Kamala Harris verzeichnet den größten Popularitätssprung seit George W. Bush nach dem 11. September

Vice President Kamala Harris got some very welcome news on Sunday in the form of a new NBC News poll that found her leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. But perhaps the most significant finding in the survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from Sept. 13-17 is her massive increase in popularity since taking over for Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in July.

Compared to July, when Harris had a 32% approval and 50% disapproval rating (nearly identical to Biden), the new poll finds 48% of respondents view her positively and 45% negatively. The three point net positive approval stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s net negative 13 point result that has remained static over the same period.

As NBC News National Political Correspondent—and data geek—Steve Kornacki and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker explained on Sunday, that 16 point turnaround is the largest favorability increase for any politician NBC has measured since George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

People asked for more interviews, there you go.

Polls don’t vote, people do. The Democrats and democracy need us to turn up in Nov to end Trump’s stoppable march to America’s destruction. VOTE Harris/Walz 2024 please. Harris is competent and smart by not taking voters for granted. She needs our well earned support.

>And yet, the Harris team is not taking anything for granted. In response to the poll results, which still fall within the margin of error, top Harris campaign adviser Brian Fallon tweeted, Still an underdog in this race.

The polls have been moving steadily in her favor over time. There have been a few bumps and jigs and jags, but the overall trend, since she first entered the race, has been a gradual but undeniable shift in her favor.

Lots of things can still happen, but her campaign has been unusually skillful, and she has navigated every challenge effectively so far.

I’m reasonably optimistic she will do well in November. I wish I could say the same about the election process itself. But it’s best to approach that imminent chaos from a position of strength, and Harris seems to be accomplishing that.

RealClearPolls and 538 (poll aggregates) have her less than or equal to where Hillary was at this point in her campaign. That terrifies me.

This election is going to be so close on the electoral map.

Well, we are fighting a terrorist so that makes sense.

No surprise her favorables are rising as people see more of her. I think Harris is a warm and likable presence and her decision to focus on things like joy and moving forward past the chaos are no doubt starting to reasonate.

Honestly, I wish Kamala was leading by 20…but pragmatically speaking? I’m strangely okay that the polls are so tight.

I think this election will be decided on which candidate does better with turnout- and hopefully tight polls will prevent people from feeling like Harris has this in the bag and not bothering to vote. Complacency is the enemy of progress.

Makes sense. They were both responding to a terrorist attack by people who hate America.

Good. I hope she wins by a landslide and it’s a complete surprise for maga dipshits.

I want a Harris/Walz sign but need a camera on it first, chances of it gettinga vandalized or stolen in my small Iowa town is too great. I know other people feel the same, we don’t need to brandish flags and our candidate’s shit everywhere. We show our support at the ballot box.

Side note since he’s referenced in this article, but Brian Fallon who was press secretary to Clinton’s campaign being a senior advisor to Harris… Concerns me if I’m being honest. I recall him being a total douche in 2016 and missing the mark. Oh well, hoping for the best.

Interesting that the debate that fueled a lot of this bump was also on 9/11.

In both cases, these approval changes were a reflection of what the public saw as meeting the moment; being tossed unexpectedly into a surprising and unprecedented circumstance and doing what was seen as a good job. 

Obviously Bush made a lot of decisions at that time that are retroactively viewed as mistakes or outright lies, but people didn’t see that at the time. 

“Compared to July, when Harris had a 32% approval and 50% disapproval rating (nearly identical to Biden), the new poll finds 48% of respondents view her positively and 45% negatively. The three point net positive approval stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s net negative 13 point result that has remained static over the same period. ”

This further underscores how Harris still has room to grow, while Trump is probably already at his most favorable.

If anything will cause her to lose, it’ll be stuff like this.

Folks, none of this matters if you don’t actually go and vote.

Unfortunately this doesn’t mean votes. Her deficit with men in Pennsylvania could be her downfall. This needs to be addressed immediately. She changes this deficit and she’s president.

Makes sense. People looked to Bush after a disaster because he was in a leadership position. People are looking to Harris to prevent a disaster because she has leadership qualities.

Vote Democrat the entire ballot.
The last decade has shown their true colors.
Never vote for the GOP again.

Who cares? Stop posting polls, they literally don’t matter for either side. At most they matter for the campaign itself to decide tactics, that’s it. Not for voters/us

Kind of odd how the right wing pollers show no change. The more center and left wing pollers all show positive change for Kamala. The no change polls seem like they are trying to hide something.

Stop the count!

Yeah but will it translate into a win in the electoral college? God I hope so.

Many didn’t know Kamala could be this good.
