The Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris has had an enlivening effect on the party’s voter base. Weariness with Joe Biden has turned into at least a glimmer of hope with Kamala.
Unsurprisingly, considering her wholesale acceptance of internet culture and the fact that she has rappers such as Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion performing at her rallies, Harris is polling well with younger voters. Compared to Biden’s chances against Donald Trump, Harris is up 29 points with voters aged 18-29 and up 33 points with Hispanic voters.

Surprisingly, though, the polling shows she is down 5 points with black voters. More concerning for her electoral chances is that for voters over 65, Harris is down 9 points on Biden. Looks like being “brat” only gets you so far…
