Harris Narrows Gap Against Trump, Times/Siena Poll Finds

In a survey taken after President Biden stepped aside, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in a tight race separated by a single percentage point among likely voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris begins a 103-day sprint for the presidency in a virtual tie with former President Donald J. Trump, according to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, as her fresh candidacy was quickly reuniting a Democratic Party that had been deeply fractured over President Biden.

Her swift reassembling of the Democratic coalition appeared to help narrow Mr. Trump’s significant advantage over Mr. Biden of only a few weeks ago. Ms. Harris was receiving 93 percent support from Democrats, the same share that Mr. Trump was getting from Republicans.

Overall, Mr. Trump leads Ms. Harris 48 percent to 47 percent among likely voters in a head-to-head match. That is a marked improvement for Democrats when compared to the Times/Siena poll in early July that showed Mr. Biden behind by six percentage points, in the aftermath of the poor debate performance that eventually drove him from the race.

Views of all three — Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris — split dramatically along gender lines. For the most part, men like Mr. Trump while women don’t. Women like Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, while men don’t.

Because the survey was of voters nationwide, the impact of Ms. Harris’s candidacy in particular battleground states was not immediately clear. But a Democratic candidate with greater appeal to younger and more diverse voters could put renewed focus on the Sun Belt states of Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, which had been threatening to slip off the swing-state map for Mr. Biden.

Interesting. I see an "excitement bump", the kind you get when something unexpected happens during a campaign. It gives one side or another a bump that slowly fades with the news cycle as another excitement bump builds. It is momentum they are looking for by saying these things. If they can get more than the folks willing to ignore that Harris spent the last 4 years covering the giant turd in a sandbox that is Biden because they are partisan excited then they might gain some momentum and that can make a difference. I do believe that the giant turd in the sandbox staying right at the top of the sandbox and reminding you it is there by every once in a while standing in the fan of media to push it's effluvia into your nostrils will eventually kill the momentum.
 
Harris is enjoying a short honeymoon phase. The Republican PACs will turn their focus from Dementia Joe to Cackling Harris soon. Trump will expose her socialist voting history. She is also in anti police. She is from San Francisco.

Hoping your opponent will tank is something less than optimism.

Trump’s vanished six point was considered a convention bounce. Harris’ convention bounce is ahead of her.

We were told by the receptionist that Heels Up was way ahead of Trump in the "polls".
