Trump Clobbers Kamala Harris With Independents In Head-To-Head Matchup, Rasmussen Poll Reveals
American Action News ^ | 07/27/24

Posted on 07/27/2024 10:04:03 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Former President Donald Trump is dominating among Independents in a head-to-head matchup against Vice President Kamala Harris, a poll released Thursday reveals.

Democratic lawmakers, political figures and donors threw their support behind Harris on Sunday following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The president released a letter on X stating while his intention was to run for reelection, he believed it was best for the country and his party to focus on the remainder of his term.

In data for independent voters only Trump is showing a 20 point lead over Harris as he holds 53% of the support with Harris at 33%, another candidate option at 9%, and 4% for undecided voters, according to Rasmussen Reports.

The survey, which was conducted on July 22-23, polled 1,074 U.S. likely voters, with a +/-3 margin of error, according to Rasmussen Reports.

“We have done more Harris polling than almost any pollster. So this is no surprise to us. And it’s consistent with our last Biden v Trump poll. She did not improve on Biden,” Rasmussen said in a Thursday post on X.

Independents Only-

Trump: 53% (+20)

Harris: 33%

Someone Else: 9%

Rasmussen’s national poll additionally shows Trump holding a significant lead over Harris, with the former president at 50% of voters support, Harris at 43%, 4% for another candidate and 3% still undecided, data shows.

The new polling comes after Harris confirmed the needed amount of delegates to be considered the party’s presumptive presidential nominee ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August.

Democratic lawmakers, political figures and donors threw their support behind Harris on Sunday following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The president released a letter on X stating while his intention was to run for reelection, he believed it was best for the country and his party to focus on the remainder of his term.

Biden notably endorsed Harris in a second post online, which triggered a wave of support for the vice president.

The move from Biden comes after he received a massive amount of backlash over his debate performance against Trump, in which he could be seen struggling to finish his statements and freezing mid-statement. Despite Republicans calling out the president’s significant amount of gaffes over his term, Democrats and legacy media only began to call concerns for Biden’s mental fitness after the debate.

A post-debate CBS/YouGov poll showed 72% of Americans no longer believe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve in office, jumping seven points from a similar survey in early June.

The Harris campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is insane to think the woman who was the first to drop out of the 2020 primary because everyone hated her. She went on the have the lowest approval rating for a VP in history, but now she is the front runner for the 2024 presidential election?

She's on track to *AHEM* get the most "votes" in history.

Kamala is the weakest possible candidate the Democrats can run.

If we can’t beat her we can never win another presidential election.

She is really that bad.

Is America a leftist nation run by boomer women who wish their dusty wombs could be filled long enough to flush them? That’s what they want us to believe. I’m not buying whatever comes out of Nicole Wallace and her chipmunk teeth.

I watched Tyrus last night. He hit he nail on the head. Don’t beat her up. Just sit back and wait. I think Trump is doing just that. Uncharacteristic of him but it shows he’s listening.

I saw that also and Tyrus is absolutely right. Stay away from name calling and personal attacks. All that will do is generate sympathy for her. Keep pointing out her record and show clips of Kamala expressing her views in her own words.

And listening to that very tepid endorsement of Harris by the Obamas on their phone call shows they and the rest of the Democrat establishment know this too.

I understand that there is another caravan of Democrat voters coming up through Mexico.

It’s not the voters you need to worry about. It’s the ballots.

I don't trust Rasmussen's polling - but it's true that Independents "should" be disgusted by Heels Up Harris.

That's why I believe Colorado will go to Trump this year. The registered Independents in the state far exceed either the Demonrats or the Republicans.

Yes, Colorado has been turning into a sewer, but the Independents run the show politically.

We nominated a candidate that 50% of the voters hate and would never vote for, no matter how bad the Democrat candidate is.
Other Republican candidates had higher ceilings.

I liked DeSantis the best. I believe his ceiling is much higher. But the base in the Republican Party believe that the Democratic Party stole the election in 2020. They're not wrong about it. So this is a revenge election. We'll vote for Trump.

Then either Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer will get the White House in 2028 and that will be the end of the "American Democracy" (ha I'm using the leftist definition).

Regardless, we will find out how “far gone” the USA is. I cannot image voting for four more years of this Bidenomic crap.

We tried the “nice Republican” route with Romney and McCain.

They got crushed.

November is the country’s “Final Exam.” We’ll find out if they’ve learned anything from the last four years.

If other candidates can get 9% of the vote, Trump wins in a landslide. MAGA in the Deep Blue states should be promoting RFK, Jr. on bumper stickers and yard signs.

Trump lost in 2020 worse than Romney. so his model is not ideal either
