**Chaos** surrounds Kamala Harris as polling reveals alarming trends for the vice president’s campaign, particularly among key demographics.
Recent surveys show alarming declines in support for Harris among Latino and Black voters, which could spell trouble as she engages in a neck-and-neck race against former President Donald Trump.
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll highlights that while Harris held a slight lead with 48% of likely voters in August, she has since fallen to only 45% as Trump closes in with 44%.
This shift suggests a stark departure from the overwhelming support that Democrats historically enjoy among these pivotal voting blocs.
In particular, Latino support for Trump has surged to 49%, while Harris has managed only 38%.
Black voters, while still favoring Harris, have shown a noticeable decline in enthusiasm, with her support dwindling to 72%—a significant drop from the substantial backing Democrats traditionally receive.
The implications of this trend are profound, with the Democratic Party facing the possibility of losing its grip on crucial voter bases that propelled President Biden to victory in 2020.
As Harris attempts to revitalize her campaign, she has rolled out a new economic agenda targeting Black men, offering promises of small business loans and the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Still, even with these efforts, her appeal appears to be waning in battleground states, as evidenced by simultaneous polling indicating a very competitive race with Trump.
Moreover, the shifting dynamics among "deciders," the segment of the electorate that has not fully committed to either candidate, reflects a growing appetite for change, as 74% of respondents indicated they might consider either candidate.
In Georgia, new data reveals even more worrying trends for Harris. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, only 28% of men back her campaign, while a remarkable 59% stand firmly behind Trump.
With Harris’s approval rating among men plummeting to just 29%, it becomes clear that her campaign struggles to resonate with a critical voter demographic.
This gender gap underscores the challenges Harris faces as she tries to unify her party and elevate her candidacy in the eyes of disenchanted voters.
Despite a strong showing among women, her failure to connect with men creates a significant hurdle.
As the election nears, voter uncertainty remains a theme, and both candidates will need to navigate these turbulent waters carefully.
In this increasingly polarized environment, it remains to be seen whether Harris can rally her base effectively, or if Trump’s consistent messaging on issues like the economy and crime will continue to sway undecided voters in his favor.
