Donald Trump Destroys Kamala Harris in New Poll

Donald Trump would easily beat Vice President Kamala Harris in a presidential election, according to a new poll.

A DailyMail.com survey of 1,000 likely voters found that Trump would defeat Harris by 11 percentage points in a head-to-head race (49 percent to 38).

The poll took place amid ongoing speculation that Harris could replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's 2024's nominee following his poor performance in the CNN debate with Trump on June 27.

Biden and his team have dismissed suggestions that he could end his reelection bid—essentially the only way Harris could conceivably replace him as the 2024 nominee. Harris has also repeatedly stated she is backing Biden to recover from the debate performance and go on to beat Trump in November.

The DailyMail.com poll also highlights an ongoing issue for the Democratic Party in that Harris is considered less popular among voters than Biden. The poll suggests that Trump would beat the president by a margin of five points (47 percent to 42).

Those taking part in the survey were asked to sum up the vice president in one word. The most common response was "incompetent."

The survey says other Democrat figures seen as possible replacements for Biden—such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg—would also lose to Trump by double figures.

However, pollster James Johnson suggests that these names have a better chance of improving their image on a national scale than the vice president does.

"Kamala Harris has a high name ID, which means her brand is harder to change," said Johnson, who conducted the DailyMail.com survey. "Unlike other candidates who are a blank slate to voters and can more easily define themselves, Harris brings a lot of baggage."

The offices of Harris and Trump have been contacted for comment via email.

The poll also suggests that former first lady Michelle Obama would perform better than Harris against Trump in a hypothetical 2024 race, losing to the Republican by five points.

However, Obama has stated for years that she has no intentions of following her husband into politics, meaning there is next to no chance she will put herself in the running to replace Biden.

A video has recently emerged showing Trump attacking Harris as "pathetic" amid suggestions she could replace Biden as the Democrats' 2024 nominee.

The footage shows Trump on a golf course suggesting Biden will drop out of the race, adding "and that means we have Kamala."

"She's so bad. She's so pathetic," Trump said. "She's just so f****** bad."

In response, Sarafina Chitika, spokesperson for the Biden-Harris campaign told Newsweek: "No, Donald. What is bad is taking away women's rights, what is bad is losing an election and encouraging a violent mob to attack the Capitol.

"What is bad is assaulting women, what is bad is not paying your taxes, what is bad is rooting for our economy to fail, what is bad is telling people to inject bleach, what is bad is praising neo-Nazis, what is bad is separating families, what is bad is your jobs record—the worst in modern history, what is bad is committing 34 felonies."
