That's a poll between a Harris and Trump in California after she'd already been selected as the nominee you disingenuous twat.
Here's one from Oct 1-12 2024 with the same number.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/652178/harris-approval-rating-higher-biden.aspx
What the fuck do you think you're trying to show here? That's another poll from even closer to the election about approval for an already selected candidate. Do you read the things you post?
That 94% of democrats thought Harris was the best candidate in 2024 just like my original comment stated.
That is interesting thanks for sharing. I feel like this is a push poll or that gallup there disingenuously explained what people were agreeing to.
Although to be fair some of the actual leftists I know, including the more radical ones, were not aware kamala was going to lose. I did.
41% of independents and 8% of republicans approved of her in the same poll.
I thought (and still do) Kamala was the best chance at the time and circumstance, but I could tell that it would be a heavy lift for her to succeed. Enough Indies and Republicans bought into the obvious lies from the GOP campaign and nearly every incumbent party was being voted out all over the world so I also saw it coming. Especially so, when my feed filled up with tons of hope-ium from progressive pundits and influencers. Outside of perhaps the late great Dolly Parton, I don’t think anyone would have beaten the GOP candidate in 2024.
Pfft. Quite wrong, kamala was the worst choice. Either Newsom (whom I hate and will now lose in 2028,) or pritzker could've won with a few popular positions and a little fight.
Kamala didn't win a single state campaigning in 2020, is hated on the left and right, is a lifelong piece of shit, never breached 30% approval the entire term to Biden's fine debating skills were displayed to the nation, and didn't offer a single sincere reform.
How can you guys trust the establishment on electability, after Hilary, Biden, and Kamala. This is why I am out of politics. You guys are sheep.
Neither of them would have won either, especially at that moment in time. If we were to have an election today or even last year, Newsom totally could have won, but that summer the GOP candidate was already ascendant in an environment that organically (gullible and cynical voters/media ) and artificially (money & EC) made it so he would win.
You don’t know me, so don’t do this “sheep” thing with me. There was only one week that summer I thought a Democrat could win that election. I hoped I was wrong, but I wasn’t. 2016 definitely taught most of us that electability was not a science. We’re all in politics, just some of us are unwilling participants.
I don't disagree with anything you said so I wouldn't call you a sheep.
It's all up in the air really in 2028, we have to see which piece of shit rises to the top of the GOP primary. Vance won't get it, Rubio won't get it. Kennedy could take it if it wasn't for his speech impediment but he's got a better shot than the formers.
It will be a total piece of shit, worse than the president, which is not hard if you consider that half as mean and twice as smart is worse than this blowhard because he's too dumb and greedy and capriciously vindictive and everything else to achieve his callous goals.
They should say they are "practicing" polling like they do medicine because it is not an exact sicence as you say. But one thing to consider, some of these polling to voting differentials these last ten years could be due to the right cheating. Everywhere they can. But to be sure, the polling itself is off as well.
