According to a CBS News poll published on Sunday, 83% of registered voters believe that Harris&#8217;s policies will be either entirely or mostly aligned with those of Biden\u201419% think they will be exactly the same, while 64% feel they will be mostly similar. Although Harris has not provided a comprehensive list of her policies, she has proposed an economic strategy aimed at addressing price-gouging, which critics argue amounts to mere price controls. The survey revealed that over one-third of respondents are unclear about what Harris stands for; specifically, 36% do not believe she has articulated her positions clearly. This uncertainty is particularly pronounced among independent voters, with 44% expressing similar doubts. In contrast, only 14% said former President Donald Trump had failed to clarify his stance.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also shows that Harris struggles to escape accountability for issues related to the economy and border security due to her role as vice president. Regarding economic impact, only 24% believe she has had &#8220;a lot&#8221; of influence on the economy during her tenure as vice president; another 33% think she has had some effect. Among independents surveyed, these figures were slightly lower at 22% and 28%, respectively. Notably, Harris cast the decisive vote in favor of Biden\u2019s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act\u2014a measure Republicans cite as contributing significantly to inflation.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about grocery prices under a potential Harris presidency, nearly half (48%) expect prices would rise\u2014this includes half of independent voters\u2014while just 22%, including only 17% of independents surveyed believe prices would decrease; another 30%, comprising roughly one-third of independents think there would be no change at all. Conversely, a plurality believes grocery prices would decline if Trump were re-elected.<\/p>\n<p>On border policy matters\u2014which have been part of her responsibilities since being appointed by Biden in early 2021\u201431% say she has had &#8220;a lot&#8221; impact on current policies while another 28% say she&#8217;s had some influence; independent voter responses largely mirrored these results.<\/p>\n<p>Despite failing to differentiate herself from Biden on specific issues thus far in her campaign for the presidency in 2024, polling shows that she currently leads Trump by three points (51%-48%), although he holds a slight edge among independents (50%-49%). This poll comes ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago where Democrats will advocate for four more years under a potential Harris administration before she officially accepts their nomination later this week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2326831,"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\/08\/kamala-harris-biden-policies-poll.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,4021,4223],"class_list":["post-2326830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-harris","tag-voters"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kamala-harris-biden-policies-poll.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326830","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\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2326830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2326831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2326830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2326830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2326830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
