A fresh Rasmussen Reports poll has dropped, and it's sending shockwaves through the Democratic camp. Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is trailing former President Donald Trump by a solid seven points nationally. Yes, you read that right – seven points!
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
In both a head-to-head and a five-way race, Trump leads by seven. But that's not all. Among independent voters, it's an absolute landslide: Trump is at a whopping 53%, while Harris limps behind at 33%. Nine percent prefer another candidate, and 5% remain undecided.
Independents Flock to Trump
According to the data, independents are flocking to Trump because they see Harris as a weak candidate on critical issues like border security. Appearing on Real America's Voice, Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports said that Harris' handling of illegal immigration is driving independents straight into Trump's arms. And who can blame them? Trump's record on border security is unbeatable.
Harris Struggles Across the Board
Harris isn't just struggling with independents. Among Black voters, a group she was expected to resonate with more than Biden, she's not gaining traction.
Breitbart further reports:
When asked if Kamala is “the best possible presidential candidate for the Democratic party this year” a plurality of 43 percent said no, while only 41 percent said yes. Among Democrats, 75 percent said yes, while 14 percent said no. Among Independents, only 28 percent said yes while a majority of 51 percent said no.
Of special interest is the fact that in the previous Rasmussen poll taken two weeks ago, Trump was leading His Fraudulency Joe Biden by six points. So, at least in this poll, despite the media gushing, and the mindless coronation, and the media memory-holing of inconvenient history, Trump has increased his lead by a point to seven.
In the RealClearPolitics average poll of national polls, Trump enjoys a small but stubborn 1.7-point lead over Harris. When third parties are added, the former president's lead increases to 2.8 points. We don't yet know the full effect of Harris stepping in for Decrepit Joe. What is useful, though, is comparing specific pollsters.
We won't really know the shape of the race for another couple of weeks. But then there will be at least two events that shake things up: the Democrat convention and any debate(s) between Harris and Trump.

The survey, conducted on July 22-24, 2024, included 1,074 likely voters and has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points. The confidence level is at 95%, so you can bet these numbers are solid.

Recent polls show a tight race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump leads in four of the five most recent national surveys: New York Times/Siena College: Trump leads by two points, CNN: Trump leads by three points, NPR/PBS/Marist: Trump leads by one point, Quinnipiac: Trump leads by two points and Reuters/Ipsos – where Harris leads by two points.
While most of these national surveys show a close contest, Trump's numbers tend to be stronger in the critical battleground states.

this woman couldn’t gett 1% of her own state last time. she was out before Iowa. do they actually think she will fare any better now we know what she is after these disastrous last 4 yrs? she can’t put together a sentence without laughing like a hyena. or spouting total gibberish. there is no way anyone in their right mind would think she is presidential. even her old boyfriend, Willie Brown, thinks she is competent. she is where she is due to her lack of morals. she essentially used her womanhood to succeed. there are stories and pictures on the web of her in a dog collar being shown at dem parties in California. some even suggest she was a high end call girl. will be surprised if they are still there. dems can spin anything like a top, and she will come out as mother teresa. what a mess obama has put us in with his fundamental change of America. dems cant define a woman, say men can birth children, and there are some 200 genders in the world. is there any one in that party who has a working brain and common sense???? I highly doubt it.
Never underestimate the Dem capacity to cheat!
I can accept the TDS/Trump hater vote but I cannot imagine anyone would vote “for” Harris. Their are some really stupid people who hate America that might but I like to think there are very few of them.
