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.
How many people know much about Whitmer or Newsom? I’ve had people on political subreddits tell me that Newsom is too liberal, when he’s always run as a pro-business, conservative Democrat.
Polling is useless until they’re on a big stage and people know them. Biden is well known and has been trending down since April. Have Newsom as the nominee and come out swinging at Trump, now the he’s too old argument plays well. I just don’t know who is voting for Biden but not Newsom.
Higher income Democrats. People who dislike Biden’s student loan forgiveness probably won’t like Newsom’s stance on reparations.
I don’t like his stance on reparations either, but I’d still vote for him.
Oh, same here. I’m just honestly not sure who could secure a win in a four month window with the broad demographics of Democrats.
