Kamala Harris overtakes Donald Trump in 2024 election poll

Low-income voters currently support Harris 58% to 35%. She has stressed her commitment to creating an “economy of opportunity” that makes housing more affordable and cracks down on food price gouging, though she has not yet released detailed policy plans.

“I am very happy to vote for a woman”

Voters of all stripes say the election was a game-changer. Harris is the first woman of color and the first person of South Asian descent to be nominated as a major party's presidential candidate. At 59, she is a generation younger than Trump, the former president, who is 78, and Biden, who is 81.

“I think people are cautiously optimistic that they're going to have a much better chance with Harris than if Biden had run against Trump,” said Amy Hendrix, 46, of Fort Worth. She is an independent who usually votes Democratic and was one of those who participated in the poll. “I'm very happy to be voting for a woman, and that's just the truth.”

But Jason Streem, also 46, a dentist from suburban Cleveland who supports Trump, objected to the way Harris became the candidate.
