Kamala Harris has suffered a blow in a poll that looked at how alternative Democratic candidates would do in swing states.
There have been calls for U.S. President Joe Biden to be replaced as the Democratic candidate since the world watched his poor performance in his debate with Donald Trump on June 27. Many have assumed the vice president would be the obvious choice, but a new poll shows she doesn't fare as well as others, and she wasn't among the four who performed best.
Analytics company BlueLabs carried out research to determine who would increase the number of people voting for the Democrats in seven battleground states – Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. It interviewed more than 15,000 voters across the states from July 5-12.
The results, published in a draft by Politico on Tuesday, showed all of the alternative candidates ahead of Biden, including Harris. The four who performed best, outpacing Biden by roughly 5 points, were U.S. Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Those who participated in the poll were randomly assigned 11 options for president, including Biden, and given arguments in support of those potential candidates – to "mimic their likely campaign argument."
Newsweek has contacted BlueLabs to ask for the study's margin of error. It also contacted Harris via email for comment.
On average, alternative Democratic candidates were ahead of Biden by 3 points – although Harris' results were lower than that.
"Voters are looking for a fresh face," the study said in its findings. "Those more closely tied to the current administration perform relatively worse than other tested candidates."

“ That just sucks.”
Kamala can always calm herself by thinking of the Swallows of Capistrano. It’s in her home state after all.
“The survey conducted and found that while many women like giving blowjobs, most women aren’t supportive of women who decide to employ blowjobs as their sole/primary career advancement strategy.”
This is WAY to easy.
I never was mad at you, I am compelled to fight for what I believe and the times we are going throw are making me irritable.
Did anyone ask Willie Brown?

Obama has said she has no interest, I know. But you know what? The leftists lie. They say whatever is politically expedient in the moment. Big Mike is the ONLY candidate that would be sensational enough in the media for 2 - 3 months to be able to pull off the steal. No one will believe it if it's Harris at the top.
Bevis and Butthead: “They said blow”.
too bad for Democrats that they let DEI pick their VP :)
LMAO
Okay. I can accept that.
Kamala is on her hands and knees, pleading for the chance to run!
Great choice of words. D
DEI
They’re stuck.
Democrats will do ANYTHING for power. Out of the group polled, my money would be on Whitmer.
“The media will play this up and the polls will tighten enough for the cheat to carry them across the finish line.”
The media can take a flying leap. Nobody knows who Nurse Ratched is. They always cheat. And they don’t need these two pieces of female trash to do it.
How did she do on the Willie Brown poll?
The DNC might really want HRC, but replacing Kamalalala with a white woman might not go over well with the CBC.
Could result in a ton of votes for “BYE”!
New poll gives Harris the shaft.
Film at 11.
I predict Biden out by Sunday, they try to go with Kamala and that turns into a dumpster fire over her eligibility and whatever else and then what do they do? This is going to spiral into kray kray.
I guess the super duper delegates get to decide
