Noelle King:Kamala Harris的演讲虽然简短直接,但成功地展现了她作为一位普通、负责、务实的美国人的形象,并巧妙地回应了来自特朗普的攻击。她分享了个人成长经历,展现了其家庭价值观和服务人民的理念。演讲并非空洞无物,而是试图介绍自己并展现其个人背景和国家愿景。人们对演讲的评价往往取决于他们对演讲者的政治立场。 Sean Rameswaram:Kamala Harris的公众形象和支持率在近期有了显著提升,她的个人魅力和公众形象对她的竞选活动至关重要。目前她在民主党内的支持率很高,并被视为有力的总统候选人。 Mike Podhorzer:关注选举结果的长期影响比关注短期民调结果更重要。关注少数几个关键州的选举结果比关注全国范围的民调结果更重要。需要让选民意识到特朗普当选的危险性及其潜在的政策后果,并让选民相信Kamala Harris是一位合格的总统候选人。需要强调特朗普的不靠谱以及其再次当选的严重后果,以及其危险性在于其当选后可能造成的损害,而不是其个人形象。这种策略在关键州是有效的,2022年中期选举的结果证明了这种策略的有效性。除了积极投票的选民,还需要争取那些不经常投票的选民,需要强调他们不投票可能造成的损失,这些选民的投票动机并非公民责任感,而是对自身利益的担忧。人们过度关注民调结果,而忽视了自身努力的重要性。选举结果取决于双方付出的努力,而不是民调结果。 一位观众:Kamala Harris和Joe Biden的竞选组合将改变世界,并推动国家进步。
