The poll, which was conducted from July 7 to July 9, found that 73 percent of Democratic voters “somewhat” or “strongly” approve of Harris as Biden’s replacement. In an earlier iteration of the same survey, conducted from July 3 to July 6, a 66 percent majority of Democrats approved of Harris as a replacement.

    It more has to with polls. If the electorate is more or less set, then the numbers game turns into a get out the vote campaign. There is no reason to think that the candidate will have an affect on that, unless of course if you’ve already voted for them once

      If polling is static for all potential candidates, then what harm can come from changing them? Why fight so hard for a candidate that you know is going to lose, unless you want that candidate to lose? 🤨

        First of all - more or less static

        Second ‐ it stops being who do you want as President, and who you’ll drag your ass to the polls for.

        Current polls don’t answer that

          Then you should have no problem changing the candidate, right? Right?

            Unless there is a motivating factor of already voting for Biden which weakens GOTV…
