A new poll from The Wall Street Journal has found Vice President Kamala Harris neck and neck with Donald Trump after President Biden vacated the Democratic nomination for November’s election.
"Only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him in early July, and now 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her," Democratic pollster Mike Bocian, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster David Lee, told the Journal. "This is an astounding change."
The former president maintains a 2% lead over Harris in a two-person race, within the Journal’s 3.1% margin of error, indicating Harris has cut into the six-point lead Trump had over President Biden before Biden withdrew from the race last weekend.

Don’t forget they over poll Dems, and they are polling her LBTQ, TRANY MORE.
Yet most polls have Republican enthusiasm in the mid-90s.
Too bad, so sad.
A new poll
Proof the rigging isn’t going well make bogus numbers list.
Polls don’t matter. We’re gonna get the Venezuela treatment - somehow the HO will have a massive win. It’ll be so massive that some state ballots will exceed their populations. Surprisingly, they’ll all the the swing states.
Only slightly exaggerating. Remember that countries can vote their way into socialism/communism, but they have to shoot their way out.
I could see die-hard D’s being far more enthused than before. To them, it’s nothing but ‘old white guy’ to now ‘black woman’ (not that she is) - the only requirement necessary.
That said, that’s a minority of voters. It’s like having 1 supporter and then increasing to 2, being a 100% increase.
Snakehead avoided many of the questions.
Yep, this is a big problem. The 2nd problem is the GOP only has limited time to "define" what Kamala represents and that is made more difficult with her media fans. The GOP needs some massive spending on messaging and now and on legacy media.
Trump helped Kamala a lot by picking JD Vance
It depends on who you poll.
All these amazing polls about Harris are of ‘registered voters’. In Florida we have ‘motor voter’. Sigh up to get a driver’s license and you get registered to vote.
Because democrat voter fraud at the time was based on ‘voting the people who don’t show up to vote’ all that was needed was LOT AND LOTS AND LOTS of names on the voter rolls. The problem - most of these ‘voters’ have zero interest in their communities or in issues and they don’t vote. And yeah, they’re mostly democrat thinking types (”More money spent on ME ME ME types). Polling those groups always overrepresnts democrats.
The polls that matter are of ‘likely voters’... and those won’t show that ‘big shift’ to Harris. Jake Tapper of CNN was on the other day and was ‘getting it’ on how polls are done and for what purpose. I think his eyes were opened by ‘the debate’. It’s going to be harder to play Tapper for a fool in the future.
Look at her during the 2020 Dem primary debates. Watch the videos. She was a mess.
Just like Joey,the debate will bring her down.
replacing Biden was about the down ballot. It was about motivating the base.. and it was to be expected but not a chance in hell the that the White House is now in play
Yeah that's what makes him such a skilled RAT debater. Raymond tried to pin him down, but he didn't have much success. If you see the video of the interview you can see Raymond laughing at most of the responses.
After interviewing snakehead he next went to talk to his Republican guest. That interview went much better.
Pathetic desperation of disaffected people is now seen as “enthusiasm”. I thought that I had seen it all. There is no limit to the idiocy and lunacy of the leftists and their media nitwits.
One look at Venezuela tells you where this is going.
Making fun of her dumbness isn’t enough“
It actually works against Trump with the blasted women vote.
BARNHAM: YOU CAN FOOL ALOT OF PEOPLE
All you are seeing is that the 30% of the base who are democrat, were dejected because they knew Biden was a loser, and had no enthusiasm for him... Now, they have put a different puppet up who they can rally behind and so they will.
However, make no mistake this is about the down ballot, not the White House... Biden had no shot at the White House and the dems knew it, but until the debate he hadn’t completely lost the base... after the debate he was a threat MASSIVE threat to the down ballot, the base was dejected, and the congressional candidates could no go out and try to defend him or face losing themselves... SO, he had to go.
This election as much as the press and the establishment want you to think is about he White House, its not... the smart folks know the White House is unwinnable by and democrat this cycle, period. However, with Biden at the top of the ballot they were looking at a down ballot massacre, so he had to be replaced, and now they have replaced him, and the base will be more motivated... which is what they need to try to stop a down ballot destruction.
They are trying to sell Kamala as the second coming and the only people buying it are the party loyalists.. but that’s who they needed.
You see, democrat districts aren’t like republican districts.. if you look a solid republican district will be a fairly consistent 55-45 outcome... there are a few “deep” red districts who might be 60/40 and maybe a 70/30 here and there...
Democrat districts by and large are different, they are far more likely to be 60/40, 70/30, 80/20 and some even 90/10... Democrats can lose the middle (which they have) and still do okay in the house because of how their districts are made up... however, if you lose you base by them not being motivated to turn out, then those distritcts are in trouble.. a 60/40 or 70/30 district isn’t safe if your base doesn’t show up.. if they show up it really doesn’t matter what the independents do.
Biden being replaced was about the down ballot, period.
The middle saw the left fully for what it was after the debate, and the sane folks Know Kamala was an active part of the cover up. The sane folks also saw the left try to literally kill President Trump and aren’t going to stand for it.
Replacing Biden was about trying to save the down ballot, period., nothing more...
Now they can try to turn her into the second coming and for the loyal democrats who will vote dem no matter what, they will get excited because well, she’s not a doddering old dementia patient and she is, despite them trying to cover it up and whackadoo leftist... So the base will be far more motivated than when Biden was running, but there is NO PATH TO 270 for ANY DEMOCRAT this cycle.
Watch the VP pick, they want to throw Shapiro into the mix, and there is no doubt this guys ambition wants the white house, but I will be beyond, and I do mean beyond shocked if he accepts it if offered. Just like none of the other “A” tier democrats are going to challenge Kamala, they want the White House and don’t want to be slogging through or tainted by Biden’s excrement they will keep their powder dry until 2028.
Expect some back bench party loyalist that you likely never heard of to end up being the VP... someone who knows they have no shot at the white house but are loyal to the party and will take the bribe to run the failing campaign.
Kamala would love to have Shapiro to help them win PA... but I really truly don’t think for one second he will taint himself by being part of this losing effort. We shall see.
Maybe. But how many thoughtful people actually VOTE for Democrats? They care what thoughtful voters think about as much as they care what MAGA voters think.
See post 77, they really didn’t have much choice.
It would have been Kamala or some other back bencher that the party could bribe enough to take on a lost cause and try to at least keep the base motivated.
Biden’s replacement is all about the down ballot, the WH is lost and the Dems have known it from the start.
This is patently untrue. Trump has been up on 270towin ust like he was on Biden.
Some of the last polls had biden tied.
Harris has tied or led in NONE
The LIE is that it makes a ###ing difference whether dems are 30 percent excited about their candidate or 90 percent excited.
Who here was excited about every R since Reagan?
But we still voted for the R.
No D or R that was going to vote stays home because they don’t love the candidate.
It is the idealogy behind both sides that gets people to vote...the Independents decide elections.
And I think Trump will win...if he is not robbed.
