Trump holds 2-point lead over Harris with a big advantage on economy, CNBC survey shows
CNBC ^ | 080824

- The CNBC All-America Economic Survey finds former President Donald Trump holding a commanding lead among voters on key economic issues, but ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris by just a 2-point advantage in the head-to-head race for the White House.

After the replacement of President Joe Biden with Harris, an assassination attempt on Trump and the Republican convention, Trump’s 48%-46% lead is within the CNBC survey’s margin of error and unchanged from the 45%-43% lead Trump held against Biden in the NBC News July Survey. While the head-to-head competition remains the same, there have been dramatic but offsetting changes beneath the surface for both sides that have kept the race even.

The most dramatic shift: 81% of Democrats are satisfied with Harris as their nominee, compared with just 33% who were satisfied with Biden. But that was partially offset by a 9-point gain among Republicans who are satisfied with Trump as the nominee, bringing his number to 80%.

Interest in the election rose 3 points for Democrats, but it rose 2 points for Republicans. Young voters showed far greater supporter for Harris than they did for Biden, backing the vice president now by 10 points, compared with backing Trump by 2 points in the NBC July poll. That was offset by a big swing of 12 points among voters aged 35-49 toward Trump. The age group now supports Trump by 9 points. Harris’ net approval rating (approval minus disapproval) improved from -15 in the July NBC survey to -8, but Trump’s improved about the same amount to -9.

What about various recent polls showing Kamala in the lead? Were those doctored polls? Were those polls of MSNBC viewers?

All these polls are all over the place.

We just need to continue to make sure everyone understands what the left commies are all about, and hammer away on the economy and inflation, as many here have pointed out repeatedly.

Keep shoving reality in the face of the left.

This only reminds me how dead our country is, that so many people could vote for an open Communist and America-hater.

I agree. It is absolutely astounding that this election is even close.

It speaks volumes about how far to the left this country has moved, and how incredibly successful the ‘fundamental transformation’ has been (and is continuing and accelerating as we speak).

With Harris/Walz in office, it will accelerate on steroids!

I only care about aggregates in swing states. The rest of these national polls are for imbiciles to fellate themselves over on either side. If you get despondent or elated based on propaganda national pols, your’re a moron.

best one yet..in Michigan, the last 2 polls prior had Trump up 7 and 8. Now the latest one has Harris up 11, a 17 point swing. Laughable.

The cross tabs for this poll do not appear to be out yet. The same poll, a month ago, does have cross tabs but the first thing to look for . . . partisan mixture . . . is hard to examine because they don’t count up GOP/Dem/Inds. They ask people the degree to which they are GOP or Dem . . . strongly, moderately, mildly and then try to get Inds to lean one way or another. There seems to be objection because there was a 13% number saying STRICTLY INDEPENDENT.

Age groupings looked like the Census, region looked normal.

But that’s for a month ago. No data for today.

Today Trump +2. Last month, Trump +2.

This is looking a great deal like nothing changes unless you change your turnout model, which several of the recent polls did. You can get very strong results for Harris if you increase black totals beyond the 13% general population and screen respondents for that.

Why do this? Might have been paid to, by the campaign, to generate fundraising.

Not dumb. They are happy to collect free money from government while people like me dragged butt to work every day. Without doubt, Kamala will be more generous in handing out free money.

"It speaks volumes about how far to the left this country has moved"

It's not that it's far left. Watch Mark Dice interview people on the street or at the beach in California. Many of them don't know left from right, it's just downright total stupidity and completely messed up values and priorities.

Yes Trump should be 10 pts up on the dynamic duo, but have no fear. Kamala will get a convention bump, and may take a small lead, but Trump and Vance will continue to hammer the most communist ticket in American history and they will focus that effort in swing states where it will resonate. By the election, Trump will be 1 or 2 points ahead in the popular vote, and will cruise to a big win in the EC.

The poll of 1,001 Americans across the country was conducted July 31 through Aug. 4.

So not even registered or likely voters.

I think this poll bit them in the butt. Usually polls that don't include voters favor Dems.
