Kamala Harris has taken a five-point lead in a head-to-head matchup with Donald Trump, according to a new nationwide poll.

The Marquette University survey also found that when third party candidates including Robert F. Kennedy and Cornel West are added, Harris has an eight-point advantage.

The shocking results show Harris continues to see a bump in popularity after President Joe Biden announced he wasn't running.

Is the electorate really this fickle?

That is the key question. Is the electorate this fickle?

It cannot be. But turnout models can be.

I am actively challenging every practicing Christian I know with this: are you prolife? How prolife are you? Did you know there are zero prolife presidential candidates.
The republicans party does not own Christian votes anymore than the democrat party owns black votes.
Chemical abortion that Trump and Vance support are the planned parenthood money makers.
They are now the Grand Ole Planned Parenthood party.

Per the actual survey.

The survey was conducted July 24-Aug. 1, 2024, interviewing 879 registered voters nationwide, with a margin of error of +/-4.1 percentage points. For likely voters, the sample size is 683 with a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points.

The electoral vote is what matters,

BUT LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS. AFTER WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY REGARDING THE EXPOSURE OF THESE TWO FINALLY TO THE MEDIA, THEIR NUMBERS OR GOING TO COLLAPSE LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS.

They have no place to hide. There is so much out there now about Walz and her that the media will eventually have a field day with them.

Her ads are terrible. She claims that she a tough prosecutor who will go after Trump. Her three rallies so far were completely the same. She never goes off script.

What she says is pure fantasy, and she talks in platitudes..

There’s no meat.

Lastly, the black community is 100% coming down on her and him big time.

Damn, the lying ass, turd rolling “media” has suckered so many people. What a bunch of jackasses. They complained about Joe Pedo and did want him back and they decided they wanted an even bigger meathead running the country. This is a country of morons. LOL.

I saw a poll that said that 92% of Americans think that Harris is a turnip.

Just 3 weeks ago everyone thought the election was over after Trump survived.

Rasmussen just came out Aug1, Aug 4-7 poll. Nothing has moved Trump 49 Hamas 44, Kennedy 3.

Note don’t be gaslighted. Gallup shows as of July 31st 30% GOP, 28% DEM & 41% Independent. Of the Independent 47% lean GOP and 41% lean DEM. The bad polls are weighting DEM by 3%-11% to get their numbers. Rasmussen weighing DEM 35% GOP 33%.

It can be accurate, but marquette isn’t exactly known for being accurate.

this would represent an 8-10 point swing, which is difficult to believe for anyone with a frontal lobe that is working.

I think the polling was limited to “The View” and their camera crew.

Little Timmy Walz is a bigger POS than I thought he was.

The same current poll says that among registered voters Harris has a 50% UNFAVORABE rating.

Unfortunately Rasmussen today is not what Rasmussen once was... they are definitely more of an advocacy organization over a polling one today.

IMHO there has been a slight shift in the race, but 8-10 point swing? Hardly.

The narrative needs to be a big swing, so expect some push polling and outliers to come around to try to skew the polling averages to make the race look tighter.

Right now the narrative is Kamala is the second coming, however I don’t expect that to continue. Trump does need to change the narrative, which he is quite adept at doing... but for the last 2 weeks the Kamala is the 2nd coming has been the headlines and her VP pick gave them a few more cycles... but I don’t see that lasting much longer.

The dem ticket is a ticket to solidify and motivate the base, it won’t change the outcome.... There is no path to 270 for any democrat, let alone 2 hard care liberals.

What is “shocking” is that it is only 5 points

Within the media it is 100 points

I always look at poll internals, and of the recent polls putting Harris ahead, Democrats have been over-sampled by at least 5 points.

That information is not available for this survey, but some of the questions indicate that is also the case. The poll asks if Trump's convictions are lawful, and 61% of respondents said 'yes.' That tells me this poll has heavily over-sampled Democrats.

“Is the electorate really this fickle?”

And stupid, yes.
