In a hypothetical matchup among likely voters, Trump \u2063leads Harris by just 1 percentage point, which falls within the \u2064poll&#8217;s margin of error. This represents\u2064 a significant shift from\u200c earlier polling where Biden \u200ctrailed Trump by a\u200c wider margin after a poor debate performance.<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden&#8217;s exit, Harris\u2062 has quickly garnered support from Democratic \u2063voters, amassing \u2063a significant number of pledged delegates\u2014far exceeding the amount needed\u2064 for nomination. An overwhelming majority of those surveyed express a desire for the party to unite\u200d behind Harris, with only a small percentage seeking an alternative candidate.\u2062 Additionally, many \u200crespondents show approval\u200d of Biden&#8217;s\u200c decision \u200dto step down, indicating a shift in Democratic sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, at 59 years old, benefits from a generational gap relative to the 78-year-old Trump, potentially alleviating \u2062concerns over age that were directed at Biden. Her campaign has also effectively utilized \u2064social media, contributing to a renewed \u200bsense \u200cof hope among Democrats as they prepare \u200dfor the\u2063 upcoming election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kamala Harris closes in on Trump after Biden withdrawal: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1713635\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> is virtually tied with former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>, according to a <em>New York Times<\/em>\/Siena College <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/07\/25\/us\/elections\/times-siena-poll-toplines.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>poll<\/a> released Thursday, just days after President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> suspended his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In a hypothetical matchup among likely voters, Trump leads Harris, 48% to 47%, which is within the poll&rsquo;s margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.&nbsp;It is a noticeable improvement from when Biden trailed Trump by 6 percentage points during the July <em>New York Times<\/em>\/Siena College poll when the president had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-mcconnell-isnt-expecting-the-gop-to-retake-the-senate\/\" title=\"Why McConnell Isn\u2019t Expecting the GOP to Retake the Senate\">disastrous debate performance<\/a> in late June.<\/p>\n<p>Among registered voters, Trump beats Harris by 48% to 46%, which also falls within the poll&rsquo;s margin of error. Biden trailed Trump by 9 percentage points among registered voters after the debate, which gave credence to Democratic lawmakers who began publicly calling for Biden to end his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden announced he was no longer running for president, Harris has quickly galvanized support among Democrats behind her campaign. The vice president has 3,284 delegates who have pledged to support her, far more than the 1,976 delegates needed to secure the nomination, according to an <em>Associated Press<\/em> survey, and has amassed more than $126 million in fundraising.<\/p>\n<p>Just 14% of those surveyed said they wanted another candidate for the Democratic ticket, and the overwhelming majority, 70%, said they wanted the party to coalesce around Harris.

Harris polls at 60% support among voters under 30 and at 60% with Hispanic voters, a key constituency in battleground states that will determine the election. Before the June debate, only 48% of voters paid much attention to the election. Now that figure has risen to 64%.<\/p>\n<p>The party will meet at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month, but before then, it will hold a virtual roll call before Aug. 7 to comply with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/obama-in-discussions-to-endorse-kamala-harris-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Obama in discussions to endorse Kamala Harris - Washington Examiner\">state ballot certification deadlines<\/a>.

In a potential matchup with likely voters, Trump holds a slight edge over Harris, 48% to 47%, which falls within the poll&#8217;s margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. This marks a significant improvement from July, when Biden was trailing Trump by 6 percentage points after a poor debate performance. Among registered voters, Trump leads Harris by 48% to 46%, also within the margin of error. After Biden&#8217;s debate performance, he was behind Trump by 9 points among registered voters, prompting some Democratic lawmakers to call for him to exit the race. Since Biden&#8217;s announcement of his campaign suspension, Harris has quickly rallied support from Democrats, securing 3,284 pledged delegates\u2014well above the 1,976 needed for the nomination\u2014and raising over $126 million. Only 14% of respondents expressed a desire for a different candidate on the Democratic ticket, while 70% preferred to unify behind Harris. This reflects the momentum she has gained since Biden&#8217;s exit. A majority of participants, 65%, strongly approved of Biden stepping down, with another 22% somewhat approving. At 59, Harris is significantly younger than Trump, 78, which helps counter GOP claims about Biden&#8217;s age. Her youth and effective use of social media have given the Democratic Party renewed optimism for the upcoming election. Harris enjoys 60% support among voters under 30 and 60% among Hispanic voters, a crucial demographic in key battleground states. Interest in the election has also increased, with 64% of voters now paying attention, up from 48% before the June debate. The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago next month, but a virtual roll call will occur before August 7 to meet state ballot certification deadlines. Unless unexpected developments arise, Harris is expected to secure the nomination and announce her vice presidential choice. However, the poll also revealed some concerns for Harris; her favorability rating has increased from 36% in February to 46% in July, which is higher than Biden&#8217;s 43% but still behind Trump&#8217;s 48%. Additionally, half of the voters rated the economy as poor, and 25% as only fair, which could pose challenges for the vice president. The survey was conducted nationwide, leaving some uncertainty about Harris&#8217;s support compared to Trump in battleground states. More polling in the coming weeks will provide further insight as Election Day approaches in approximately 103 days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2308238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala_Harris_campaign44250.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,32438,3921,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2308237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-kamala-harris","tag-poll","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kamala_Harris_campaign44250.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2308237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2308237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2308237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2308238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2308237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2308237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2308237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
