In the upcoming election, there is a possibility that the polls are underestimating the support for Kamala Harris. Since Joe Biden exited the race, Harris has garnered significant enthusiasm among voters, particularly women, younger individuals, and those supportive of abortion rights. Polls may still be reflecting the anticipated electorate for a Biden-Trump rematch and might not be capturing the wave of enthusiasm for Harris.
Recent polls show Harris leading Donald Trump nationally and in specific states, indicating a growing support base for her candidacy. Additionally, there is a growing number of Republicans publicly supporting Harris, which pollsters may be overlooking.
In other political news, supporters of an amendment to ban partisan gerrymandering in Ohio are outspending their opponents, with wide support for the measure being shown in new polling data. In South Dakota, opponents of an amendment to restore abortion rights have been outspending supporters, but new contributions from a group founded by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker are helping close the gap.
In Mississippi, there is a push to replace moderate Justice Jim Kitchens with a more conservative candidate in the state’s Supreme Court elections. This race could potentially head into a runoff, with significant financial backing behind the conservative candidate. Overall, these developments point to a potentially interesting and competitive election season.
