Harris Struggles In Polls As Trump Gains Ground On Key Issues Just Before Election Day.

Polling results are a curious beast, especially when they show the Vice President floundering while a former President reclaims his momentum. The latest releases from The Wall Street Journal have Vice President Kamala Harris staring down a nosedive in her national lead against Donald Trump. The numbers, which emerged late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, reveal that Harris can’t seem to catch a break with less than two weeks until Election Day. It appears her presidential aspirations are rapidly heading for the proverbial iceberg.

According to the Journal’s survey, Trump is leading Harris by a slender 47-45 percent. Of course, this leads to the delightful caveat that it’s well within the margin of error, so it’s essentially a statistical toss-up, or as some might say, a typical Tuesday for Harris. In a more direct showdown, the former President edges her out further, boasting a 49-46 percent lead. Remember, just weeks ago she was ahead, albeit barely. Sounds like a classic case of “let’s not count the chickens that definitely weren’t laid in August.”

As if things couldn’t get worse for Harris, voters have warmed up to Trump while turning away from her in droves. Since August, her approval ratings have taken a nosedive, shifting from neutral ground to a worrying 53% disapproval compared to just 45% who think she’s doing a great job as VP. Meanwhile, the statistics paint Trump in a more flattering light, with a 52% approval rating creeping up amidst his former administration’s memories. It’s hard not to picture Trump grinning ear to ear, seeing the apparent backlash against his successor. 

 

When it comes to hot-button issues like the economy and immigration, Trump is running circles around Harris. In a delightful turn of events for conservatives, voters by significant margins prefer Trump’s approach compared to the present administration’s strategies. A poll indicates a whopping 53% are convinced Trump would manage the economy better than Harris, who managed to snag just 41%. Given the current economic situation, it’s perhaps surprising Harris rates this poorly, but anyone with eyes can clearly see that the proof is in the pudding—or the lack of it, in this case.

Even on the abortion issue, where Harris had a lead, her advantage has waned. A small majority still believes she would handle abortion better, but it’s significantly less than her previous standing. Her “lead” has dropped from a comfortable 54-34 to a mere 51-37. It may be, that like many things in politics, it’s all a matter of optics, and Harris might want to reconsider the image she’s projecting in her campaign slogan—whatever that may be.

The results don’t paint a pretty picture for Harris and team. A staggering 54% of voters think she would merely carry on with Biden’s policies without shaking things up much. This leaves them reminiscing for a touch of Trump’s more spirited unpredictability, which in today’s polarized climate might just be the winning strategy. As if the positions couldn’t get any clearer, the Republican congressional candidates are also leading, which indicates that the party hasn’t lost its grip on the electorate despite ongoing antics from self-proclaimed progressives.

All things considered, as the final days of the campaign approach, it becomes increasingly clear that Harris is watching her chances slip away, as Trump gears up for a comeback. Harris’s game plan will need more than just charisma to stay afloat; she may want to start getting creative, or her supporters might dim the lights on her campaign sooner than expected. If these polling trends continue, she might find herself out of the running quicker than one could say “Build Back Better.”
