Kamala Harris Gains Ground as Biden's Approval Dips

A recent CNN poll reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris has a better chance of retaining the White House in the upcoming US presidential elections than President Joe Biden. Biden's approval ratings have fallen sharply after a poor debate performance, with increasing demands for him to step down.

Vice President Kamala Harris, renowned for her Indian and African heritage, appears to have a stronger chance of securing the White House in the upcoming US presidential elections compared to President Joe Biden, according to a latest CNN poll.

The poll reflects a sharp decline in Biden's approval ratings, following his subpar debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week in Atlanta. This has triggered growing calls within the Democratic Party for the 81-year-old Biden to step aside, allowing another candidate to lead the race for the pivotal November 5 presidential elections.

The CNN poll, conducted by SRS, shows Trump leading Biden by six points. Intriguingly, Harris is within striking distance of Trump in a hypothetical matchup, securing 45% of voter support against Trump's 47%, a margin within the error limit that suggests no decisive leader in this scenario. The poll indicates Harris' advantage over Trump hinges on broader support from women and independents—50% of female voters back Harris compared to Biden's 44%, and 43% independents support Harris versus 34% for Biden.
