Poll: Donald Trump Begins Election Against Kamala Harris with Double-Digit Lead
Breitbart ^ | 7.22.24 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 07/22/2024 3:06:20 PM PDT by conservative98

President Donald Trump began the new general election race with a majority of national support and a double-digit lead against Democrat frontrunner Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a poll.

A Harris X/Forbes poll found Trump leading Harris 52 percent to 42 percent among 2,169 likely voters nationally. The survey, taken July 19-21, 2024, was conducted after journalist Mark Halperin’s accurate July 18 report that President Joe Biden would stand down as the presumptive nominee on Sunday amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from his own party.

Another six percent of likely voters were undecided between Trump and Harris. When pressed to pick a candidate they leaned toward, 35 percent selected Trump, and 65 percent broke for Harris. With leaners included in the full sample of likely voters, Trump leads at 54 percent to Harris’s 46 percent among likely voters. Harris and Trump’s numbers are identical to those in the now-hypothetical Biden versus Trump race among likely voters, with leaners included.

Among independents, who are part of the larger sample of 2,753 registered voters, Trump holds a 48 percent to 33 percent lead over the vice president. They are in a dead heat with Hispanics at 45 percent, while Trump owns an 11-point lead among suburban voters at 51 percent to 40 percent. He is also backed by 25 percent of black registered voters, while 65 percent support Harris.

Enthusiasm for Trump on the right is also far more abundant than excitement for Harris on the left. Of registered Republicans sampled, 92 percent support Trump, while 83 percent of Democrats would vote for Harris.

The poll also finds registered Democrats entirely split on whether Harris or Biden should be the nominee, with each drawing 45 percent of the response. This notably came after Halperin’s bombshell report, and it indicates nearly half of the party’s voters were hoping what transpired Sunday did not come to fruition.

Democratic donors are just flushing their cash down the drain giving Kackling Kamala aka Heels Up Harris a dime.

The cleaning operation the press has started with Cackles will result in new polling that her within the margin of error.

We shouldn’t take too much comfort in polls based on some anticipatory action. We’ll know much more about how Trump and Harris stand by the end of the week.

The election this year could be a complete blowout for Trump. It could be a repeat of Reagan’s election in 1984 where he won every state but one, Minnesota.

Trump has an under the radar component that is well understood. Harris has, I believe, an over the radar component, yet to be estimated, made up of people who think they ought to say they support her, when they won’t. Exact spread size, unknown, but significant.

They've already broken out the Obama "halo" for her. From the front page of the ABC News website:

This won’t be ‘84.
There is no possible scenario where Trump picks up WA/OR/CA.
GWB and H1b destroyed OR.

1984 was a beautiful thing. The only suspense was what direction Minnesota would go, and it swung back and forth into the night before Mondale finally put it away. What a humiliating pulverization.

Shaky methodology. Online. Two nights. All kinds of weighting “according to proportion in the general population” but did not identify how that was determined. Some pollsters align and weight according to the Census, but the Census was corrupted for Congress seats.

They’ll get rid of Harris at the Democrat Convention, and replace her with Skunk Cabbage, who still blames the Ruzzians for her defeat in 2016 (along with many Zeepers here).

They have a TICKET planned for November (which, being a Third World country, now means “September, October, and most of November), that brings Skunk Cabbage back to life.

I’m not comfortable with a 10 point lead. Before 2020, this would have been great news. It would be better if it was a 20 point lead.

Why is no one mentioning Kamala’s eligibility? Are they Republicans afraid again?
