New Poll Suggests Kamala Totally Committed Political Suicide

In the early days of Kamala Harris’s campaign, her public appearances were meticulously scripted and tightly controlled. When she finally stepped into more open interviews, she failed to seize the moment to do what was crucial. Polls have shown that voters want a different direction for the country, and despite her claiming to be the "change" candidate, she's avoiding creating distance between herself and the unpopular Biden-Harris administration.
It may cost her dearly.
According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, three-quarters of Americans "want her to take a new direction from President Joe Biden's, most don't think she would."
The poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates with fieldwork by Ipsos, finds that the public by a broad 74%-22%, would prefer to see Harris go in a new direction as president rather than continue the policies of the Biden administration. Even most Democrats say so.
But that's not what most people expect: 65% instead think Harris mainly would continue Biden's policies, vs. 33% who say she'd chart a new course.
Desire for change reflects how the Biden administration continues to labor under deeply negative ratings of its economic performance. Forty-four percent of Americans say they're not as well off financially as they were when Biden took office, roughly where it's been since early 2023 and tying the most in polling since 1986. Few, 18%, say they're better off, though that's up from 13% in January.
