Kamala Harris is the talk of the media right now. The Democrats are supporting her. The media is rewriting her history right before your eyes. She is adored. Her dominance is destiny. So a rise in the polls is almost inevitable.
But then came the next one. Rasmussen Report Poll It was an incident that gave the Vice President and her campaign a huge cold shoulder.
A recent poll conducted this week found Harris trailing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by 7 percentage points.
The polling firm reported that “in a two-way matchup, 50 percent of likely American voters would vote for Trump, while 43 percent would vote for Harris.”
Additionally, “4% said they would vote for another candidate and 3% were undecided.”

Kamala Bump … Hit the Bump
What’s even more worrisome for those who were hoping for a positive outcome with Kamala Harris avoiding the entire primary process and being elected as the Democratic nominee is that the people they most need to woo are not responding.
Independent voters, who are dissatisfied with either party and who believe Democrats will woo them because they dislike Trump’s record, are solidly supporting the Republican nomination.
In data from independent voters, Trump has a 20-point lead over Harris, with 53%, while the vice president is behind at 33%. The other candidates are at 9%, and among undecided voters, at 4%.
Kamala is a deeply unpopular figure to the average voter, who sees the far-left San Francisco liberal as an American oddity. Kamala, on the other hand, is seen as someone who represents the needs of her and her family.

What are the characteristics of this poll?
So what makes the Rasmussen poll different? What sets it apart from the polls that the media reports show Kamala slightly up?
Brian Joondeph I use it at workThey start by using “likely voters” instead of “registered voters” in their polls.
“Many registered voters rarely or never vote,” he wrote. “Based on past voting history, voters are likely to be much more enthusiastic about voting.”
In his post on X, Rasmussen argued that there is more polling data on Kamala Harris than on most other groups.
Standalone only –
Trump: 53% (+20)
Harris: 33%
Others: 9%
I don’t know: 5%We’ve done more Harris polls than almost any other polling agency, so this isn’t surprising to us. And it’s consistent with our last Biden v Trump poll, where she didn’t do any better than Biden. https://t.co/QypzA6cQIu

“We’ve polled Harris more than almost any other polling firm, so this isn’t a surprise to us. And it’s consistent with our last Biden vs. Trump poll,” they report. “She did no better than Biden.”
Jundep was blunt in his comments when discussing whether Kamala’s rise has led to her higher polling numbers than Trump.
“That’s unlikely,” he said.
