WHY ISN’T HARRIS WINNING BY A LOT? It’s been more than a week since the Harris-Trump presidential debate, and Thursday saw a spate of post-debate polls on the state of the race. The short version is, nationally and in the key swing states, it’s pretty much tied.
And that leads to the question: Why isn’t Vice President Kamala Harris leading? The entire Democratic Party, plus its allies in the larger political world and in the legal system, plus the entertainment industry, plus much of the media — haven’t they thrown everything they have at former President Donald Trump? With all that firepower, how is Trump still standing, let alone tied with Harris? More pointedly, why isn’t Harris winning by a big margin?
The last three polls in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls have Trump and Harris tied (New York Times), Harris up by 2 points (Fox News), and Trump up by 2 (Rasmussen). The seven key states look like this, from the RealClearPolitics average: North Carolina, Trump +0.1; Nevada, Harris +0.2; Pennsylvania, Harris +1.0; Wisconsin, Harris +1.2; Arizona, Trump +1.6; and Michigan, Harris +1.7.
