Kamala’s Worst Mistake Was Not Distancing from Biden: Poll
In a surprising turn of events, a recent DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners national poll has revealed what voters consider to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s most significant misstep in her campaign against former President Donald Trump.
The poll, which surveyed 1,000 likely voters, indicates that Harris’s biggest blunder was her reluctance to distance herself from President Joe Biden’s policies and administration.
This revelation comes after Harris’s appearance on “The View” last month, where she struggled to identify any aspects of Biden’s presidency she would change. Her response, “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” has apparently struck a chord with voters who are looking for a fresh approach to leadership, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The survey shows Trump holding a narrow lead over Harris, with 49% support compared to her 46%. This puts Trump on track to potentially become the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004, a fact that will likely energize conservative voters.
Harris’s campaign has faced other challenges as well.
Her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as a running mate and the absence of high-profile entertainment acts like Taylor Swift at the Democratic National Convention were also cited as missteps by survey respondents.
Interestingly, Harris recently tried to create more distance between herself and the Biden administration.
In a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, she stated, “Let me be very clear: My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.” She emphasized that she represents a “new generation of leadership” and would bring fresh ideas to the White House.
However, this pivot may have come too late for some voters. The survey suggests that Harris’s initial alignment with Biden’s policies has left a lasting impression, potentially hampering her ability to present herself as a candidate of change.
For conservative voters, Harris’s record on border security remains a significant concern. This issue, combined with her recent characterization of Trump as a “fascist,” has likely solidified opposition among right-leaning voters.
The race remains incredibly close, with polling averages showing Trump and Harris within half a point of each other nationally. Both candidates are focusing their efforts on seven crucial swing states that could determine the outcome of the election.
As the campaign enters its final days, Harris faces an uphill battle to overcome the perception that she represents a continuation of the status quo. Her recent attempts to isolate herself from the Biden administration may be too little and too late for voters seeking a clear alternative to the current leadership.
For conservatives, this survey provides encouraging signs. Trump’s narrow lead and Harris’s struggles to define her own identity separate from Biden suggest that the Republican message is resonating with voters. The potential for a GOP popular vote victory for the first time in two decades is particularly energizing for the conservative base.
As November 5th approaches, both candidates are making their final pitches to voters.
In the end, Harris’s biggest challenge may be convincing voters that she represents genuine change, while Trump’s campaign continues to position him as the outsider ready to shake up Washington once again. For conservative voters, the choice between these two visions for America’s future has never been clearer.
