Has the Kamala Harris Anointment reset the presidential race? Has it even reset voter assessment of Harris? Pollsters have rushed into the gap to answer those questions, perhaps a bit too soon to avoid a predicted honeymoon effect of finally burying Joe Biden.Actually, scratch that. At least in the first-blush polls, nothing much has changed at all -- not in the Trump-Biden head-to-head, and not in the Trump-Harris H2H polling either. Yet, anyway.Yesterday, the big news came from a Reuters-Ipsos poll that showed Harris up by two points, albeit among registered voters. The numbers on that seemed a bit low...

The likely 2024 presidential election campaign between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump begins with no clear leader, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection. Trump holds 49% support among registered voters nationwide to Harris’ 46%, a finding within the poll’s margin of sampling error. That’s a closer contest than earlier CNN polling this year had found on the matchup between Biden and Trump.

Almost three-fourths of registered Democrats want someone other than Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s nominee, a CNN poll found Wednesday. The finding exposes a lack of enthusiasm for Harris as the party’s de facto nominee, who appears to be hand-selected by top Democrats. By simply choosing Harris for the nomination instead of holding a democratic process, Democrats will nullify about 14 million votes cast during the Democrat primaries for President Joe Biden. The poll asked Democrats/Democrat-leaning independents who are registered to vote and prefer the Democrat Party to nominate a candidate other than Harris in 2024. “Is...

Trump: 49 percent Harris: 46 percent The poll sampled 1,631 voters from July 22-33 with a 3-point margin of error. CNN’s poll conducted in June found Trump led Harris by six points, underscoring the “honeymoon” period Harris enjoys as the de facto nominee of the struggling Democrat party. The poll found Trump’s support has not changed much since Harris...

Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, followed both the Republican National Convention where Trump on Thursday formally accepted his party's nomination and the Biden announcement on Sunday he was leaving the race and endorsing Harris. Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error. Harris and Trump were tied...

Former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in 13 national polls published in the month of July. The surveys indicate Harris might not have any better chance of defeating Trump than President Joe Biden did. Harris’s favorability rating is one point less than Biden’s, RealClearPolitics polling average found. Harris will be an easier candidate to defeat in November than Biden, Trump said Sunday after Biden dropped out as the Democrat’s de facto nominee. The 13 polls also contradicts polling from former pollster for President Barack Obama, Fernand Amandi, who published an internal survey on July 9 that found...

After a seismic shift atop the Democratic presidential ticket, the likely new nominee faces some of the same problems the current president does.While Kamala Harris is likely much less prone than Joe Biden to show cognitive issues by mixing up names and losing track of what she’s saying, she’s still got to find a way to make up ground against Donald Trump in the next 104 days.A HarrisX/Forbes poll released Monday (but conducted July 19 to 21, the day Biden left the campaign) has Trump in blowout territory, leading Harris 50% to 41% overall and 51% to 40% among likely...

The top Democrats have been flipping out since the debate, seeing their chances to win slipping away and finally being successful in pushing a very reluctant Joe Biden out of the 2024 race. They were losing in the polls with Biden, which is why they did it. It wasn't because they suddenly realized he was incoherent. It's all about holding onto control. They're all fearful of former President Donald Trump coming in, not because they really think he's a "threat to democracy" but because they fear he might actually start holding people accountable. So they threw Biden under the bus...

President Donald Trump began the new general election race with a majority of national support and a double-digit lead against Democrat frontrunner Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a poll. A Harris X/Forbes poll found Trump leading Harris 52 percent to 42 percent among 2,169 likely voters nationally. The survey, taken July 19-21, 2024, was conducted after journalist Mark Halperin’s accurate July 18 report that President Joe Biden would stand down as the presumptive nominee on Sunday amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from his own party. Another six percent of likely voters were undecided between Trump and Harris. When pressed...

The vast majority of Democratic voters still intend to vote for President Joe Biden despite concerns over his age, according to a recent poll of battleground states. Amid mounting concerns about Biden's age and growing pressure from prominent members of the Democratic Party to get the president to not seek re-election, a breakdown of YouGov polling data provided to Newsweek revealed that in seven key states, between 69 percent and 86 percent of Democratic voters who felt Biden was too old to serve another term as president, said they would still vote for him. YouGov provided Newsweek with the cross...

For all the talk of the Democrats' gloom at looking at the polls, and despite the presumption that surviving in the most bad-ass way possible being shot, triumphing utterly in a debate and having a convention, you might be a little dismayed looking at the polls. There appears to be no bump. There is. No-one should be surprised it's rather small; the days of people learning where a candidate stands and making up their minds only during campaign season is long gone. But while the bump maybe somewhat hidden, Trump has gained a few points in the polls. The only...

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself. A new poll from the AP-NORC Center found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say. As for Americans more broadly, they are more skeptical of how Harris would perform in the Oval Office. Only about 3...

POLITICS Trump's national lead over Biden grows — CBS News poll By Anthony Salvanto, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna Updated on: July 18, 2024 / 5:40 PM EDT / CBS News When former President Donald Trump accepts the Republican nomination Thursday night, he'll do so with his largest national lead over President Biden in the campaign thus far. A slight majority, including some who aren't voting for him, say Trump's words in the days since the assassination attempt have been more unifying than divisive. Voters feel the same way about Mr. Biden's response to the tragic events, too....

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...

President Biden trails “nearly every” Democrat tested as an alternative party leader with voters — including Vice President Kamala Harris — in seven critical battleground states, according to a disastrous new poll. A BlueLabs Analytics polling memo distributed to Democratic Party — which interviewed more than 15,000 voters in important swing states, including Pennsylvania — found that alternative candidates have an average three-point lead on the 81-year-old commander-in-chief. “Nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President. This includes Vice President Kamala Harris who runs better than the President,” the survey concluded.
