FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Voters aren’t buying Vice President Kamala Harris’ flip-flops on several key policy issues, according to a new Scott Rasmussen national survey. The RMG Research poll, released Friday by the Napolitan News Service, asked 1,000 registered voters this week about the policy views of Harris on illegal immigration, fracking, government-run health care, gun ownership, defunding the police, and an electric vehicle mandate. On issue after issue where Harris has changed her position, a majority of voters perceive her as a progressive Democrat holding the views she vocally advocated for in the past rather than a remade moderate seeking to fend off former President Donald Trump. The polling was released a day after Harris’ presidential campaign announced she is flip-flopping on yet another policy issue: a ban on plastic straws. Five years after supporting the idea, Harris now opposes it. Her latest turnabout marks a series of far-left policy reversals since Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee. Below are Rasmussen’s polling results. Illegal Immigration With the border crisis featuring prominently in the 2024 campaign, Harris recently flip-flopped on the U.S.-Mexico border wall, endorsing a proposal to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on construction after previously opposing the idea and calling it “un-American.” “Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer,” Harris wrote in 2020. Her endorsement of border security legislation either hasn’t resonated with voters or isn’t believable. Asked if Harris favors or opposes building a border wall, 55% of voters think Harris opposes the idea. Relatedly, 63% of voters said Harris is more interested in helping illegal immigrants, compared to 23% who said she wants to secure the border. Fracking Ban In the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, Harris is attempting to convince voters that she no longer wants to ban fracking, a technique used to extract oil and natural gas from underground. During her failed 2020 presidential campaign, Harris said, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” Last week, she said that’s no longer her position. “What I have seen is that we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking,” Harris told CNN. Most voters don’t believe her flip-flop. According to the RMG Research survey, 42% of respondents said Harris wants to ban fracking, compared to 26% who said she believes fracking contributes to America’s energy independence. Government-Run Health Care During her tenure as a U.S. senator from California, Harris co-sponsored Medicare for All legislation championed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Today, it’s not on her agenda. Still, 41% of voters believe Harris supports a single-payer government-run health care system like Medicare for All that abolishes private health insurance. Just 23% think otherwise. Gun Ownership Dating to her time as San Francisco’s district attorney, Harris advocated for restrictions on individual gun rights. Later, while running for president in 2019, she endorsed a “mandatory buyback program” for the government to confiscate firearms. Most voters agree that Harris is no supporter of the Second Amendment—despite recent attempts by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, her vice-presidential nominee, to appeal to gun owners. According to the poll, 53% believe Harris wants to outlaw the private ownership of guns while only 24% believe she would allow it. Defunding the Police Even on the issue of defunding the police, which became a flashpoint in America following the 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, voters don’t believe Harris’ more recent claims supporting law enforcement. Days after Floyd’s death, Harris signaled her support for defunding police and praised Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for cutting $150 million from the LAPD budget. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” Harris told a New York radio station. When confronted with the unearthed remarks, campaign surrogate Mitch Landrieu said, “Her position has always been that you can both be tough and smart on crime, and it requires funding police.” But 40% of voters still believe that Harris wants to defund police while 36% said she doesn’t. Electric Vehicle Mandate While serving as vice president, the Biden-Harris administration implemented a regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation that mandates electric vehicle sales in the United States. By 2032, just eight years from now, 70% of new cars must be battery-powered electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. Critics have complained the rule benefits China, where an estimated 80% of EV batteries are made. The Harris campaign this week claimed she “does not support an electric vehicle mandate”—despite the administration’s regulation and her previous support for legislation to do just that. Nearly two-thirds of voters, 65%, believe Harris would actively promote EVs and phase out the sale of gas-powered cars, compared to 14% who say she wouldn’t. The RMG Research survey was conducted Sept. 4-5 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Reolink is one of the hottest brands in the smart home security market, and things are about to get even hotter. The company has a big presence at IFA Berlin 2024, one of the world's largest and most important consumer electronics shows. At the show, Reolink is unveiling an exciting rebrand as well as several groundbreaking new products. People