HOW MANY REPUBLICANS SUPPORT HARRIS AND HOW MANY DEMOCRATS SUPPORT TRUMP? There’s an odd number in the new New York Times-Siena College national poll of the presidential race. The survey found Vice President Kamala Harris with a 3-point lead, 49% to 46%, over former President Donald Trump among likely voters nationwide. The strange number concerned how many Republicans support Harris.

When asked for whom they would vote if the election were held today, 96% of Democratic likely voters said they would vote for Harris, while 3% said they would vote for Trump. That seems about right. Democrats are obviously enthusiastic about the Harris candidacy in a way they were not about President Joe Biden before a secretive group of party power brokers forced him out of the race.
