The Harvard Harris poll conducted online between May 17-18 among 2,004 registered voters has some fascinating takeaways that don’t look good for Joe Biden and the Democratic narrative pushed by the liberal media.
Most believe that the Trump-Russia collusion and the Steele Dossier are fake stories.
To start:
Majorities of Americans say it’s *false* that Trump colluded with Russia. The Steele Dossier is also “false.”
In other words, they view the story the US media aggressively centered for 3 years as a hoax and a fraud, yet NBC and CNN won’t even air this view.

Most also believe the Hunter Biden laptop is real and not Russian disinformation.
Americans also believe that the materials on the Hunter Biden laptop are real, and are not and never were “Russian disinformation.”
So again, Americans view the claim that the US corporate media and CIA spread for weeks before the 2020 election – to help Biden win – as a fraud.

Most also believe that Joe Biden participated in the influence peddling.
Majorties of Americans also believe:
* Hunter Biden engaged in criminal influence peddling using his father’s name.
* The FBI is not investigating these crimes.
* Joe Biden participated in Hunter’s illegal influence peddling and profiteering schemes.

Voters are also very concerned about what the FBI did regarding Trump, are concerned about the interference in elections from FBI and intel agencies, and think sweeping reform is needed.
*Large majorities* of Americans say they are not surprised to learn the FBI abused it power in the 2016 Trum/Russia probe to help Biden.
*Large majorities* also say they are deeply worried about the US Security State’s manipulation of US politics, and sweeping reform is needed.

The poll also shows that Biden is in deep trouble because large majorities of people think he’s not mentally fit and he’s too old. The poll also has Donald Trump beating him by 7 points and Kamala Harris by 11. Those are pretty big numbers, but people can remember that they had it much better under Trump than under Biden/Harris, and they can see what a mess Biden is now.
Large majorities of Americans have serious doubts about Biden’s mental fitness to be President, and believe he is too old.
Unsurprisingly, then, Trump leads Biden by 7 points for 2024, and Kamala Harris by 11 points.
Can the media be more out-of-touch?

How bad are things for Biden? Only 40 percent of Democrats say they would vote for him in the primary and only half think he’s going to win the primary. That should be a huge yikes if that’s even anywhere close to the truth. Strangely the poll doesn’t include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is polling at around 20 percent, on the list of choices in a primary versus Biden.
Only 40% of Dem voters say they intend to vote for Biden *in the Dem primary.”
For whatever reason, the poll excluded the challenger near 20%: RFK, Jr.
But even many Dems say Biden lacks mental fitness and they don’t want to vote for him.

Even on the debt ceiling discussions it doesn’t look good for Biden. Most voters think that Democrats should negotiate and yield to the GOP to avoid default. They also think GOP should hold out for spending constraints and that they would improve the health of the U.S. government.

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Ron DeSantis are the most favorable political figures, in that order, all of whom are polling better than Biden. Even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is doing better than Biden.
The 3 political figures who are viewed most favorably by Americans are Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis (Berne is next).
Musk has by far the highest favorability gap (+14). AOC’s is -13, Mitch McConnell -24.
Tim Scott and Vivek are +7.

In the GOP primary, the poll showed Trump widening his lead on Ron DeSantis and the rest of the field. He’s at 58 percent, with DeSantis at 16 percent, and the rest still further back.

In a head-to-head, Trump is up 65 percent to DeSantis 35 percent.

