More Americans Want Kamala Harris as President than Mike Pence Ahead of VP Debate: Poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris is favored over Vice President Mike Pence in a hypothetical race for president, according to a new poll.

The poll, released Wednesday by Florida's Saint Leo University Polling Institute, found that 48.3 percent of likely national voters would prefer Harris as president compared to 41.5 for Pence, with 10.1 percent undecided. Results were much closer among Florida voters, with Pence and Harris statistically tied at just under 47 percent each.

Pence and Harris were scheduled to debate in Salt Lake City, Utah on the same day the poll was released. The event was expected to include plexiglass barriers and additional distancing between the candidates following concerns sparked by the recent COVID-19 diagnosis of President Donald Trump and many of his associates, although Pence has tested negative.

Other recent polls have also found that voters may have a slight preference for Harris over Pence. A YouGov poll released Monday showed Harris with a 48 percent to 45 percent advantage over Pence among likely national voters asked about a head-to-head matchup.
