Kamala Harris Struggles As Hispanic Support Plummets
Red State ^ | 07/23/2024 | Brittany Sheehan

Posted on 07/23/2024 8:41:13 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

According to two recent overnight polls, Kamala Harris' popularity as a presidential candidate plunged with Hispanic voters compared to Democratic candidates in recent years. A Forbes / HarrisX survey has put Harris tied at 39 percent with former President Donald Trump. The Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21 poll was conducted prior to Biden's withdrawal from the race, making Harris still a prospective candidate in the survey of 2,753 registered voters, with a margin of error of 1.9 points.

The record-low favorability among Hispanics is reflected in a second poll from Quinnipiac University, which also places Harris at 39 percent support. The poll was also conducted from July 19 through July 21 with 1,257 self-identified registered voters nationwide, with a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points. Among them, 542 were Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, with a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.

🚨NEW POLL🚨

BREAKING: Another overnight poll, this time from Quinnipiac, shows Trump and Harris TIED among Hispanics at 39%.


Context: This would be the worst performance ever for Democrats with Hispanics, even lower than John Kerry's record low of 53% in 2004.

Trump Drops First Campaign Ad on Harris After Biden Drops Out and It's As Good As You Knew It Would Be


In March, a New York Times poll had Trump beating Biden among Hispanic voters 46 to 40. In 2020, Joe Biden received 66 percent support of the Hispanic vote in national exit polls, a figure comparable to Hillary Clinton's 65 percent in 2016. In contrast, the recent survey showed Kamala Harris trailing Biden's 2020 national numbers with Hispanic voters by 27 points. 

If Harris crosses the finish line with just 39 percent of the vote, it would mark the lowest level of Latino support for a Democratic presidential candidate in recorded history. This comes at a pivotal time when the influence of Hispanics is increasingly decisive.

According to the Pew Research Center, approximately 34.5 million Hispanic Americans will be eligible to vote in the 2024 election, cementing their status as "the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate since the last midterm elections." States that could see increases in Latino turnout in 2024 versus 2020 are California, by 6.1 percent; Florida, 13.8 percent; Nevada, 15.5 percent; and New York, 12.4 percent. The turnout rates in Arizona, Georgia, New Jersey, and Texas will likely be similar to those in 2020. 

Among the swing states, Trump is leading in heavily Hispanic-populated Nevada and Arizona, two states he did not carry in 2020. Although Biden won the electoral votes in 2020, he experienced a 4-point drop in Nevada, where Latino men showed notable support for Trump. In the Silver State, Biden won 56 percent of the Hispanic vote, and Trump won 37 percent, with Hispanics accounting for 19 percent of the ballots cast overall. 

In a survey conducted just before Biden's disastrous debate performance and the attempted assassination of Trump, nearly a third of the Hispanic electorate in Nevada was undecided between the two candidates. A poll conducted by TelevisaUnivision from June 12 to June 24 revealed that 33 percent of Latino registered voters were in support of Biden, while 30 percent supported Trump—a statistical dead heat given the margin of error of plus or minus 5.1 percent.

The poll indicated that 17 percent of Latinos would "probably" vote for Biden, while 10 percent expressed a similar inclination towards Trump. Additionally, seven percent stated they would vote for another candidate, and four percent remained unsure or undecided about their voting preference. This leaves 31 percent of Latino voters in Nevada up for grabs between the then-proposed major party candidates.

Harris' unfavorability with Hispanic voters, as recent polls show her tied with the former Republican president, signals a notable decline in support compared to previous Democrat candidates. Looking ahead, Hispanic voter turnout in swing states will be crucial, reflecting their growing influence and the potential for a significant and lasting realignment in electoral demographics.

I just read that she is absolutely beloved and wants to pick Handsome Mark Kelly as her running mate. What’s not to like?

How can she win with just 39% of the Hispanic vote? And she will get a smaller percentage of the black vote than Biden won in 2020.

