Vice President Harris Gets Boost In New Democrat Poll

US

A new survey from top Democrat pollster, Bendixen & Amandi, has found that Vice President Kamala Harris is now running ahead of Trump, 42 percent to 41 percent in 2024 presidential election voting intentions.

  • The poll found that, “President Joe Biden still in contention against Donald Trump, but at further risk of losing the election — with other leading Democrats now surging ahead.”
  • Politico notes on the poll: “Of the 86 percent of likely voters who watched all or part of the [first presidential] debate, just 29 percent said Biden has the mental capacity and physical stamina to serve another four-year term, compared with 61 percent who said he does not. Only 33 percent said he should continue as the Democratic nominee, versus 52 percent who believe he should not. And just half of Democrats said Biden should be the party’s nominee or is mentally and physically fit to serve out another term.”
