A recent poll has thrown a little more fuel on the highly entertaining fire that is the upcoming election cycle, and it doesn’t look good for Vice President Kamala Harris. According to an AtlasIntel poll conducted with over 3,000 likely voters, former President Donald Trump is enjoying a three-point lead, snagging 49.5 percent of the support compared to Harris’s paltry 47 percent. It seems that the American public is waking up from whatever fog has been cast over them for the last few years and starting to show a preference for leadership that actually makes sense.
For those wondering if Harris stands a chance in a one-on-one match-up against Trump, she might want to start looking for a new career. In a head-to-head scenario, Trump leads Harris 49.8 percent to 48.1 percent. Even Jill Stein, the perennial Green Party candidate who somehow still finds time to show up despite winning about as much as a penny slot, is pulling a whopping 0.8 percent. That’s about as much traction as playing a kazoo at a rock concert.
The poll results even showcased a clear sentiment among voters when asked who they rejected more. About half of the respondents, 50.1 percent, threw Harris under the bus, while a mere 48.6 percent showed a similar disdain for Trump. It seems that even the potential backlash from voters isn’t enough to turn the tide in Harris’s favor, a rumor that could lead some to question if she’s got a solid plan or if she’s just winging it from one press conference to another.

In contrast, a recent survey from the New York Times/Siena College also confirmed Trump’s robust lead, albeit just a single point. But what’s one point among friends when the momentum is clearly in favor of the former president? Meanwhile, early voting numbers—especially in the all-important swing states—continue to indicate a favorable environment for Trump. Political analysts are even suggesting that the election might be decided on election day itself, which is a dramatic twist worthy of a Hollywood script.
Adding to the surge of confidence for Trump supporters, an Economist/YouGov survey revealed that 39 percent of respondents believe Trump is most likely to win, compared to 36 percent backing Harris. A significant 25 percent, however, are still twiddling their thumbs on who will emerge victorious. If this trend continues, Harris might want to consider investing in a good magician to pull off some last-minute tricks. As the polls shift and early voting numbers paint a compelling picture for Trump, one thing is certain: things are looking quite spicy for the conservative camp.
