Harris Gains With Democrats Base And Independents

US

Politico analysis of polling 'crosstabs' has found that Vice President Kamala Harris has made, “eye-popping gains with traditional, core Democratic base voters while also appealing to independents.”

  • Politico: “Harris has registered gains across a wide range of demographic categories, but the improvement has been especially pronounced among young voters, non-white voters and women voters. Taken together, the numbers suggest that the Harris swap has largely repaired a fraying Democratic coalition, has repaired the party’s image presidentially among independents, and has dragged the election back to a tossup, at the minimum. In short, she has managed to do something that every candidate can only dream of: appeal to her base without turning off swing voters.”
