https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-just-got-some-great-news/ar-AA1sEY16Vice President Kamala Harris may have better odds in the presidential election than previously predicted.
A poll published Monday by the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago suggests that Harris has more than a marginal lead in favorability over the Republican presidential nominee, but is actually surging by double digits.
The nationwide poll, conducted last week, found Harriss favorability to be significantly higher than Trumps, with 51 percent of registered voters viewing Harris as a favorable candidate compared to just 40 percent who felt the same about Trump. Independent voters, notably, were equally split on their opinions of Harris, while the majority of independent voters58 percentfelt negatively about Trump.

Used to have Krystal Ball, who's decidedly left, on with a moderate Republican.
Now its unwatchable. Full throated MAGA.

(6,234 posts)I hate being pigeonholed into any kind of category. Last thing I've ever been at any point in my life is a low information voter. And every independent I've met in my life has been intelligent and pro-democracy. IOW, they never voted for Trump and have been disgusted by him since day 1. This is why I have a hard time believing this.

(8,489 posts)You'd have to be low information to be undecided in 2024. How's that instead?

They might actually be harmful, to the extent they encourage voters to think it might be okay to skip voting.

(1,106 posts)If a (national) poll of voters shows Trump's favorability rating at the mid 40's or higher, I have a hard time believing the other results because that's an indicator that they have oversampled Trump supporters.

(40 posts)Democrats can win the popular vote and still easily lose the election. Sad but true. Take nothing for granted.
