Former President Donald Trump is dominating among Independents in a head-to-head matchup against Vice President Kamala Harris, a poll released Thursday reveals.
Democratic lawmakers, political figures and donors threw their support behind Harris on Sunday following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The president released a letter on X stating while his intention was to run for reelection, he believed it was best for the country and his party to focus on the remainder of his term.
In data for independent voters only Trump is showing a 20 point lead over Harris as he holds 53% of the support with Harris at 33%, another candidate option at 9%, and 4% for undecided voters, according to Rasmussen Reports.
The survey, which was conducted on July 22-23, polled 1,074 U.S. likely voters, with a +/-3 margin of error, according to Rasmussen Reports.
“We have done more Harris polling than almost any pollster. So this is no surprise to us. And it’s consistent with our last Biden v Trump poll. She did not improve on Biden,” Rasmussen said in a Thursday post on X.
Independents Only-
Trump: 53% (+20)
Harris: 33%
Someone Else: 9%
Rasmussen’s national poll additionally shows Trump holding a significant lead over Harris, with the former president at 50% of voters support, Harris at 43%, 4% for another candidate and 3% still undecided, data shows.
The new polling comes after Harris confirmed the needed amount of delegates to be considered the party’s presumptive presidential nominee ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August.
Democratic lawmakers, political figures and donors threw their support behind Harris on Sunday following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The president released a letter on X stating while his intention was to run for reelection, he believed it was best for the country and his party to focus on the remainder of his term.
Biden notably endorsed Harris in a second post online, which triggered a wave of support for the vice president.
The move from Biden comes after he received a massive amount of backlash over his debate performance against Trump, in which he could be seen struggling to finish his statements and freezing mid-statement. Despite Republicans calling out the president’s significant amount of gaffes over his term, Democrats and legacy media only began to call concerns for Biden’s mental fitness after the debate.
A post-debate CBS/YouGov poll showed 72% of Americans no longer believe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve in office, jumping seven points from a similar survey in early June.
The Harris campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Yeah but what about the dead voters, the illegal voters, the multiple voting voters, and the votes by those who never voted.
She basically disappeared the past 4 years.
Once this honeymoon period ends for Harris, and rational voters realize how disastrous she would be as “The leader of the free world”, her campaign will go down in flames.
After the conversation...whoever is in..those numbers will flip. Or,at least other less reputable polls will say Harris is crushing Trump.
Trump needs to get her into a debate so the country can see what she’s like.
Give ‘em enough rope so they can hang themselves like Biden did.
I think they thought they could sell her.
She was certainly willing to be bought.
But now I think the mom is going to be someone else
The NOM not the mom.
No one has yet posted Rasmussen’s turnout model. Without that, we know nothing.
she is still the veep
and she still refuses to admit that biden is not fit to serve
though it is clear to a majority of people
Concur.
And the illegals voting?
It is insane to think the woman who was the first to drop out of the 2020 primary because everyone hated her. She went on the have the lowest approval rating for a VP in history, but now she is the front runner for the 2024 presidential election? I mean, I know Democrat voters are stupid, but are they really that stupid?
So far, Rasmussen has provided the best polling for Trump and with that, the most accurate polls.
DEI changes everything. It is a race to the bottom.
Can’t rely on them...they’re too “Republican”.
Yup. I think Harris gets tossed aside at the Convention.
I still say it’s Michelle. More authentically black. Better speaker. A reluctant warrior coming to save the nation in our hour of need. The media will love it.
I watched Tyrus last night. He hit he nail on the head. Don’t beat her up. Just sit back and wait. I think Trump is doing just that. Uncharacteristic of him but it shows he’s listening.
