What’s even more worrying for those hoping to boost support by avoiding the entire primary process and making Kamala Harris the Democratic nominee is that the people they should be reaching out to most aren’t responding.
Independents (you know, the demographic that is largely unattracted to either party and believes Democrats are gravitating towards them because they dislike Trump’s behavior) are solidly supporting the Republican candidate.
Among independents, Trump holds a wide 20-point lead over Harris with 53% support, but his running mate lags behind with 33%. Another candidate has 9% support, and 4% among undecideds.

“We have polled Harris more than any other pollster, so this is not a surprise to us, and it’s consistent with previous Biden vs. Trump polls,” they report. “She did not outperform Biden.”
Junedev made the blunt comment when discussing whether Kamala’s rise in approval ratings has translated into increased approval ratings for Trump.
“There’s no chance of that happening,” he said.
