Harris Leads Trump by 6 Points Following Debate Performance

[Social Media]

 

Vice President Kamala Harris surged ahead with a six-point lead over former President Donald Trump after last week's presidential debate, according to a new poll released by Morning Consult. This latest poll marks a significant shift in the race, which had previously been a close contest between the two candidates.

 

Prior to the debate, most polls had shown Harris and Trump in a near tie. However, Harris’ strong performance on various key issues seems to have altered the political landscape. Eli Yokley, a political analyst at Morning Consult, stated in an email that “a majority of likely voters — including 1 in 5 Republicans — believe Harris won the debate, and [her] performance appears to be crystalizing her national lead over the former president.”

 

The Morning Consult poll was conducted between September 13 and 15, surveying 11,022 likely U.S. voters. The poll, which has an unweighted margin of error of +/-1 percentage point, revealed Harris with 51% of support compared to 45% for Trump. Morning Consult described this as a "new record" for Harris, making her the first Democratic presidential nominee to reach this level of support. "Her 51% of support among likely voters, which is also at a record high, is driven largely by her best figures to date among Democrats, Biden 2020 voters, liberals, women, 18- to 34-year-olds, and millennials," the poll noted.

 

The poll's methodology focused on registered voters likely to participate in the upcoming election. Respondents were asked to rate their likelihood of voting on a scale of 1 to 10, with "1" representing those who would definitely not vote and "10" indicating those certain to vote. Only individuals who rated themselves as an "8" or higher were considered likely voters. The poll did not account for voters who were initially undecided but were later asked to indicate which candidate they were leaning toward.

 

Both Harris and Trump are targeting young voters, a group that includes many undecided or persuadable individuals. While Trump has been trying to appeal to younger male voters through appearances on popular podcasts and at UFC events, Harris has focused on young women, many of whom have become more politically engaged in recent years, especially around issues like reproductive rights.

 

Harris’ momentum was further boosted when pop star Taylor Swift publicly endorsed her on Instagram, where Swift has a massive following of 284 million. The singer's post encouraging voter registration led to 338,000 visits to Vote.gov within 15 hours, potentially increasing Harris’ support among young voters.

 

According to Yokley, Harris "is enjoying a positive news cycle among the likely electorate this year that's earning her positive marks and aligns with her best numbers yet in the head-to-head contest" against Trump.

One single poll is not reliable enough. It's better to use aggregators and to watch the evolution of the aggregate over time.

I suspect this lead will grow that debate is the first time many trump supporters have really seen him outside the faux news bubble being fact-checked and speaking to a courageous intelligent articulate woman who has experience handling high level criminals.It (the debate) was healing for many of us and a long time coming.

[gargamon]

Go girl, go!

 

Trump's going to need another debate. It's his only hope. Hahaha.

How long is a long time coming?  3 1/2 years?  Oh wait, wasn't she in charge the last 3 1/2 years?  Ever read any of KH's criminal cases and the results?  Of course not.  Try it.

Something you liberals havent learned yet is what happens when you celebrate too early, you will learn this time

His debate performance was an embarrassment, even by the low standards one must apply to his minor, declining intellect. 

 

Stir fried dogs and cats? Israel will no longer exist 24 months after she takes office? I will end the war in Ukraine, possibly even before I take office. Dictators are wonderful. 

 

She baited him, and he swallowed hook, line and sinker. What a goon. What a fool. He not only lost the debate, he got bloodied, and knocked out cold, in the first 5 minutes. He was struggling for oxygen. He was flailing. He deserved to lose. 

 

Anyone but Trump. However his pic of JD Vance as VP was a wet dream for most Democrats. Every time he speaks it is really bad, and I think it's only going to get worse. The man is an empty suit, he has zero charisma, and very little to say. Picking him was a monumental mistake by Trump, and listening to anything that his offspring has to say is always going to backfire. They are all subpar intellects, just like he is.

This looks good. I will vote not necessarily "for" Harris but decidedly against Trump.

However, I believe (predict) that neither side will accept the election results if they lose, and there will be "blood in the streets." I'll be watching all that here in the jungle-filled mountains of Thailand from my easy chair on CNN.

Still better than someone like Walz who lies about their miltary service and wants tampons in boys toilets.

Yeah that's funny, you fell for the media lie, there are very few boys bathrooms that have tampons, there are however some clinics within the schools that offer tampons, so it seems as if you're quite confused and were easily baited. 

 

And who lied about the military service? Vance spent 6 months in an air conditioned office, writing press releases. Not exactly laying your butt on the line is it?

He didn't lie about his military service and why would anyone object, let alone ridicule, providing free sanitary products in schools?  Other than the likes of Trump and Vance that is!

Yes he did, he admitted it but tried to claim it was just a grammatical error.

It's fine in girl's toilets. But [newsflash] boys don't have periods.

Even though politics is a charade and showbusiness for ugly people, there are hints for people who don't have their heads up their ass. A brown woman being showcased as a 'leader' of not just any Western country, but the most powerful one currently, signals the real beginning of the end of Western civilization. There maybe a renaissance in the future, but I feel more happy by the year that I took an interest in Asia years ago. If that lady is given the nod, it's goodnight Irene. And once again liberals you need to stay in the West and enjoy the system and lifestyle you wanted to usher in.

[RichardColeman]

Believe this rubbish at your peril - This is a left wing organization.

 

from link : Overall, we rate the Morning Consult as Left-Center biased based on polling that moderately favors Democratic candidates and reasonably low-biased news reporting.

So your premise is only white men can rule? Got it. And did you trade your white robe in for a red hat?

A diet of high powered, high quality, nutritious food feeds a great mind.

I think Trump is hoping for a rebound once his ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT’ scream gains traction.

More proof that Diet Coke does not work.

 

Reminds me of a McDonald’s visit back in Blighty. A huge woman in front of me with an arse the size of a bus ordered the supersized Big Mac meal with a sundae.

And a Diet Coke.

I dont consume mainstream media so i dont see what you are seeing. Trumps rallies get more people than kamalas. You seem to be premature in celebration

I am not celebrating. I would prefer Trump to win for the entertainment value. Like watching a comedy. Him and his inbred supporters.

So you don’t read the news, and believe in tik tok and Facebook posts. Even Trump admits the election wasn’t stolen as you believed. Plus he pushed that dodgy vaccine on everyone and completely botched a payment for sex to a pornstar, is fat and wears makeup.

 

Bring him back for 2028.
