Donald Trump has visibly been in meltdown mode since Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. And according to new polling results, that meltdown appears to be pretty warranted.
A Quinnipiac poll conducted between August 8–12 and released on Wednesday shows Harris:
- Beating Trump in Pennsylvania, 48% to 45%
- Beating Trump among women, 54% to 41%
- Beating Trump among independents, 46% to 42%
- Beating Trump on caring about average Americans, 50% to 46%
- Beating Trump on having the “personality and temperament it takes to serve effectively as president,” 52% to 46%
- Beating Trump on honesty, 46% to 37%
And the bad news, for Trump, doesn’t stop there. A Monmouth University poll also released on Wednesday shows that among “double haters,” i.e., voters who dislike both candidates, Harris receives 53% versus 11% for Trump; when the same question was asked in June, just 28% of respondents backed Biden, while 19% went for Trump. (The most recent Monmouth poll also finds that Harris has the support of 53% of voters between the ages of 18 and 35, versus Biden’s 33% in June, while essentially maintaining the support Biden had from voters 65 and older.)
Rounding out the bad news for the former guy?

Incidentally, Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, isn’t faring great in the polls either. According to the Quinnipiac poll, just 43% of those supporting Trump say Vance has made them more enthusiastic about the ex-president’s candidacy, while 59% of those supporting Harris say the choice of Tim Walz as her running mate has made them more enthusiastic about hers. Though, really, can you blame them?
