Trump Leads Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom In Hypothetical Matchup
Townhall ^ | 02/17/2024 | Sarah Arnold

Democrats should be hitting the panic button. Despite countless witch hunts and politically charged attacks, they throw at former President Trump, nothing is stopping him from crawling his way to the top.

According to a new Emerson College poll, Trump holds a significant lead over Vice Kamala Harris and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in a hypothetical matchup.

In a race between Trump and Harris, the Republican has 46 percent support, while Harris only has 43 percent. Eleven percent are undecided.

On the other hand, Newsom performed worse than Harris, with only 36 percent of respondents saying they would vote for the California governor.

Rumors speculate that Biden will drop out of the 2024 race at the Democratic National Convention this summer, opening the door for Harris and Newsom to step in.

However, Harris has a worse approval rating than Biden, and Americans are well aware Newsom destroyed California and would only be a matter of time before the U.S. looked the same way.

According to a June NBC News poll, nearly 50 percent of voters had a negative outlook on Harris, compared to just 32 percent who viewed her favorably. Since then, Harris has achieved a net favorability rating of -17, the lowest a vice president has gotten in the poll's history.

45 percent of the 1,225 registered voter respondents surveyed would cast their ballot for Trump in a race against President Joe Biden, who has 44 percent support.

The poll also found that 45 percent of likely voters believe Trump will be the 47th president, while 42 percent think Biden will keep the keys to the White House. Fourteen percent think another candidate will emerge in the race and secure the race in their favor.

Growing concerns about Biden's age have forced Democrats to reconsider their 2024 candidate.

Although no decision has been made publicly, many political experts believe the 81-year-old president will drop out of the race and let someone younger, more vital, take his place.

Dear God! If this poll is even marginally accurate, the republic is done.

What a dumb headline. If it is 46-43, Harris will win by 5 points and 100 electoral votes.

The democrat party have no bench. That is why they cheat and try to jail their opponents.

Your point is correct....there is marginally a ‘bench’ for the D-Party to pick up candidates from.

If you review state governors...most have crappy results to brag about. This guy from Kentucky (Beshear) is about the only one that seems capable of bragging-rights.

In the case of Newsom....the counter-campaign against him can be hundreds of videos of failure around the state of California.

Even if you were to review Senator options...Fetterman is the only one that might get people marginally hyped up.

So you are left with AOC?

Yet another article with documents and witnesses showing Biden will be replaced.

Oops.

Nada.

Nothing.

Again.

Even the dumbest AI can write this slop.

Haha...all Joe has to do is quote all the LIARS in his administration and the LYING Dems in congress who keep telling us that he’s so sharp and energetic that they can’t keep up with him! And the LYING columnists who say he’s an historically great president. How do you dump a guy like that??

Polls don’t mean squat while voting machines can be cheated. Not a single state has announced a successful audit of their Voter Registration Rolls from cleaning out dead and otherwise illegal voters. It was demonstrated in court recently that a simple pen can be used to compromise GA’s voting machines, in court.

Add to that not one person has been indicted over election fraud. It has been 3.5 years and no one in power is taking any of this seriously. Given that they have all gotten a get out of jail free card, there are no more guardrails and the dims will cheat this time probably out in the open with the attitude of “Stop me”. And no one will.

That’s silly. You mean if it/s 46-43 TRUMP wins by 5 points and an EV of about 340=360.

However, this is an outlier, as almost all polls have both these people doing 5-10 points WORSE than Rutabaga, whom Trump is now beating by 3-6 points. (Baris’s most recent poll was Trump +5, but with “leaners” it’s +7.

Trump is closing in on one of the more massive electoral victories in the last 50 years, possibly rivaling that of GHWB if things keep going the way they are.

Now, if We the People can figure out a way to stop the Democrat BIG CHEAT in November, perhaps we can toss the Democrat Party on the ash heap of History, where it rightfully belongs.

AND, along the way, fill our federal prisons with Democrat BIG CHEATERS!

I’ll gladly pay more taxes to support federal SuperMax prisons for Democrat CHEATERS!

The polls, not me, may be wrong. But they weren’t in 2020. Now, recent testimony on Tucker says that they knew they were rigging it all along, so the polls merely followed suit.

I think if you have a year’s worth of polls with Trump up solidly, that alone makes it much harder to cheat. Then people start to get concerned. “Why did he lead the whole time yet lose?”
