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."

Micheal Obama...
Just like how the dems judge ship, they are now candidate and poll shopping.
how in the world did she graduate from law school and also pass the law exam
This thread devolved faster than a thread about one of the outer planets in our solar system.
But Kamala knows What can be, unburdened by what has been.
Thanks——now have to unthink two facial images.
She’s Black
Kackling Kamala and that grating voice will turn off more democrat voters then dementia biden.
“So you are saying they will give Kamala the shaft?”
That was a good line. I didn’t mean to ignore it!
She won't be able to escape that question.
So the Democrats will be better off with a fresh face like Gavin Newsom.
But they can't do that because they owe it to Kamala Harris.
Hence the Kamala Harris dilemma.
I’M SORRY, BUT
WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS.
That’s all I have to say.
