Harris is enjoying her honeymoon…
Vice President Kamala Harris is currently experiencing a surge in popularity as the Democrat Party coalesces around the new presumptive nominee.
However, conservative and liberal pundits have predicted Harris’s new rise in popularity is likely to be short-lived.
James Carville, the Democrat strategist known for masterminding Bill Clinton’s 1992 election victory, aired concerns that Kamala’s best days are already behind her and Republicans will soon mount a dominant campaign against her.
He reiterated the purpose of his commentary to the host and guest and argued, “All I’m doing is saying watch out people, don’t get too far out there. If we don’t win this, all this good feeling is going to evaporate and be all for naught and that’s what I kinda think my role is right now.”
Carville had also spoken about Harris’ campaign on The Don Lemon Show, arguing that “right now, she’s doing well, very well,” but warning that the best day of her campaign is already behind her as the election heats up.
“This is the best day that she’s going to have for the rest of the campaign, [Republicans are] coming,” he said. “They were hit real bad, they were confused, but they’re getting un-confused now and Democrats have got to get ready.”
New polls signal a new wave of support for Harris in the battleground state Michigan mere weeks after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called the state “unwinnable” for Democrats after Biden’s shocking debate performance. (RELATED: Governor Warns Michigan Is ‘Unwinnable’ For Biden)
Harris and Trump are both polling at 41 percent, according to a Detroit News-WDIV-TV poll conducted this week and released late Thursday.
Harris is making gains on Trump in Michigan in other polls, too. A survey released by Emerson College Polling and The Hill on Thursday found Trump leading Harris by 1 point in Michigan, a 3-point improvement over President Biden’s performance in the state.
Michigan is a crucial swing state that Democrats have been focused on holding on to after Biden won it in 2020 and Trump won it in 2016.
The Vice President’s popularity appears to be growing in New Hampshire too.
According to a poll released Thursday by the University of New Hampshire’s Survey Center, Harris, who announced her candidacy just this week after President Biden withdrew from the race Sunday, is leading Trump in the Granite State 49 percent to 43 percent.
Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earned only 4 percent support.
In a two-way contest between Harris and Trump, her lead increased slightly; 53 percent said they would support the vice president, and 46 percent said they back the former President.
A separate survey, conducted by the Saint Anselm College’s Survey Center at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, also found Harris holding a 6-point lead over Trump, 50 percent to 44 percent, among registered voters.
The survey also found Harris’s favorability at 49 percent, ranking higher than Biden’s 39 percent and Trump’s 43 percent.
“Harris has achieved a level of partisan enthusiasm that Biden did not, especially among the liberal base,” Neil Levesque, the executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, said in a statement. “As Harris takes the lead in the campaign, shifts in voter perceptions are expected to continue.”
