Vice President Kamala Harris has been handed bad news from three different polls showing that she is losing support.
Two of the polls put her behind former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, and a third put her behind the Republican presidential candidate across the board
Two different polls of potential Pennsylvania voters, one by Cygnal and one by Emerson College, both gave Trump a one-point lead in the key state with 19 Electoral College votes. A separate poll from the Napolitan News Service gave the former president a one-point lead across the country.
After Joe Biden quit the race and gave Harris his support on July 21, Harris quickly became the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the presidency. At first, this gave Democrats a clear poll boost. In more than a dozen national polls, Harris did better than Trump, and she became the favorite to win in November with many of the biggest bookies.
“Between August 12 and 14, RMG Research polled 2,708 likely voters across the United States for Napolitan News Service, which found Trump leading Harris by 46 percent to 45 percent. When undecided voters leaning one way were included, Trump’s margin extended to 49 percent against 47 percent, compared to the last RMG poll a week ago, which put both candidates on 49 percent,” Newsweek reported.
“A Cygnal poll of 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, conducted on August 14-15, found 44 percent would back Trump in a presidential contest versus 43 percent for Harris and 5 percent for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump increased his polling by 2 points since the last Cygnal survey in July, while Kennedy saw his support fall by 4 points,” the outlet added.
In Pennsylvania, on August 13 and 14, Emerson College polled 1,000 potential voters for RealClearPolitics.
It showed that Trump had a one-point lead over Harris, with 49% of the vote to 49% for Harris. This went up to 51% vs. 49% when people who aren’t sure but lean toward one candidate were added to that candidate’s pool.
When Kennedy was taken into account, Harris and Trump were tied with 47% of the vote, while the independent candidate had 3%.
According to the poll, voters under 40 were more likely to support Harris than Trump (61% to 36%). However, Trump had a bigger lead among voters 50 to 69 (57%) than among voters of any other age.
When it came to Protestant voters, Trump was ahead 58% to 40%, and when it came to Catholic voters, Trump was ahead 60% to 39%. Eighty-four percent of atheist and agnostic voters chose Harris over thirteen percent, and 56 percent chose Harris over 39 percent of people who didn’t say what religion they followed.
Separately, a new survey for DailyMail.com shows that Trump is still on pace to become the 47th president, leading the vice president by two points.
“Our survey of 1001 likely voters found that 43 percent would vote for Trump if the election were tomorrow, compared with 41 percent who would vote for Harris,” the outlet reported, citing the polling results.
This comes as a new survey for DailyMail.com shows that the 45th president is still on pace to become the 47th president, leading the vice president by two points.
“Our survey of 1001 likely voters found that 43 percent would vote for Trump if the election were tomorrow, compared with 41 percent who would vote for Harris,” the outlet reported, citing the polling results.
The outlet went on to note that the poll’s margin of error is 3.1 percent, setting the November election up to be a “nail-biter.”
“A separate online survey teased out the attributes responsible for Trump’s lead. It found that voters still see him as the stronger, more charismatic candidate, who is more likely to get things done,” DailyMail.com noted, adding that despite Trump’s lead, Harris is doing better than Biden “across the board.”
The Trump campaign’s focus on the fact that Harris had an integral part of the “Biden-Harris administration,” having been given tasks by the president but largely failing to deliver favorable results, such as her role as “border czar.”
In fact, Trump’s campaign issued a response to the White House’s statement that there is no “daylight” between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, meaning the two share the same policy goals and objectives.
The Trump campaign directed its social media comment to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, adding that her remark proves that “Kamala owns the border crisis,” among other policies that have made it more difficult for Americans to get ahead while the world has become more unstable.
