Poll: Kamala Harris gaining among Democratic voters

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Kamala Harris made headlines in her first visit to Iowa as a presidential candidate with her firm support for a “Medicare for all” health care plan. A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll suggests the California senator’s stance is connecting with Democratic voters.

A majority of Democrats, 57 percent, said they would be more likely to support a candidate who backs Medicare for all, in which all Americans get their health insurance from the government, the poll shows. Only 22 percent would be less likely to support a candidate who would prefer Medicare for all, over preserving and improving the existing system under the Affordable Care Act.



The poll, conducted Jan. 25-27, also shows Harris gaining steam amid the rollout of her campaign, which began on Jan. 21, when she announced on “Good Morning America” that she would run for president. She’s now the third choice of Democratic voters, who were asked to pick their favorite person for the party’s nomination next year.

Over the course of four surveys this month, former Vice President Joe Biden has ranged between 26 percent and 33 percent among Democratic voters, roughly twice the support of the next candidate: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has been between 15 percent and 16 percent.

Harris is at 10 percent, up from 3 percent earlier this month. That puts her ahead of the next two candidates: former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), both of whom are at 6 percent in the poll. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is in sixth place, at 3 percent — while no other candidate earns more than 2 percent.

There's still time for you to get on the Harris train but it's filling up fast.

1. I watched the CNN Town hall with her on a Youtube and

was pretty impressed. She is definitely on my list for consideration.

[oberliner]

2. She is outstanding

I feel like her train will be picking up passengers very quickly.

The kickoff to her campaign has been great!

3. Her support for asset forfeiture and calling

For Sen. Franken to resign show she lacks the judgement to be President.

5. She has extraordinarily good judgement

And since Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand , and Cory Booker also called for his resignation it is more likely than not a Democratic candidate who called for his resignation will be the Democratic nominee.


I guess that leaves Donald Trump and Howard Schultz.

9. Instead of showing up with that line in every Harris thread, why not pick a candidate you like

and promote them instead?

[kelly1mm]

11. So far I like John Delaney but am open

To others so long as they did not call for Sen. Franken to resign.

And the more the far left attacks her. The more I like her.
