Jill Stein hurts Donald Trump more than Kamala Harris, poll suggests

2 years ago by geneva_convenience to c/usa

A recent poll shows Jill Stein's appearance on the ballot might be hurting Republicans more than Democrats, a reversal from 2016.

A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris' lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein's candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.

I'm struggling really hard to see which voter is on the fence between Trump and Stein. Wouldn't it be more likely to be on the fence between Stein and Harris, or Stein and the couch?

People who don't like Trump but are too anti Democrat to vote Harris

One could still be pro Democrat or pro democracy, and still do not like Harris. Many things can be true at the same time.

They vote anti establishment in general, which is the green party.

I just personally hate anyone who tries to argue somebody doesn't have a right to ruin for presidency, they might not win but that's not the point. If you're a democracy, any citizen who meets the criteria has he right to run for an elected position.
