According to a PBS News/NPR/Marist poll released Tuesday morning, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a dead heat in the race for the White House — but the poll also has significant warning signs for Harris.
She’s losing support among independent voters and Latino voters.
Republican pollster Whit Ayers called Harris’ dipping support with independents a “warning sign” for the vice president’s campaign; “She had the honeymoon period,” Ayers said.
“Those are two important groups that are likely to be the ones who the campaigns are going to be targeting very heavily throughout the campaign,” said Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter. “That’s why this debate really matters, because [Harris] needs to get those independent and those Latino and other swing voters to be a more permanent part of her coalition.”
