Two weeks after becoming the Democratic nominee for president, Vice President Kamala Harris’s surge in enthusiasm and support has considerably narrowed the 2024 election.
Last week in these pages, we wrote that while there was limited data available, Harris was clearly an improvement over President Biden. Now, new national and state-level polling suggests that assessment might be even more prescient, and points to an election that will be much closer than many had expected.
Indeed, national polling underscores just how much the race has tightened.
According to the 10 most recent public polls conducted after Biden’s withdrawal and aggregated by RealClearPolitics, Trump leads by an average of just 1 point, down from 3 points on the eve of Harris replacing Biden.
Further, Harris has an outright lead over Trump in three of those recent polls, including those conducted by Daily Kos/Civiqs (49 percent to 45 percent), Reuters (43 percent to 42 percent), and Morning Consult (47 percent to 46 percent

People are excited about Kamala Harris because of open borders, more wars, more inflation, more high cost in gas, higher cost of everything and lower wages-—Yeah, I’m sure people are really excited. Give me a break!
I said it a month ago to some who were rejoicing over Biden tanking….be careful what you wish for. There are tons of people out there who will never vote for Trump but who were not going for Biden either. Now they are coming out of the woodwork to support Harris. President Trump is not helping himself with bringing up Harris’ family background, let others do that, he should stick to message and promote his successes in his previous administration. There is not enough time left to fiddle around with extraneous side issues, just focus on why you are a better choice for America.
If Kamala is beating Trump, then why is Jamie Raskin opening his mouth about trying to invoke the 14th Amendment against Donald Trump next January?
But everyone thought Harris was weaker.

Nobody will know her views, the corrupt media won't allow it.
I wish Freepers would stop posting that. Biden was pushed to the side because his polling numbers were awful — and they had been that way for months before that comical “debate.”

That’s fine, now tell me the poll numbers late on in the week since the economy is crashing like a rock

Under underestimate the stupidity of the American people...
Sure, but the media has been celebretizing her, as they did with Biden. Will she be allowed to actually speak and break the spell? As of now, we don’t know.
Agree with your assessment. It’s a little g ways to go but this isn’t looking good for Trump.
DIMs are toast. That is my bet.
The Hill
Gaslighting works on some people.
Then again, it depends on where they take the polls and how many they had to take to get the results they wanted.
*long ways to go*
I stopped reading when I got to The Hill.
The whole demotion and then disappearance of Biden, and subsequent coronation of Kamala Harris, and follow-on propaganda campaign has a very Soviet structure and feel to it.
