Kamala Harris has suffered a blow in a poll that looked at how alternative Democratic candidates would do in swing states.
There have been calls for U.S. President Joe Biden to be replaced as the Democratic candidate since the world watched his poor performance in his debate with Donald Trump on June 27. Many have assumed the vice president would be the obvious choice, but a new poll shows she doesn't fare as well as others, and she wasn't among the four who performed best.
Analytics company BlueLabs carried out research to determine who would increase the number of people voting for the Democrats in seven battleground states – Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. It interviewed more than 15,000 voters across the states from July 5-12.
The results, published in a draft by Politico on Tuesday, showed all of the alternative candidates ahead of Biden, including Harris. The four who performed best, outpacing Biden by roughly 5 points, were U.S. Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Those who participated in the poll were randomly assigned 11 options for president, including Biden, and given arguments in support of those potential candidates – to "mimic their likely campaign argument."
Newsweek has contacted BlueLabs to ask for the study's margin of error. It also contacted Harris via email for comment.
On average, alternative Democratic candidates were ahead of Biden by 3 points – although Harris' results were lower than that.
"Voters are looking for a fresh face," the study said in its findings. "Those more closely tied to the current administration perform relatively worse than other tested candidates."

Phrasing!
Not to worry. The media lie-machine will take care of things. Guaranteed.
No lowest limit for our logic and IQ challenged journalism and studies majors.
Kamala and the word “blow” shouldn’t be allowed to be used together in a sentence.
Someone’s mind is in the gutter but it’s not mine. I would not write that kind of headline.
“ Phrasing”
No kidding…everyone knows Kamala gives blows, she doesn’t suffer them.
And the MockingbirdMedia knows this.
The media is turning on Harris, too.
Big Myke might have better polls among the ghettopotami.
“ Kamala and the word “blow” shouldn’t be allowed to be used together in a sentence.”
…nor should the word “pole”
Harris Whitmer
Two women against two men.
The media will play this up and the polls will tighten enough for the cheat to carry them across the finish line.
This is the first time I’ve heard Mark Kelly being discussed as a replacement candidate (though I really haven’t been paying much attention to the topic). That toad would be worse than any of the others, IMO.
Perhaps if she cackled more?
I see what they did, there.
we think alike
Yeah because everybody is familiar with Mark Kelly (who?). Shapiro will do really well in Michigan. Are they nuts?
True enough.
And Whitmer could help Democrats carry Michigan, considering she was elected governor twice there, thst could make a difference for a Harris Whitmer ticket in that state.
I can’t believe they put Kamala Harris and blow in the same article...
I think Hillary will come out from ‘left field’ and be branded the savior of the Dem party.
No one likes or trusts kamala.
MO is well known to despise this country.
Plus Hillary is far more popular (although she shouldn’t be) than kamala or me-shell.
Wes Moore could be a contender.
If the Dems put up a Wes Moore type - the media would go apoplectic with the support for a “new face”....add the fraud and it will be close. The messaging should start now that the policies of “America last” will remain regardless of the Dem candidate.
