Harris Surges Past Trump Among This Group

Recent polling data reveals a significant shift in voter preferences among lower-income groups, showing Democratic nominee Kamala Harris with a commanding lead over her GOP rival, Donald Trump. According to the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll, Harris enjoys a substantial 23-point advantage among voters earning less than $20,000 annually, securing 58% of their support compared to Trump’s 38%. This represents the largest shift among all demographic groups surveyed.

The poll, which included responses from 1,000 voters between August 25 and August 28, highlights a notable change since June. At that time, Trump led President Joe Biden by a margin of 39% to 36% among this economic bracket. The current poll shows Harris leading Trump overall by 48% to 43%, reflecting an 8-point increase for the Democrats compared to late June when Trump was ahead of Biden.

Harris’s advantage appears to be driven by increased support among Hispanic and Black voters. She also leads Trump among moderate-income voters earning less than $50,000, with a 47% to 44% edge. This rise in Harris’s support can be partly attributed to her elevated profile following the Democratic National Convention, which helped enhance her visibility and appeal.

David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Research Center, suggests that the Democratic National Convention played a crucial role in boosting Harris’s popularity. For older voters, who might be more influenced by television coverage, Harris’s image has been positively shaped by prominent figures like Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton. Additionally, Harris’s team has effectively utilized social media to connect with younger voters, contributing to her increased appeal.

Moreover, Harris has seen a notable surge in support among Black voters. Her backing from this group is now 17 percentage points higher than Biden’s was in June, with 64% supporting her compared to Biden’s 47% at that time.

As the election approaches, these trends indicate a shifting landscape, with lower-income and minority voters showing strong support for Harris, reflecting broader demographic dynamics that could influence the final outcome.
