The former president also has a slight advantage over Harris.<\/p>\n<p>A CNN poll released earlier this week shows Trump leading Biden, 49%-43%, but it also showed him leading Harris, 47%-45%. Trump\u2019s 2-point lead over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> is in the poll\u2019s 3.5-point margin of error, while his lead over the president falls outside of that range. Harris also has an advantage with independent voters, 43%-40%, over Trump, while the former president leads Biden with that group, 44%-34%.<\/p>\n<p>The report from <em>Axios<\/em> suggests that Republicans are worried Harris could bring out voting blocs that do not show up the polls as consistently for Biden, and that a new running mate for Harris could shore up other groups for the Democratic ticket.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age<\/h2>\n<p>Trump, despite only being roughly four years younger than Biden, appears to be winning the age battle over the president. If Harris, 59, is at the top of the ticket instead of Biden, 81, it could turn the issue against Trump, 78.<\/p>\n<p>The report suggests that her elevation to the spotlight could shake the age concerns from the Democratic ticket, which has plagued the party\u2019s election strategy since the Atlanta debate.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reception of critiques of Harris<\/h2>\n<p>Another concern outlined by the report has to do with the way Trump will attack Harris, and how swing voters will perceive the jabs. <\/p>\n<p>Advisers to the former president are reportedly concerned that his attacks on a black, south Asian woman may not go over well with minority voters the Trump campaign has touted it is looking to convince to vote for him.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also already struggles in polling with women. While the debate pushed Biden behind Trump in several categories, including an overall 3-point swing in the former president\u2019s favor, his standing with women improved.
