Poll: Donald Trump Overtakes Kamala Harris Among Independents
Breitbart ^ | 08/28/2024 | Hannah Knudsen

Posted on 08/28/2024 9:17:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump has overtaken Vice President Kamala Harris among independents, the latest weekly survey — taken after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois — from the Economist/YouGov found.

The survey asked respondents, “In November 2024, who do you plan to vote for in the presidential election” and listed Trump, Harris, independent candidate Cornel West, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein as options. Notably, this survey was taken after independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.

Overall, Harris — whom many believe is at the end of the honeymoon period of her campaign — leads Trump by two percentage points, 47 percent to Trump’s 45 percent. Notably, she led Trump by three points the week prior.

One percent goes to Stein, while West receives zero percent support. Five percent across the board remain unsure.

While Trump predictably leads among Republicans and Harris leads among Democrats, Trump has regained a solid lead among independents, as 42 percent choose him compared to 37 percent who support Harris — a five-percent gap.

I accidentally watched a CNN post-convention focus group interview on YouTube that CNN set up with supposedly ‘independent’ voters from PA (Pittsburgh? I think).

They all ‘claimed’ to be independent but of the 9 or 10 of them only two weren’t connected with the UAW in some way. You can guess the outcome. My opinion is that there really aren’t that many independents; they’re either leftward-leaning shills or people who just like being pandered to.

Cousin Ike said, If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

More measured taunting is in order. Her unwillingness to face the music is working. Won’t sit for an interview until she’s under pressure from even her allies in the MSM. Now she needs her chaperone VP to dilute her cackling.

This is as expected.

The so-called eponymous ‘independents’ usually break exactly to the same proportions as the two main parties..............

“America today is mostly idiots”

Before covid I woulda taken exception to that, but after seeing millions of people blindly getting an untested shot, wearing a piece of cloth on their face and all the rest of it just because they were told to without questioning it I’d have to say your absolutely correct.

If you’d have told me 10 years ago how weak minded and compliant many Americans now are I never would have believed it.

The public education system is really doing damage to people’s intellect.

Anyone see Trump’s ad with the background music Allen Sherman’s “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah?”. Am I the only one old enough to remember jt?

I know, the tune is from an opera. Disney used it in Fantasia.

This would explain the non-fawning pieces about KaMaoLa appearing in the Party Organ media like the Slimes and MS-LSD. They’re probably thinking of making another spin of the Wheel Of Democrats. Place your bets.

It’s the ballet suite, known as “Dance of the Hours,” from Amilcare Poncchielli’s opera, “La Giaconda,” written in 1876.

Every time I hear the commercial, I start singing the Allan Sherman song.
