The Democratic Party’s chance of winning the US presidency has increased significantly once again after Joe Biden dropped out of the race and instead endorsed his running mate Kamala Harris. Harris, who could essentially be considered the Democratic presidential nominee, appears to have gained ground against Donald Trump in three key states, without which Democrats would probably have no chance of winning. But the November presidential election is a very open contest between the Republican presidential candidate who is preparing to make a comeback, and the Democratic candidate.
The New York Times A survey published by Although it shows the same lead over Trump with a statistical margin of error of 4 percentage points, before Biden dropped out, the Republican presidential candidate still had an advantage in the previous poll of registered voters who could vote, but that advantage disappeared in the Aug. 5-9 poll.
According to the poll, Harris also received 50% in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, compared to 46% for Trump.
Harris appears to have done well for voters who leaned toward the Democratic Party: Before Biden dropped out in May, 60% of them were satisfied with the candidate, but now 87% feel that way, according to data aggregated for the three states.
Meanwhile, Trump leads Harris by 9 percentage points when voters are asked who they think can handle the economy better.
On abortion, however, Harris’s strength has been boosted from a 13-point advantage over Trump during the Biden era: Harris now has a 24-point advantage, and more people believe the current vice president can handle the issue better than Trump, who, in order to support the far-right wing of the Republican Party, has taken a more negative stance, and through his nominees the Supreme Court has dropped abortion regulation from the federal to the state level, giving a clear path for regulation to move toward a blanket ban.
According to those surveyed, Trump leads the field of vision for the country: 60% say he has such a vision, and only 53% say Harris does.
Meanwhile, 41% say Trump is honest, compared to 52% for Harris. (That is, based on the data, there is a significant layer where it is true that Trump has a clear vision for the country and that he is not honest.)
The New York Times notes that Harris’s situation worsened on one indicator compared to Biden’s: 37 percent of those surveyed considered the outgoing president too liberal, while 44 percent said the same of Harris.
