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."

Willie’s discretion. ‘knee pads’ is always ready.
That’s cause even Newsweak knows she’s a joke.
She did well enough to get a leg up on any competition to get political special favors.
The swallows only come once per year.
She’s used to blows.
P
The PTB know she would suck at that.
Willie’s pole?
kamala know that when you go down, you get back up.
Through hard work and dedication she became Willie’s chief of staff.
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.
All of these polls are useless and no one knows any of these people. Polls are relevant only with Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama (although no one knows even one Michelle policy but these are minor details)
...Kamala...Blow...
There is no one who can win if they replace Biden. Replacing Biden is about saving the down ballot (or trying to).
One thing I know from posting stuff online all these years certain words get more hits.
Don't forget "sucks."
Oh, I don’t think she exactly *suffered*...
He came in first and she finished second.
What happened? I thought she got voted most likely to suck seed...
