Ever since Kamala Harris was anointed as Joe Biden’s replacement in the 2024 presidential race, Democrats and the mainstream media have teamed up to try and make it look as if she has the election in the bag. They’ve attempted to portray her as a candidate that is so popular that she couldn’t possibly lose to Donald Trump.
Unfortunately for them all, however, it’s quickly become clear that Harris isn’t nearly as beloved as they would have the public believe. Indeed, a new poll from the Great Lake states has just come out that spells bad news for Harris.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten spoke out on Monday to sound the alarm about Harris’ polling averages in the Great Lakes area. Her numbers are drastically lower than those of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in 2016 and 2020, respectively.
From Daily Caller:
Harris’ averages in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin dropped from 2-point advantages in September to 1-point leads, which stands significantly lower than President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s 8-point leads in those states on Oct. 14 of 2016 and 2020, Enten said on “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” The CNN reporter noted that Clinton lost those states and that Biden won by slim margins.“I have never seen such consistently tight polling such as this across the battleground states in all the time I have been looking and covering politics … I think this is what gives Democrats agita because yeah, it looks like Harris is slightly ahead, though well within the margin of error, but compared to where we were 4 years ago and 8 years ago, at this point Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, an average across all three,” Enten said. “Right now, you got Harris by 1 point above average of the three, but Joe Biden was up by 8, Hillary Clinton was up by 8.”
Clinton lost all three of these states. Later, Biden barely came out victorious in each of them.
Enten concluded his rant by calling on Democrats to “ask themselves at this particular point is can Harris actually hold on given that Joe Biden barely did and Hillary Clinton did not across these three states??”
The answer to this question might just be a resounding no!
This Is Very Bad News For Harris
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are each considered to be crucial swing states in this election. According to Enten, Trump will secure 312 electoral votes if he manages to outperform Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan by just 1 point.
With only a few weeks to go before the election, this poll is about as bad as it gets for Harris. We’d go so far as to say that it’s the stuff of nightmares for her and her supporters.
However, the poll also should not be too surprising to anyone when looking at Harris history. Until just a few months ago, Harris was polling as one of the least popular vice presidents in American history.
Democrat voters also never chose Harris as their nominee. Instead, she was anointed as Biden’s replacement by the Democrat establishment. It seems that this may now be coming back to bite top Democrats who had full confidence in her electability chances.
In the end, Harris simply is not a likable candidate, regardless of what the liberal machine says. Here’s hoping that this poll is indicative of what will happen come Election Day.
Key Takeaways:
- A new poll shows Harris’ numbers are going down in Great Lakes states.
- Her numbers are behind both Clinton and Biden.
- Harris may not be as popular as Democrats would have you believe.