DeSantis’ numbers against Biden or Harris are only even, according to the poll.
— Dr. Nickarama (@nickaramaOG) May 21, 2023
Now DeSantis hasn’t announced yet and those numbers may go up once he does, but so far they haven’t.
I’ll add my obligatory “it’s a poll” and “we’re still far out” admonition. But the Biden team has to be choking when they look at numbers like that and see that the media truly has failed in their task as scriptwriters for the Democratic narrative. Americans are just not buying it.
Donald after the townhall really came off well.
Can we win on the fact that. Biden’s so crappy? Didn’t help enough in ‘22.
The MSM won’t help. Too many brain dead. Making them wake up is the task at hand.
In the trump vs Biden poll, 13 percent don’t know. Both have overall unfavorables. In trump vs DeSantis, there are no undecided and DeSantis is above water with favorable rating. Something to ponder.
Polls don’t matter as long as there is fraud in our elections polls are nothing but BS!! There is NO RECOURSE once they call the damn election!! This BS of voting for a month and counting for WEEKS after the election HAS TO GE CHANGED!! Congress NEEDS TO make Election Day a holiday and that is that open more polling places and EVERYONE votes on Election Day!! Polls open at 6am and close at 9pm vote counters DO NOT GO HOME u til votes are counted PERIOD! There are PKENTY of people to staff the polls and counting areas the American people are more than willing to volunteer!!!
Polls cannot detect the full potential of Democratic turnout, and so they are useless.
Trump was NOT on ballot in 2022.
If you think meatball has a better chance to win against Biden, I got news for you. Me and 40 million other Trump voters will stay home to protest a career politician for president.
Democrat turnout goes ballistic when GOP pushes restrictions on abortions. But GOP is not smart enough to learn from 2022 when red wave fizzled badly due to senator Linda Graham’s proposed bill to ban all abortions after 15 weeks (or was it 12 weeks? I forgot exact number but it was in that range).

He's supposed to sit there and take it, and instead be kind, and be nice to all the people who have attacked, and harassed him, his family, friends, and associates the past seven years. I don't know why he has to defend himself. He needs to just keep his mouth shut. Can't he come across better? He just isn't likable. He should be more like G.H.W. Bush, G.W. Bush, McCain, Dole, Romney. We need pussycats, not lions.
**Many of the comments in my post are part of quotes from people on FR who got their panties in a twist because Trump called ex-staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin a ‘sleazebag,’ ‘loser’. Of course, they made those comments not knowing that Griffin had started it all by calling Trump a "raving maniac." She also bad-mouthed him in an August 2022 issue of People Magazine.
She apparently spent time working for Mike Pence during Operation Warp Speed, then went back to the West Wing. Is she a Pence girl? I bet if he throws his hat into the wing, she will be working for him in some capacity, or at least supporting him.
This whole situation is no different than the McCain-Trump feud. McCain said some nasty things when Trump held a rally in Phoenix, Arizona in July 2015. He didn't like it that Trump was talking about the bad conditions at the border. McCain got upset, and said "Trump fired up the crazies." When Trump was asked about McCain's comments, Trump said: “He was a war hero because he was captured. Trump. I like people who weren’t captured.”
No media outlets reported McCain's comments that started the feud, but they ran with Trump's comment, and claimed he was attacking a hero. And of course we now know that McCain was involved in the dissemination of the fake Russian dossier.
If the media were honest, they'd tell both sides of the story, but they won't do that because it's Trump.
OMG! you should post that on every thread that mentions pedoBiden.
Now do 2020 election steal and the J6 FBI entrapment.
In DeSantis vs dopey or even vs heels up, he's barely even. Factor in the cheat and he loses bigly. I like DeSantis, but Trump is the only one who leads by enough that he might be able to beat the cheat this time around.
The town hall showed how overconfident CNN and the liberal ‘elite’ press has become. Trump mopped the flood with them... They’ll never put Trump on ‘live’ again...
CNN’s bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ will use the tools of totalitarians - cut and pasted ... pick and choose and edit for effective lying.
CNN - the network of weasels, sneaks and cheaters.
People shouldn’t just “believe” the Russian/Trump collusion story is fake and was a criminal conspiracy cooked up by Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration (then followed through with by the DOJ/FBI/CIA).
At this point if they don’t “know” it as a fact, then there is little hope for them making informed voting decisions in the future.
Polls cannot detect the full potential of Democratic turnout, and so they are useless.
They only candidate stat that matters is which one has the best ballot harvesting and fraud-prevention game.
All these fancy graphs and charts are meaningless if our candidate doesn’t come with a plan to prevent what’s happened the past two cycles.
Let us pray for Biden’s health. Him vs. Trump is something the rats are unsure of, especially with Kamala being the turd in the punch bowl.
If the ‘possible’ could happen, meaning Biden’s health, the Democrat convention could pull a switcheroo on the country and most would go along. That would confine the election campaign to 2-3 months. Don’t think the DNC is not preparing for that possibility.
Known brain dead idiot.
Yet, head to head against the Florida Gov, she is tied.
Don't know if that is a reflection on brain dead rats, or the lack of respect to the gov., but them is some seriously bad numbers.
I hope so. I don’t care which one is nominated but we have to win!! Our track record I’d so dismal the last 5 years.
