In the latest general election race, former President Donald Trump is starting with a significant lead over Democrat frontrunner Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a recent Harris X/Forbes poll of 2,169 likely voters conducted from July 19-21, 2024, Trump is ahead of Harris by 10 points, with 52 percent of national support compared to her 42 percent.
This comes after journalist Mark Halperin’s report on July 18 that President Joe Biden would withdraw as the presumptive nominee following a pressure campaign from within his own party.

An additional six percent of likely voters were undecided between Trump and Harris. When asked to choose a candidate they were leaning towards, 35 percent selected Trump, and 65 percent favored Harris.
When including leaners in the full sample of likely voters, Trump leads with 54 percent to Harris’s 46 percent.
Among independents from the larger sample of 2,753 registered voters, Trump leads the vice president with 48 percent to 33 percent.
They are tied among Hispanics at 45 percent, while Trump has an 11-point lead among suburban voters at 51 percent to 40 percent.
He also has the support of 25 percent of black registered voters, while Harris is backed by 65 percent.
Support for Trump among registered Republicans is notably higher than support for Harris among Democrats.
Of registered Republicans sampled, 92 percent support Trump, while only 83 percent of Democrats would vote for Harris.
The poll also reveals that registered Democrats are divided on whether Harris or Biden should be the nominee, with each receiving 45 percent of the response.
This division emerged after a significant report and indicates that nearly half of the party’s voters were disappointed in what transpired.
Independents slightly favored Harris at 39 percent to 36 percent.

The margin of error (MOE) for the entire registered voter sample is ± 1.9 percentage points, but the MOE for likely voters is currently unknown.
After winning all Democratic nominating contests and receiving 14 million votes, Joe Biden faced a pressure campaign, reportedly involving former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who gave him an ultimatum to exit the presidential race “the easy way or the hard way.”
The party’s nominee will now be chosen by a few thousand delegates at the August convention, with no input from voters.

Polls and more polls, ………….all irrelevant.
The DNC election fraud apparatus is still for 2024 intact, and everyone ignores it.
TOO TRUE!
There are people supporting Harris and even touting her accomplishments. But they fail to mention how she achieved those accomplishments. And the fact is that her past performance is at the very least questionable. She certainly hasn’t shown any potential in the last four years. However, all this attention currently being given to her is a distraction. It is distracting voters from the real issues that are facing our nation, issues like the economy, inflation, border security, and energy independence among others.
Question.who is stupid enough to vote for Heels up the Headboard Harris.A completely useless human that has accomplished nothing while the taxpayers housed and paid her travels and other wastes
AMEN!!!!
Babsan, the Black Caucus endorsed the Cackling POS, and the lies they still believe is that she’s Black. But intelligent people know she’s not and they always ignore the fact that Cackling Harris’s father owned Black slaves. But since their all Communist Democrats they give them a pass.! It’s absolutely sickening that Democrats are the party of slave owners and part of the KKK, while the Communist call Republicans racist, white supremacist and Neo Nazis.
Trump ought to be leading by 20%.
What stupid sight is this? Kamala Harris is leading by 2 percent in the polls. When Shapiro or Kelly are appointed as her vice president it will zoom to about 40 percent. This e-mail I received from this lying website lies like the CHUMPS 30,000 lies. You reprehensible republicans are sheiting your pants like the cry baby the CHUMP IS.
If Democrats win this election, they will finish destroying America! Whenever you hear or read that Republicans are doing something bad you can be assured that Democrats are the ones doing ‘it,’ not Republicans!
Democrats traded a brainDEAD Biden for a brainLESS Harris. Biden’s brain was severely damaged, but at least he had one. Harris’ head has nothing in it. Stupid is what stupid does. You can’t teach stupid!
AMEN!!!!!!
Dems U seeded this Years ago
“Trump is ahead of Harris by 10 points, with 52 percent of national support compared to her 42 percent.”
Will the MSM and these 42% who like Harris ALSO be utterly dumbfounded when she shows her complete disconnect at the next debate??
Harris will make a horrible candidate!!!!!
And a worse President! Democrats are only out for power, not to protect our country but evidently to destroy us!
Dems do one thing good, and that is to lie, they’ve practiced and perfected if throughout the years, especially during elections. C’mon Repubs, stand up to these lies, prove them wrong, and fight fire with fire. When the Dems make up something to complain about, one knows they have been doing that thing first and foremost (learned from Nutty Nancy).
I don’t trust those poll numbers!!! Harris’ numbers were always lower than Obidens…. Now she’s polling this high????….. I don’t believe it….
