Only 39 percent of registered independents say Vice President Kamala Harris is “qualified” to be president, an Economist/YouGov poll recently found.

The finding suggests the Democrat party’s selection of Harris as the party’s de facto nominee is one that appeals to independents.

The poll asked respondents, “Do you think Kamala Harris is qualified to be president?”

  • Yes: 39 percent of independents
  • No: 37 percent of independents
  • Don’t know: 24 percent of independents

Perhaps most surprisingly, only 84 percent of registered Democrats said Harris was qualified, while nine percent said she was not qualified. Seven percent were not sure.

Among all respondents, Americans were split on the question at 47 percent. Fourteen percent were not sure.

The poll sampled 1,435 Americans from July 21 – 23, 2024, with a 3.1-point margin of error.

The survey comes as former President Donald Trump holds a three-point lead over Harris among registered voters, CNN polling found Wednesday after President Joe Biden stepped aside.

The poll is one of the first published surveys after Biden endorsed Harris for president.

On this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said those attempting to label him as “weird” were engaging in projection, given their own “weird” views. “What do you say about this new strategy to call you weird from the Democrats?” Bartiromo asked. “I think that it’s

So what are they actually ‘protesting’ about? Thugs admit they don’t know why they’re rioting as they target community centres and local charities – while women take the opportunity to loot Crocs and steal Lush soaps

Far-right thugs who have taken to the streets of Britain have admitted they don't even know why they are carrying out the violent riots.   Community centres, charities and local businesses were targeted last week in shameful scenes that have blighted towns and cities on UK streets in the wake of last week's Southport stabbing attack.
