Stumbling Out Of The Gate: Harris Starts Race Down 11 Points, Even Worse Than Biden

by Tyler Durden

Democrats' enjoyment of the Kamala Harris campaign's "new car smell" may prove short-lived, as a brand new poll shows the vice president trailing former President Trump by a whopping 11 points among likely voters -- matching up even worse than President Biden, who trailed by 10.

The Forbes/HarrisX survey was conducted July 19-21 -- that's after the Republican convention but before Biden was forced to withdraw from the race.

“Kamala Harris starts her 2024 battle behind Trump, who is enjoying a strong post-convention bump," said HarrisX chief pollster Dritan Nesho.

“If the polls don’t start to close and show better traction for her, Biden’s decision to step aside for Harris may be a case of ‘too similar, too late.’ That said, Vice President Harris alleviates concerns among the democratic base and is better able to sway undecided independents and suburban women, showing some promise.”

In an ominous note for the Harris campaign, aside from her worse margin against Trump, in her head-to-head matchup, fewer voters were undecided than they were in a Biden-Trump scenario. Among likely voters, Trump led Biden 49%-39% with 12% undecided. However, versus Harris, Trump led 51%-40%, with 9% undecided.
