Harris Campaign Gets More Bad News In Critical Swing State

Changes to the ballots in key battleground states are expected following Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s withdrawal from the independent presidential race, which could spell trouble for Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to FiveThirtyEight, pre-dropout polls in Nevada showed Harris leading former President Donald Trump by less than one percent.

With Kennedy having previously drawn 4% of the vote in early August, Harris may face challenges in retaining the Sun Belt state in November. It’s important to note that pollsters have historically underestimated Trump’s support by several percentage points, as seen in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

KTNV Las Vegas reported Wednesday that state election officials have removed Kennedy from the November ballot, narrowing voters’ presidential choices. Kennedy, who endorsed Trump after exiting the race last Friday, had previously been on the ballot.

He had also clashed with Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar over allegations of not adhering to state laws in submitting nomination petitions and a lawsuit by two voters, including Aguilar, aimed to keep Kennedy off the ballot.

RFK Jr. is also doing his part to help shift his voters to Trump. “In about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” Kennedy told Fox News this week. “Our polling consistently showed by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.” He added that in states where election officials refuse to remove his name, he is telling supporters there to back the former president.

A recent poll following the Democratic National Convention (DNC) showed notable changes in voter sentiment as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The August Voter Omnibus Topline report by Echelon Insights reveals emerging trends that could impact the upcoming election and potentially lead to a change in national leadership.

The poll does not bode well for either candidate, particularly Harris.

One of the most notable findings is the widespread dissatisfaction with the country’s direction. Only 29% of respondents believe the U.S. is on the right track, while a substantial 64% feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Economic concerns continue to dominate voters’ priorities as the 2024 election approaches. The poll reveals that the cost of living is the top concern for voters, with 25% citing it as their primary issue. Immigration is a close second at 14%, followed by jobs and the economy at 12%.
