Hour of our supersize show on this labor day eve as we head into the holiday weekend on this last week of summer. The polls have continued to look promising across the board for vice president kamala harris. A fox news poll of key sun belt swing states that harris leading donald trump by one point in arizona, two points in georgia and nevada. She is behind i one in north carolina, within margin of error. A much better standing than joe biden s position two months ago. The jawdropping thing is the enormous gap we are seeing between the top of the ticket and the down ballot statewide races. This was true when president joe biden was the democratic nominee and a lot of people pointed to it as a reason not right enjoyed, right? but, it has remained the case even as kamala harris has improved the democrats position in the presidential race.

Are generally telling the same story right now, they re telling a story that vice president kamala harris is doing significantly better against donald trump than president biden had been doing in his campaign. That is comparatively good news for the democrats. They are, apparently, better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch from biden to harris. That said, in absolute terms, the polls, national polls, and the swing state polls, broadly speaking, don t really give either party a reason to celebrate right now.
