US Vice President Harris may have a better advantage than Biden in the general election
July 22, according to the New York Times, after President Biden ended his campaign and announced his support for Vice President Harris's campaign, the question turned to the feasibility of Harris's campaign and how she will compete with former President Trump. In recent polls, Harris's national support rate is two percentage points behind Trump on average, at 46% and 48%, respectively, which is an improvement over Biden's position in the campaign. Biden is three percentage points behind Trump on average, at 44% and 47%, respectively.
The recent swing state polls were conducted before Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and were completed before Trump was assassinated. In the key swing state of Pennsylvania, Harris was only one percentage point behind Trump, and in Virginia, she easily won by five percentage points, while Biden's lead in the state was very slim.
