Surely she should be able to easily win a poll of literal children?

Nickelodeon’s “Kids Pick the President” Poll: A Leftist Indoctrination Tool?
Well, folks, it seems the liberal media’s tentacles have reached even the realm of children’s entertainment. Nickelodeon, once known for slime and SpongeBob, has now decided to dabble in political punditry with their so-called “Kids Pick the President” poll. And surprise, surprise – the results lean left.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the queen of word salads and border avoidance, managed to squeak out a win against former President Donald Trump. With 52% of the vote to Trump’s 48%, it’s clear that even in the world of make-believe elections, the left is working overtime to push their agenda.

The “Non-Scientific” Smokescreen
Now, before you start wondering if Nickelodeon has replaced its famous green slime with some sort of mind-control substance, they’ve been quick to emphasize that this poll is “non-scientific” and “meant for entertainment purposes only.” Oh, how convenient. It’s just a game, folks! Nothing to see here!
But let’s not kid ourselves. When you’re dealing with impressionable young minds, even “entertainment” can shape perceptions. And with over 32,000 kids participating in this little experiment, that’s a lot of future voters getting their first taste of political engagement through a decidedly left-leaning lens.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Despite the left’s best efforts to paint Trump as the boogeyman, his numbers in this kiddie poll have actually improved. In 2016, he only managed to snag 36% of the vote against Hillary Clinton. This time around, he’s up to 48%. That’s a 12-point jump, folks. It seems even the youngest among us are starting to see through the smoke and mirrors.
This surge in Trump’s popularity among the juice box crowd should have the Democrats shaking in their designer boots. If they can’t maintain a comfortable lead in a children’s TV poll, how on earth do they expect to fare in the real world where adults actually understand the consequences of their votes?
Surely Harris should have easily won in a poll of children? Literal children? If she can’t win the youth, there’s not much hope for the future for Democrats. Maybe that’s why they’re so obsessed with importing millions of new voters.
