Amid a growing debate over replacing President Joe Biden as a candidate, two new figures—Vice President Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama, wife of former President Barack Obama—have emerged as more competitive than Biden.
According to a poll by a research institution, SSRS, conducted on Tuesday at CNN’s request, voters nationwide favor former President Donald Trump over Biden by 6 points, 49% to 43%, with Trump significantly ahead of Biden.
The survey was conducted on 1,274 voters on June 28-28 and June 30-30th, following the presidential debate.
Under the hypothetical scenario where Harris competes against Trump, the race is expected to be neck and neck, as 47% of registered voters support Trump and 45% of Harris.
In another hypothetical match between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Trump, the support rates were 43% to 48%. In a scenario between United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and Trump, support rates were 43% to 47%. A hypothetical match between Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Trump recorded 42% and 47%, respectively.
Similar results were found in another poll.
In a survey of 1,070 registered voters conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, both Biden and Trump received 40% support. Meanwhile, in a hypothetical matchup between Harris and Trump, Harris garnered 42% while Trump recorded 43%, showing only a 1% point difference between them.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama was found to significantly outpace Trump in support, registering a 50% support rate compared to Trump’s 39%.
Democratic voters are turning their backs on Biden. In a CNN survey, 56% of Democratic supporters and respondents favorable to the Democratic Party said that the Democrats would have a higher chance of winning the presidential election if they nominated a candidate other than Biden.
In a separate Reuters survey, 32% of Democratic supporters said Biden should step down as a candidate, and 59% of respondents said he is too old to perform his duties.
