Quote of the Day
“As has been widely noted, Harris has recovered a considerable proportion of Biden’s 2024 underperformance among key demographics. But it is also the case that she is still considerably below Biden’s 2020 performance among many of these demographics. Harris’s margin among black voters is 15 points below Biden’s in 2020; Harris’s margin among Hispanics lags Biden’s by 9 points; Harris’s margin among young (18-29 year old) voters is 20 points below Biden 2020; and Harris lags Biden’s 2020 margin among men by 6 points and, surprisingly, among women by 2 points.”
The WSJ article compares Harris's current margins vs. Biden’s in 2020.
