LTP News Sharing:
By John Hinderaker | Powerline.com
The press is spinning Kamala Harris’s
candidacy wildly, to the extent of issuing “corrections” of
news items from several years ago that touted her
appointment as Joe Biden’s border “czar.” Apparently any
connection with Biden’s border policies is understood to be
toxic. But where does the race actually stand, as it begins
to get under way?
Rasmussen issued a
Trump v. Harris likely voter poll today that should be as
reputable as any:
The latest Rasmussen Reports
national telephone and online survey finds that, in a
two-way matchup, 50% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for
Trump, while 43% would vote for Harris. Four percent (4%)
say they’d vote for some other candidate and three percent
(3%) are undecided.
So, a seven-point lead, which tends to
confirm past data suggesting that Harris is not an
improvement on Biden, at least not before his final
collapse.
This poll, like pretty much all the
others I have seen, indicates that third and fourth party
candidates make no significant difference. And hardly anyone
is undecided, which suggests to me that Harris is closely
identified with the Biden Administration and very few voters
have an open mind about either her or Trump.
