In what’s shaping up to be the political equivalent of a heavyweight boxing match, former President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are going head-to-head in the race for the White House. Democrats are trying to convince voters they always wanted Harris to be president.
As if they didn’t just dump Joe Biden and scramble to find someone to replace him! They found Kamala, a woman they won’t mind losing to Donald Trump.
The media quickly churned out questionable polls right after Harris took the nomination. Despite the fact that she is the same failure as Joe Biden, they wanted us to think Harris was a shoo-in. But as the dust settles, Americans are seeing the light. A new CBS poll shows that Harris is in the same boat as Biden.
From The Post Millennial:
A recent CBS News poll has found that former President Donald Trump holds a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris on key issues such as the economy and immigration…Trump led Harris 56 percent to 43 percent among those who said the economy is a major factor. On inflation, he held a 61 percent to 38 percent lead, and on the border, his advantage was a striking 76 percent to 24 percent.
If the latest CBS News poll is any indication, Harris might want to start working on her defense strategy because Trump is coming out swinging—and he’s landing some heavy punches on the key issues that matter most to voters.
Let’s start with the economy, because, let’s face it, that’s what everyone’s talking about. According to the poll, a whopping 83 percent of voters say the economy is a major factor in their decision for the upcoming election.
And guess who they’re backing? Trump, by a comfortable margin. He’s leading Harris 56 percent to 43 percent among those who rank the economy as their top concern. The message here is loud and clear: Voters are feeling the pinch, and they think Trump is the guy to turn things around.
But it’s not just the economy where Trump is trouncing Harris. Inflation—a word that seems to be on everyone’s lips these days—is another sore spot for voters, and Trump’s got a 61 percent to 38 percent lead over Harris on this issue. For all the talk about who’s responsible for rising prices, it seems voters have made up their minds, and they’re pointing the finger squarely at the current administration.
Then there’s the border. The poll shows Trump with a jaw-dropping 76 percent to 24 percent lead over Harris on the issue of immigration. Let’s put it this way: If border security were a football game, Trump would be running up the score, and Harris would still be trying to find the end zone. Voters are clearly skeptical about Harris’ ability to tackle the border crisis, with 48 percent believing that illegal crossings would skyrocket under her watch.
Perhaps one of the most telling stats from the poll is this: 86 percent of voters say they know what Trump stands for, while only 64 percent say the same about Harris. In politics, perception is everything, and right now, it seems Trump has the edge when it comes to defining his message. Harris, on the other hand, still seems to be trying to figure out how to make her mark.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump holds a significant lead over Harris on the economy, inflation, and immigration.
- Harris leads on issues related to race and diversity, abortion, and the state of democracy.
- Nationally, Harris has a narrow lead, but the race is tied in key battleground states.
