From Breitbart: Former President Donald Trump began the new general election race with a majority of national support and a double-digit lead against Democrat frontrunner Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a poll.
A Harris X/Forbes poll found Trump leading Harris 52 percent to 42 percent among 2,169 likely voters nationally. The survey, taken July 19-21, 2024, was conducted after journalist Mark Halperin’s accurate July 18 report that President Joe Biden would stand down as the presumptive nominee on Sunday amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign from his own party.
Another six percent of likely voters were undecided between Trump and Harris. When pressed to pick a candidate they leaned toward, 35 percent selected Trump, and 65 percent broke for Harris. With leaners included in the full sample of likely voters, Trump leads at 54 percent to Harris’s 46 percent among likely voters. Harris and Trump’s numbers are identical to those in the now-hypothetical Biden versus Trump race among likely voters, with leaners included.
The poll also shows the following results:
- Independents: Trump 48% / Harris 33%
- Hispanics: Trump 45% / Harris 45%
- Suburban voters: Trump 51% / Harris 40%
- Black voters: Trump 25% / Harris 65%
Voter enthusiasm:
- Trump: Supported by 92% of Republicans
- Harris: Supported by 83% of Democrats
