Kamala Harris’ political career
Kamala Harris, current vice president of the United States, has not yet received the official nomination to represent the Democratic Party in the next presidential elections. However, her current standing places her as the Democratic politician most likely to take over the leadership following Joe Biden’s resignation. This statement is not only supported by her political career, but is also reflected in her numbers.
A favorable electoral outlook
According to the calculations being used, Harris already has a significant majority of delegates that would allow her to become the virtual Democratic candidate. This fact becomes more evident with a recent poll that reveals the potential support that she would receive in a confrontation against Donald Trump, candidate of the Republican Party. According to the survey conducted by CNN, Harris’ electoral perspective surpasses that of Biden, although she is three points away from the magnate.
Survey analysis
Data shows that Donald Trump has 49% support among registered voters, while Kamala Harris stands at 46%. This result is within the poll’s margin of error, indicating a very close race. This is, without a doubt, the most competitive result that the Democrats have achieved in the latest studies carried out by CNN. In addition, respondents express solid support for Biden’s decision to withdraw from it, generating an atmosphere of enthusiasm among Democratic voters towards Harris as their chosen candidate.
Voter mobilization
Harris’ possible candidacy has produced a significant mobilization effect among voters. Those who previously did not favor either of the two main candidates, Biden or Trump, are now divided: 30% lean towards Harris and 27% towards Trump. This change is notable, since half of the voters who support Harris (50%) affirm that their vote is more favorable towards her than against the Republican, thus contrasting with the support that Biden received, where many motivated his election. for avoiding voting for Trump.
Harris attracts new groups of voters
Kamala Harris is also gaining support among those who previously felt distant from Biden. Among voters under 45 who support Harris, 43% say they are more likely to vote for Trump than against him, compared with just 28% of Biden voters in the same age group. Among African American voters who support Harris, 57% say they are making a pro-Trump stance, compared with 48% who supported Biden in similar situations. It is also noted that 54% of women who support Harris say they are proactively voting for her, compared with 43% of female Biden supporters in previous periods.
