CNN: Kamala Harris performs poorly with these voters

CNN: Kamala Harris performs poorly with these voters

CNN political director David Chalian said Democratic candidate Kamala Harris' poor poll numbers among white voters without college degrees were a “warning sign” for the vice president ahead of the 2024 election.

Former President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump has a “massive” double-digit lead over Harris in this demographic in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Chalian noted on Wednesday's CNN News Central broadcast, citing new polls conducted by the network through SSRS.

In Georgia, Trump is polling at 71% versus 27% for Harris.

In Arizona, Trump is at 65% compared to 31% for Harris.

And in Nevada, Trump's approval rating is 64%, while Harris's is 31%.

“White voters without a college degree are obviously Trump's core constituency. You can see how large his constituency is in this group. You can see that this is a warning sign for Harris,” Chalian said.

However, the overall poll showed that approval ratings are split between Harris and Trump in the crucial swing states.

According to CNN's poll report, “an average of 15 percent of likely voters” are undecided, suggesting that “a significant share of voters could change their minds about the race as attention on the campaign increases and campaign activity, particularly in these states, peaks in the final nine weeks before Election Day.”

The fight in the swing states is “tough,” Chalian later said on CNN.