in attendance at IFA this year can visit Reolink at Hall 1.2, Booth 308, from September 6-10. For everyone else, we'll tell you all about the company's big announcements at this year's show. ? NEW LAUNCHES See Reolink's latest smart security cameras on the company's site! BGR readers know that I'm a big fan of Reolink. Reolink battery cameras beat other brands in my book, and I couldn't be happier that I switched. Plus, as you've read in my Reolink PoE camera system review, I've been all-in on the company's PoE cameras since 2022. Of course, Reolink has been a market leader for much longer than that. Reolink is rebranding Reolink has been making innovative smart security solutions for 15 years now. More recently, the company has become a clear leader in the space. Reolink says it has seen compound annual growth of 86.6% over the past six years, which is remarkable. Now, the company is marking the occasion at IFA 2024 with a major rebrand and several exciting new product launches. "It is much more than just changing the logo, color, and typeface. It's about ensuring that more people understand our beliefs, core values, and how they can support you and your family for a better life," said Reolink's marketing manager, Fabrice Klohoun. "And that's why we bring to life our latest product, the Altas PT Ultra. The industry-leading 4K UHD continuous recording battery camera perfectly embodies Reolink's new brand promise 'Be Prepared, Be Ahead' and showcases our latest technology breakthrough." Reolink's new branding can already be seen on the company's website and across its social media profiles. I think "Be Prepared, Be Ahead" is a terrific new motto for Reolink. Smart home security systems are all about preparedness, after all. Plus, Reolink's security cameras are always ahead of the pack, as evidenced by the new launches that the company has lined up for IFA 2024. New product launches: Atlas PT Ultra and more In addition to its big rebranding campaign, Reolink is showing off four exciting new products this year at IFA 2024. All of them are impressive and innovative, but the new Atlas PT Ultra is clearly the star of the show. Atlas PT Ultra Image source: Reolink Pictured above, the Reolink Atlas PT Ultra is the company's latest and greatest flagship battery camera. This new model raises the bar in the industry with class-leading features like 4K UHD continuous recording, ColorX night vision, and a massive 20,000 mAh battery. It's obviously unheard of to have a battery-powered security camera that offers continuous recording. Battery size is a limitation because constant recording is a big drain on power. Since the Atlas PT Ultra has a huge 20,000 mAh battery, it's the first camera in the home security industry that supports continuous recording on battery power. With this model, you can continuously record 12 hours per day for up to eight days before needing to recharge. If you don't want continuous recording, then the battery life on this new model is truly jaw-dropping. With a regular motion event-based recording schedule, the Reolink Atlas PT Ultra delivers mind-blowing battery life of up to 16 months per charge! The Altas PT Ultra is also the first battery camera in the home security industry to support pre-recording. Thanks to Reolink's next-generation System-on-Chip (SoC), the camera can capture 10 seconds of footage before a motion event actually happens. The camera constantly caches video recordings, but it only saves them permanently if a PIR motion sensor event is triggered. That means you never have to deal with missing important footage at the beginning of a motion event, like you do with other battery cameras. Other noteworthy features on the new Reolink Atlas PT Ultra include panning, tilt, motion auto-tracking, IP65 weatherproofing, and ColorX night vision, which is the best color night vision technology in the industry. The 360° Blindspot-free View is particularly significant because it's a feature that's typically only found on PoE cameras, not battery cameras. The Atlas PT Ultra has 355° pan and 90° tilt capabilities, so you'll never have to worry about blind spots. Here's a full rundown of this new model's key features: 4K UHD Continuous Recording Day and Night Color Vision All-angle Pan and Tilt 360° Blindspot-free View Enhanced Smart Detection with Auto-Tracking All Recordings Stored Locally & Securely with No Subscription Fees Real-time Monitoring and Instant Access Easy Installation Everywhere Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 Network 24-Hour Operation in Just 10 Mins of Solar Panel Charging The Reolink Atlas PT Ultra will be available in North America, Europe, and Australia beginning September 25. Home Hub Pro and Argus 4 Pro Image source: Reolink In addition to the flagship Atlas PT Ultra, Reolink also has three other new products that are being showcased at IFA 2024. Reolink's Home Hub Pro is a higher-end version of the original Home Hub. It supports up to 24 Reolink cameras instead of eight, and it comes with a built-in 2TB hard drive. This new model also supports Wi-Fi 6, and it carries no subscription or monthly fees. You can learn more about the Home Hub Pro on Relink's site. Also on display at IFA Berlin 2024 is the Argus 4 Pro, which is already available for purchase. This class-leading camera is a rarity in that it's a battery-powered 4K security camera with dual lenses that provide an eye-popping 180-degree field of view. You can learn more about all these new products — as well as Reolink's other IFA 2024 plans and its big rebranding campaign — on the Reolink website. ?
