New Study Shows Kamala Harris Falling Behind With Moderates — Slightly

A new analysis from a center-left think tank shows Harris just a hair behind the support Joe Biden had with moderates in 2020.

As Kamala Harris tries to stitch together an electorate to beat Donald Trump, there’s one key voter bloc where she’s lagging behind Joe Biden’s 2020 numbers: moderates.

A new study from center-left think tank Third Way, exclusively provided to NOTUS, shows that Harris’ support among self-identified moderates has room to grow, particularly if she wants to match Biden’s 2020 performance in battleground states.

Alarmingly for the Harris campaign, the gaps are widest in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, where her support among moderates is projected to be 4 percentage points or more behind Biden.
