\u201cNo one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby,\u201d said Public Information Officer Sgt. Ryan Cook.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetectives are currently analyzing evidence collected at the scene, and additional measures have been taken to beef up security for staff and others in the area, cops said.\u00a0Staff workers arrived at the office on Monday and reported what appeared to be gunshots fired through the front windows.\u00a0It\u2019s the second time that criminal damage has been reported at the office in as many weeks,\u201d according to AZCentral<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJust after midnight on Sept. 16, the front windows were shot with what appears to be a BB gun or pellet gun, according to police.\u00a0No arrests have been made in either incident. Authorities are investigating all possible motives,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n This comes as polling has not been great for Harris.<\/p>\n Some Democratic senators have expressed concerns that support for Trump is being underrepresented in polling data, as has been the case during the past two presidential election cycles.<\/p>\n After Trump outperformed polling projections in both 2016 and 2020, Democrats told The Hill<\/a> that the 2024 election is expected to be close, regardless of current poll numbers.<\/p>\n As of Monday afternoon, Trump trails Harris by 2.2 points nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics average. This margin is narrower than Biden\u2019s lead over Trump at this point in 2020 (7 points) and Hillary Clinton\u2019s lead over Trump in 2016 (3 points).<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s ominous,\u201d said one anonymous Democratic senator while discussing how Trump appears to be performing better in the polls against Harris. \u201cThere\u2019s no question that is concerning, but you\u2019re working as hard as you can work, no matter what. My sense there\u2019s not a lot more you can do than we\u2019re already doing.\u201d<\/p>\n The senator added that he believes undercounting support for Trump may be due to people feeling \u201cembarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMost of what he preaches, most of us have taught our children to try to not be that way on the playground,\u201d the senator said. \u201cSo there\u2019s a certain amount of reluctance to admit I\u2019m going to vote for somebody whose conduct I tell my children is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n That remark comes as most Democrats have been painting Trump as a \u201cthreat to democracy\u201d after labeling him a \u201cNazi,\u201d a \u201cfascist,\u201d a \u201cracist,\u201d and a \u201cbigot\u201d \u2014 among other names \u2014 for years. He and his supporters have blamed Democratic rhetoric for the two assassination attempts against him.<\/p>\n Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), meanwhile, has warned against putting any stock in polls, arguing, \u201cPolling has really been seriously damaged since 2016. And that\u2019s one of the truths, is that Trump is going to be tough in Pennsylvania, and that\u2019s absolutely the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) said of his battleground state \u201cthe only poll that matters is Nov. 5.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe know this election is going to be close. It\u2019s going to be close in the battleground states, including Georgia, which is why I\u2019m doing everything I can to make sure we put Georgia in our column,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only poll that matters is Nov. 5, right?\u201d He added: \u201cWe talk about margin of error for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n Another Democratic senator who spoke to The Hill on the condition of anonymity said, \u201cI don\u2019t think any poll right now means much of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFiguring out the turnout is the hardest thing out there. This cycle there may be a surprise Trump vote and a surprise Harris vote,\u201d Democratic pollster Celinda Lake told The Hill. \u201cI, too, share the concern that there are going to be some surprises. What accentuates my concern is when you poll people who have not voted in \u201920 but are planning to vote today, they are disproportionately Trump voters.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf you look at first-time voters who didn\u2019t vote in \u201920, they are leaning toward Trump and they\u2019re very low information and they like his kind of style,\u201d Lake added. \u201cAnd they like Elon Musk and they like a lot of things like that. I worry about that. I think it\u2019s definitely a concern, and I think we just have to get enough margin to compensate for that.\u201d<\/p>\n Pennsylvania is shaping up to be perhaps the most important swing state this election cycle, and both candidates have spent a lot of time campaigning there. Earlier this month, Trump told<\/a> a Pennsylvania crowd that residents had \u201cno choice\u201d but to cast a ballot for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cNo one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby,\u201d said Public Information Officer Sgt.
