US Presidential polls 2024: Kamala Harris favored over Joe Biden, CNN poll shows; pressure grows for Biden to step down
US Presidential polls 2024: A recent CNN poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris has a better chance of winning the upcoming US presidential election in November than President Joe Biden.
Biden’s approval rating of 81 has dropped sharply following his poor debate performance in Atlanta last week against Donald Trump. Since the debate, there has been growing support within the Democratic Party for Biden to resign and allow another candidate to lead the charge for the crucial November 5 election.
The poll also indicates that Harris is competitive against Trump in a theoretical matchup, with 47 per cent of registered voters favoring Trump and 45 per cent favoring Harris.
This result falls within the margin of error, suggesting no definitive frontrunner in such a scenario.
he poll notes, “Harris’ slightly stronger performance against Trump is partly due to broader support among women (50% favor Harris over Trump compared to 44% for Biden against Trump) and independents (43% favor Harris vs 34% for Biden).”
