Kamala Harris: Still Not Popular

There isn’t a whole lot of good news in this POLITICO/Morning Consult poll for Democrats, but they sure are trying to find any silver lining that they possibly can.

The point of the poll was to gauge how these 3,996 registered voters viewed Kamala Harris, although the poll also asked some basic questions about the state of the general election as well. In writing this up, POLITICO buried the lede just slightly:

The POLITICO | Morning Consult poll shows Biden and Trump tied at 45 percent apiece (a subsequent Morning Consult tracking poll has Biden up on Trump by 1 percentage point. Democrats have started to deploy tens of millions of dollars in TV ads to tout the administration’s accomplishments.

Here’s what POLITICO isn’t saying. The poll that has Biden and Trump tied (with a margin of error of 2 percent) was taken on May 28-29, right before the verdict in the Manhattan trial (the verdict was announced on May 30th). That “subsequent” poll that has Biden up by 1 point? That was taken June 7-9, well AFTER the verdict. So, even after the verdict which has Democrats using the words “convicted felon” every two seconds, Biden is up ONE point in a poll with a margin of error of… wait for it… ONE point. In other words, even after the Democrats have shot their proverbial wad on lawfare, the two candidates are still in a statistical tie. That should tell Democrats just how badly this race is going for them, but as we all know, Biden doesn’t believe the polls.