These polls are BS. Kamala is less popular than Biden. The only way she wins is to steal it again.

I’m predicting a Latino, Latina, or Latinx running mate.
If she can’t stop the bleeding here, she’s cooked

she is cooked no matter what

Kamala was a communist hail marry. Biden was 100% going to lose, by doing this the odds shift to maybe 90% that Kamala loses, but that is better than 0% and this one is for all the deep state marbles, so the risk was worth it from their perspective.

I agree the odds are against her, but nothing is impossible and my prediction makes sense to try to improve her standing with Latinos

my best guess is the national numbers may move 1 point or so towards Harris, so instead of Biden being down 3, Harris would be down 2. But that doesn’t matter, because I also predict that Harris will lose ground in the battleground states, in particular Pennsylvania, and her VP pick wont help, as was pointed out for the last few weeks, people don’t vote for the VP.

She won’t. She’s a person of color on a ticket that needs white voters. That’s why I pushed hard for a minority candidate bc it would draw in some support & beginvto change demographic alignment. But, no, we have J.D. Vance & he’s a real...firecracker 🙄

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett calls Kamala Harris a ‘DEI vice president’

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., blasted Kamala Harris in a social media post Monday, calling her a “DEI vice president,” using the initialism for “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs. “The media propped up this president, lied to the American people for three years, and then dumped him for our DEI vice president,” Burchett said on X. He also referred to Harris as “a DEI hire” in a brief interview Monday, telling CNN that during the 2020 campaign candidate Joe Biden said “he was going to hire a Black female for vice president.” “What about white females? What about any other group?” Burchett added.

Biden said at a March 2020 Democratic debate that he’d choose a female running mate but did not mention race or ethnicity. Other top running mate contenders at the time included Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping his re-election bid. He endorsed Harris for president the same day.

Burchett, a longtime state legislator in Tennessee and former Knox County mayor who was first elected to Congress in 2018, has previously cited DEI in disparaging Harris. In an interview with Newsmax this month, he said: “When I hear her talk, I just scratch my head and think this is what DEI is really about. It clearly is. She checks all the boxes. She’ll say she’s of Indian descent one day, then she’ll say she’s of Black descent. It’s just box-checking.”

2 weeks from now, the polls will be more accurate. It will certainly be interesting to see after the noise dies down.

Why does Harris lead in the 50+ and the 65 + categories and Trump leads with younger people? Didn’t things used to be the other way around in elections?

Why? Trump is the working class populist candidate. Where’ve you been?

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Kamala-la-la-ding-dong will NOT be the Democrat Candidate once the DNC Convention is over in #Chicago.

It will become a violent, heavily protested, ugly riot in Chicago that will #Make1968GreatAgain and cause the Democrats to lose BADLY in November.

Who'll be the candidate coming out of Chicago? Some say Hillary Clinton. I won't say that. I don't know. I don't care.

All I care about, is it won't be Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party will lay in shambles afterwards.

That's my prediction, I'm sticking to it.

Also, I (along with many others on here..) predicted Biden would drop out within 2 weeks of his disastrous debate performance for obvious reasons. Ok, so the timing was a wee bit off. Still, the outcome is what mattered.

Here again, the outcome matters.

It's gonna be fun to watch Chicago burn from out here in DuPage County, IL. Popcorn and good beer stocked up & ready.

“The only way she wins is to steal it again.”

BINGO !!

The left is already planning for the integration of all vote stealing methods into one big effort to wit:

1) deny ID requirements at the polls
2) stop voter information database cleanups
3) un-monitored drop boxes everywhere
4) enhanced shotgun ballot mail-outs
5) extend vote counting periods to weeks if necessary
6) etc ...

Oh yeah ... the 40MM illegals now in this country? All the left wants is their names. Those names will be on a ballot and are being printed as we speak. Needless to say the vote selection will be straight party D. Of course the illegals will never see those ballots but they will be submitted for counting. Some may be thrown out but many will go through the counting machines.
