Harris edges out Trump nationally — but trails him on key issues: poll

Vice President Kamala Harris clinched a slim lead over former President Donald Trump nationally, despite lagging behind him on top issues for voters, a new poll found.

Harris nabbed 49% support to Trump’s 45% in a one-on-one matchup nationally and saw her advantage slip to 47% to 44% when independent candidates were added to the mix, with hopeful Robert F. Knnedy Jr. clocking in at 5% among registered voters, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

For comparison, back in July, the poll pegged Trump at 43%, President Biden at 42% and Kennedy at 9%

The finding corroborates the majority of recent head-to-head national polling. Polls have given mixed results as to whether or not independent contenders help or hurt Harris.

How can this absolutely brainless, commie, psychopath be ANYWHERE near Trump in the polls? Are people absolutely insane? Have they been living under a rock the past 4 years?

There are lots of stupid people who thing elections are a team sport. They have no clue it matters and will have an effect on their lives.

Another national push poll that means nothing.

Its function is to sway opinion.

From what I understand, popular votes are worthless in polls, especially when it is usually a sample of less than 1000 registered voters who skew Democrat.

She’s not anywhere near Trump. All hype ... and be ready for this to get much crazier during this week’s Democrat/Communist Party cult meeting in Chicago.

But we have a chance to elect the FIRST black woman to POTUS!!

It worked in 2008 with the absolutely brainless, commie, psychopath, community organizer.

The most accurate polling company, Rasmussen, has Trump over Harris 49-45 in their most recent national poll. This is a two-way matchup of likely voters.

I’ll take the Rasmussen Poll any day of the week over Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

The liberal press people in Cambodia were utterly amazed when the communists put plastic bags over their heads.

The same poll had Trump and Biden tied in the beginning of July.

But she’s black (or they’ve convinced them she is) and female, and not Trump. That’s literally all that matters to many people.

Fake polls to give cover for Harris stealing the election. That’s it.

As another note, earlier polls showed “Trump at 43%, President Biden at 42% and Kennedy at 9%.” Well, the internal polls (the real ones) must have shown Biden losing so badly they kicked Biden to the curb. His own side politically curb stomped him. That should give people some idea what these polls mean.

Trump’s real Achillies heal is white suburban women. Frankly I won’t be too upset if Harris wins because these idiots deserve what will result. Me and mine — along with I suspect most Freepers — have planned for that eventuality. Most of these white suburban Harris supporters likely have not.

All that said, don’t be complacent and VOTE! Be active with money, activism such as on social media (and not just Free Republic — the vast majority of people here have a clue), or both. Also please donate to Free Republic if you can. I’ll admit I cannot right now — over 80% of my clients went belly up due to the idiotic policies Biden/Harris and their ilk put in to “deal” with Covid. Still have not recovered.

I hope because if she wins, I am absolutely preparing for Armageddon, not kidding. I can see a nuclear world war breaking out in the next 4 years if this freakin opioid drugged out cackling ditz is POTUS, or even worse, the DemoMarxists take both houses with her as POTUS, we are toast if that happens.

Just another affirmation that the “American” public are a majority of complete F’ing idiots.

Issues matter little to them, just that she is a women and part black. Our culture consists of memes and sound bites ... nothing more.

We will get the Gon’t we deserve after Nov. And freedom will be dead in this world.

All of these polls can't be wrong, and their results are reflecting the way people are made to think. If repeated often enough, she will be the next president.

Remember 2016 when they told Hillary was far ahead in the polls? Even the day before the election the NY Times said from all the polling data they looked at Hillary had a 99% chance of winning.

Harris just had a rally the other day and it was around 150 people. She does not have the support the State Run Media is pretending she has. Even Don Lemon did an interview in the street in New Jersey the other day. Every person he interviewed said they are voting for President Trump.

The external polls you hear on the news are generally not good polls. Internal polls have President Trump 20 plus % points ahead. Although when you factor in all the cheating from the Democrats it will be close.

If I had to guess, then I would say President Trump probably has about 75 to 80% support of the people that are actively involved with politics. The problem is that only 1/3 actually ever vote? Why I don’t know?

If everyone gets out in vote, then we might be able to overcome the steal.

They are not polling anyone .

They use a formula based on their skewed view of the
population make up .
They cherry pick Dem victory stats from 2020 and 2012 and intentionally ignore 2016. Its called fuzzy stats .
Thats why all these left wing networks show the same results .

Amazing isn’t it. I feel Trump will win but it will be a rocky road.
