saturday.
I have had those comments hurled at me by some political leaders in the city; my answer is No, Adams said.
He slammed comparisons of Trump to the likes of Adolf Hitler and asked Harris to tone it down.
I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature, he added.
Recently concerns have sparked for Democrats who are now wondering if Harris has let her momentum in the 2024 race completely slip away.
A murderers row of bad PR for the Harris campaign this week featured continued tanking in the polls, a widely panned CNN town hall, Donald Trump beating her to the Joe Rogan bump and even fellow Democrats slamming her rhetoric.
Following an exclusive town hall with CNNs Anderson Cooper in swing state Pennsylvania, left-leaning panelists ripped Harris after she failed to provide clear answers on both domestic and foreign policy, and trademark meandering
Harris now trails Trump in the polling average in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Real Clear Politics.
Fear is now gripping Harris campaign and the vibes are draining away as prominent Democratic lawmakers, as well as the liberal media, have been forced to publicly acknowledge the campaign is faltering at the final hurdle.
One Democratic strategist admitted to The Hill: Yes, its close, but are things trending our way? No. And no one wants to openly admit that. Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even slightly optimistic right now? No.
While some noted that Harris is taking risks like partnering with Liz Cheney and holding rallies in red Texas in the waning weeks of the campaign, another strategist put it bluntly: If this is a vibe election, the current vibes aint great.
