Vice President Harris is running closer to former President Trump than President Biden is, according to a new poll.
The CNN poll released Tuesday found that 45 percent of registered voters would support Harris in a hypothetical match-up with Trump. She is 2 percentage points behind the former president, who received 47 percent support in a head-to-head contest with Harris. Five percent of respondents said they would choose someone else.
On the other hand, Biden trailed Trump by 6 points in the poll. Trump is leading with 49 percent support in a match-up with the president, while Biden received 43 percent support. Another 4 percent said they would vote for someone else.
The poll was conducted after Biden’s shaky performance in last week’s debate, which has prompted concerns from within the Democrat Party over whether he is the best candidate they can put forward. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) on Tuesday became the first House Democrat to publicly call on Biden to remove himself from the ticket, while numerous editorial boards across the country have urged the same.
The debate has thrown Harris into the national spotlight as she navigates defending Biden and his ability to serve while some people have called on her to replace him. Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) said Tuesday that Harris should replace the president at the top of the ticket, adding that she will “destroy Trump in debate.”
Despite these worries and calls to drop out of the race, the Biden campaign and its surrogates have maintained that the president is still the best candidate to beat Trump. Biden’s team has tried to quell concerns about his debate, emphasizing that Biden will not be leaving the race.

I’m not believing that cackling idiot is within 2 points of Trump.
CNN is back to “normal” again.
She will take over if Biden dies. It should be her. All they talk about is who might be the nominee. No one gives a damn about who needs to step in now. Lanyard wearing staffers are running our country.
Cool. Let her run.
Kamala Harris should be the POTUS right now. They need to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Go ogle the words, “the giggler and kamala.”
Just make Tulsi Trump’s spokesperson.

I’m thinking Trump voters are lying and saying they will support her to skew the results. Go Kamala!
Who is Heels Up Harris performing coitus with now in the press to get this story out there?
President Biden should hire an independent food taster or just er food bought by Hunter himself.
Anyone the dems run against Trump, or any Rep, will run neck and neck. It makes no difference who/what they are.
Democrats see running an imbecile as an uptick from running a dementia candidate.
A made-up poll to bolster the new marching orders.
Tulsi spoke at the Faith and Freedom Forum. It’s on YouTube. 15 minutes. Her speech was very good!
A set of stairs could make Harris president.
Wayne Allyn Root just called Harris “the dumbest person on the planet”....
She’s a dingbat and will do what staffers tell her to do, just like Biden. No difference.
And let's hear her answers about being border czar?
Maybe just ask her was does VP do per constitution, per tradition, and in her case.
Ask her how she can claim being a natural born citizen when she and her family was deported when she was 4 years old, whereupon she grew up and went to school in Canada.
Does she and has she ever had foreign citizenship, even permanent residence? Canada, Jamaica, India, etc.?
Of course she isn’t.
