Kamala Harris Suffers Major Polling Blow
Newsweek ^ | July 17, 2024 | Jordan King

Posted on 07/18/2024 9:01:46 AM PDT by Momaw Nadon

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."

Just like how the dems judge ship, they are now candidate and poll shopping.

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.

Same way as Obama.

All you have to do is be black and all kinds of assistance comes your way, including the purchase of your degree.

Biden is not black, but, he also got his law degree with parentla purchases.

“So you are saying they will give Kamala the shaft?”

That was a good line. I didn’t mean to ignore it!

How does Kamala answer the question why she didn’t invoke the 25th Amendment in the face of an obviously incapacitated President?

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.
