The Harvard Harris poll conducted online between May 17-18 among 2,004 registered voters has some fascinating takeaways that don’t look good for Joe Biden and the Democratic narrative pushed by the liberal media.
Most believe that the Trump-Russia collusion and the Steele Dossier are fake stories.
To start:
Majorities of Americans say it’s *false* that Trump colluded with Russia. The Steele Dossier is also “false.”
In other words, they view the story the US media aggressively centered for 3 years as a hoax and a fraud, yet NBC and CNN won’t even air this view. pic.twitter.com/wqULHK4Rd9

Most also believe the Hunter Biden laptop is real and not Russian disinformation.
Americans also believe that the materials on the Hunter Biden laptop are real, and are not and never were “Russian disinformation.”
So again, Americans view the claim that the US corporate media and CIA spread for weeks before the 2020 election – to help Biden win – as a fraud. pic.twitter.com/aPYmU4jqyz

Most also believe that Joe Biden participated in the influence peddling.
Majorties of Americans also believe:
* Hunter Biden engaged in criminal influence peddling using his father’s name.
* The FBI is not investigating these crimes.
* Joe Biden participated in Hunter’s illegal influence peddling and profiteering schemes. pic.twitter.com/HJP4sSfogw

Voters are also very concerned about what the FBI did regarding Trump, are concerned about the interference in elections from FBI and intel agencies, and think sweeping reform is needed.
*Large majorities* of Americans say they are not surprised to learn the FBI abused it power in the 2016 Trum/Russia probe to help Biden.
*Large majorities* also say they are deeply worried about the US Security State’s manipulation of US politics, and sweeping reform is needed. pic.twitter.com/io4ifiq4aV

The poll also shows that Biden is in deep trouble because large majorities of people think he’s not mentally fit and he’s too old. The poll also has Donald Trump beating him by 7 points and Kamala Harris by 11. Those are pretty big numbers, but people can remember that they had it much better under Trump than under Biden/Harris, and they can see what a mess Biden is now.
Large majorities of Americans have serious doubts about Biden’s mental fitness to be President, and believe he is too old.
Unsurprisingly, then, Trump leads Biden by 7 points for 2024, and Kamala Harris by 11 points.

How bad are things for Biden? Only 40 percent of Democrats say they would vote for him in the primary and only half think he’s going to win the primary. That should be a huge yikes if that’s even anywhere close to the truth. Strangely the poll doesn’t include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is polling at around 20 percent, on the list of choices in a primary versus Biden.
Only 40% of Dem voters say they intend to vote for Biden *in the Dem primary.”

For whatever reason, the poll excluded the challenger near 20%: RFK, Jr.
But even many Dems say Biden lacks mental fitness and they don’t want to vote for him. pic.twitter.com/dynoAw045M

Even on the debt ceiling discussions it doesn’t look good for Biden. Most voters think that Democrats should negotiate and yield to the GOP to avoid default. They also think GOP should hold out for spending constraints and that they would improve the health of the U.S. government.

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Ron DeSantis are the most favorable political figures, in that order, all of whom are polling better than Biden. Even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is doing better than Biden.
The 3 political figures who are viewed most favorably by Americans are Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis (Berne is next).
Musk has by far the highest favorability gap (+14). AOC’s is -13, Mitch McConnell -24.
Tim Scott and Vivek are +7. pic.twitter.com/NpKB6l4ZKB

In the GOP primary, the poll showed Trump widening his lead on Ron DeSantis and the rest of the field. He’s at 58 percent, with DeSantis at 16 percent, and the rest still further back.
— Dr. Nickarama (@nickaramaOG) May 21, 2023
In a head-to-head, Trump is up 65 percent to DeSantis 35 percent.

DeSantis’ numbers against Biden or Harris are only even, according to the poll.
— Dr. Nickarama (@nickaramaOG) May 21, 2023
Now DeSantis hasn’t announced yet and those numbers may go up once he does, but so far they haven’t.
I’ll add my obligatory “it’s a poll” and “we’re still far out” admonition. But the Biden team has to be choking when they look at numbers like that and see that the media truly has failed in their task as scriptwriters for the Democratic narrative. Americans are just not buying it.
