According to sources, President Biden's campaign is reportedly conducting internal polling to assess Vice President Kamala Harris' performance against former President Trump. The survey was commissioned by the Biden campaign's analytics team this week amidst a wave of defections from Democratic lawmakers and donors.
The sources, who requested anonymity, did not disclose the specific intentions behind the poll. This development marks a potential shift in strategy for the Biden campaign, which has faced rumors of discontent within the party.
Despite calls for him to drop out of the race from 67% of voters, Biden has reiterated his commitment to staying in the race. Top Democratic leaders have publicly supported Biden, but internal polling suggests a close race between Biden and Trump.
In a recent poll, Biden and Trump were found to be neck and neck, with Harris outperforming Biden in a hypothetical matchup against Trump. The poll showed Harris holding a slight lead of 49% to 46% over Trump.
These developments indicate a potential reevaluation of the Biden campaign's strategy as they navigate challenges within the party and seek to position themselves for the upcoming election.
