Kamala Harris Leads Trump in Latest Poll: Is She the New Democratic Darling?

wikitree Views  

Vice President Kamala Harris is making waves.

Recent polling results yesterday indicate that Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over former President Donald Trump.

According to a survey conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, Harris received 44% favorability, compared to Trump’s 42%.

The survey, which included 1,018 registered voters and was conducted the day before the announcement, has a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.

Earlier this month, a poll showed Trump leading by 1 percentage point, and in another survey conducted from the 15th to the 16th, both candidates were tied at 44% each.

In a hypothetical multi-candidate matchup, Kamala Harris outperformed Donald Trump, securing 42% of the vote compared to Trump’s 38%. Independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. received 8%. According to the survey, 56% of voters described Harris as “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges,” while only 49% said the same of Trump. In contrast, only 22% of respondents believed President Joe Biden was mentally fit to perform his duties. This shift in the Democratic candidacy from Biden to Harris may increasingly spotlight the age issue in Trump’s campaign.

Another poll conducted by Yahoo News and YouGov from the 19th to the 22nd showed that Harris and Trump tied at 46%. In a multi-candidate scenario, Trump led with 43% compared to Harris’s 41%. However, it is important to note that this poll was conducted before Biden officially withdrew from the race and Harris accepted her candidacy on the 21st.

Trump’s campaign explains the current dynamics as a “honeymoon effect.” Tony Fabrizio claimed in an internal document titled “Harris Honeymoon” that “once the honeymoon period ends, voters will refocus on Harris’s role as Biden’s co-pilot.”

Following Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, a Morning Consult poll showed Harris at 45% and Trump at 47%. Considering that Harris trailed by 6 percentage points before Biden’s exit, it is clear that her support has improved.
