"SNIP............
A new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs (AP-NORC) reveals that voters believe Vice President Kamala Harris has more brains and brawn than GOP nominee Donald Trump. According to the numbers, voters chose Harris 59 percent over Trumps 57 percent when it came to which candidate they felt was tough enough to be president. As for which candidate would change the country for the better, Harris beat Trump again 55 percent compared to 46 percent. Voters also said Harris was more likely to fight for them than Trump, scoring 54 percent and 43 percent respectively. The Associated Press reported that the poll was conducted prior to the second apparent assassination attempt on Trumps life at his golf course in Florida on Sunday. Fresh off of her dominate debate performance, Harris jumped to a six-point lead over Trump according to numbers from a Morning Consult poll.

(912 posts)Ever notice that he does his insulting from afar? Even with his lackeys he never appears to challenge them to their faces. At least not that I recall ever seeing.

(7,046 posts)59-41 would be 100. 59-37 would be a more likely polling outcome.

(19,375 posts)The poll asked: "is person X tough enough to be POTUS?" multiple times, and more people said "Yes" to Harris than TCF.
The poll did not actually ask who was tougher.

(12,667 posts)Is if it's 2 separate polls or questions, or people can select more than one answer. I guess there's more than one way to create a poll.

(7,046 posts)by a 66-34 margin. Women like her heels better. Younger women particularly prefer the color choice and notice that she always matches. Trump responded by denying the results saying, "I have the best high heels in history. Nobody has high heels like I do."
What else are we going to waste time polling? Hair styles?

(132,216 posts)I'd say that is the main reason for Trump's popularity.
RockRaven
(19,375 posts)Which is the norm, but still annoying every time.
Setting aside margins of error and all that shit, pretending the 59-57 results show a real difference, the question asked was "tough enough to be POTUS" not "tougher than the other one." So the poll results don't say anything about who is tougher, it says something about more people thinking tough enough. Those things are not the same.

(1,117 posts)How are these numbers right??
If Harris is 59% Trump should be at max 41%, right?
RockRaven
(19,375 posts)They didn't ask who was toughER.
They asked "Is Harris tough enpugh?" and also separately asked "Is TCF tough enough?" and those numbers were the yeses.
Some dumbass headline writer decided to misrepresent the poll, or is massively logically impaired.

Uncle Joe
(65,136 posts)*rump knows that his whole life's identity would come crashing down if he tried to even letting a sliver of the truth come thru at this stage of the game.
So he lives in a constant state of fear masqueraded by bluster and punching down at those weaker than him.
He's a classic cowardly bully with no emotional courage.
Thanks for the thread applegrove.

(26,257 posts)he was whining about getting only 24% of the vote (should be zero IMHO), and whining about just everything else, and I thought to myself, God, I am so sick and tired of his whining. There's no way in heaven or hell I would ever, ever desire to have this POS on any stage in the future. Such a loser, such a whining POS, such a complainer on just about on everything.

(1,379 posts)He's the guy who starts fights that other people finish for him. All talk; no action.
Look at the people he bullies.
He only punches down against people who are defenseless or disadvantaged.
Now, look at the people whose asses he kisses.
He demurs to the real tough guys, murderers, despots, etc. like a schoolgirl with a crush.
The biggest, whining, cry-baby I have ever seen....
