Poll: Trump Trounces Biden or Harris in 2024
CLAY: There’s a Harvard-Harris poll out — I teased it earlier in the show, Buck — and the results are pretty staggering. Donald Trump, who, to my knowledge, Buck… You may remember, I love looking at polls. I understand people out there who say, “Oh, the poll data. You can’t trust it. It’s unreliable.” I understand, okay?
But I don’t remember ever seeing Donald Trump having a six-point lead over Joe Biden at any point from any poll that existed during the 2020 election. Donald Trump right now, according to the most recent Harvard-Harris poll that came out late last night, is up right now over Joe Biden 47 to 41%, okay? Significant. That’s a six-point lead over Biden for Trump.
Buck, he has an 11-point lead over Kamala Harris, 49 to 38. Now, if you believe, as many of our listeners do, that these numbers oftentimes are skewed in terms of being favored towards Democrats, this is unprecedented for him to have a lead — and I also think this is significant. If you look at the date, the data is reflecting right now that Republicans are opening up a huge lead overall in terms of the congressional race.
Same poll, Harvard-Harris poll, Generic congressional vote, Republicans have opened up a six-point lead. As Joe Biden has hit a 39% approval rate, by the way, in this Harvard-Harris poll. Republicans have opened up an unheard of six-point lead in this overall battle in the midterms. If that’s accurate — and again, requisite, “Hey, it’s a poll,” maintain that we don’t know exactly what’s gonna happen — it would represent a seismic change in our congressional membership the likes of which could exceed what happened in 1994 and 2010.
