Former President Donald Trump has managed to secure a slight edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in the ongoing polling for the 2024 election. Trump’s lead sits at 48% to 46% among likely voters, marking three consecutive weeks where he has maintained this slender advantage, according to Rasmussen Reports. Perhaps Harris should be taking notes from Trump’s playbook instead of trying out her stand-up routine.
Despite the fanfare surrounding recent interviews and her significant financial lead, Harris has failed to gain any real traction in the polls. It appears that no amount of spending or media gimmicks can propel her past Trump in the eyes of American voters. Even the slick PR moves and strategic appearances that Harris and her team might have anticipated would win over the public seem to be falling flat. This should come as no surprise, given that the liberal media often spins the narrative in her favor but the data tells a different story.

The poll results are particularly interesting as Trump’s current numbers are higher than they were during his past campaigns in 2016 and 2020. The notion propagated by the left that Harris is hitched to a wave of momentum and goodwill is clearly more of a fantasy than a reality. When examining the figures, it’s evident that voters are either nostalgic for Trump or simply less than impressed with the alternative—a sentiment that may resonate more than the Democrats would like to admit.
Rasmussen’s polling also highlighted shifts within demographic sectors. While Trump still reigns supreme among male voters, leading by seven points, Harris has garnered a slim three-point lead among women. It’s a bit amusing to see the gender gap narrowing, suggesting that Trump’s appeal may not be as limited as the Democrats would hope. Just a week prior, Trump had an even more commanding lead among men, and Harris had more ground to cover with women voters. It’s a rollercoaster ride that even the most enthusiastic Harris supporters wouldn’t have anticipated.
Looking ahead, the political landscape remains murky. Neither candidate seems poised for a breakthrough moment that might escalate them into a more significant lead. As it stands, this race appears more locked up than a pearl necklace on a catwalk—hanging in a delicate balance with no clear way forward. For the foreseeable future, the spotlight remains on Trump, as his slight edge continues to draw intrigue and speculation amid Harris’s persistent struggles.
