Subscriber-only Newsletter The Tilt Where Harris Has Gained and Lost Support Compared With Biden Gains among women are one example of her distinctive mark on the race.
ET When Kamala Harris became her party’s nominee, she inherited a Democratic coalition in shambles.
As she wraps up her party’s convention one month later, she’s well on her way toward stitching it back together.
It’s an enormous shift, but Vice President Harris didn’t improve equally among all demographic groups.
Instead, she made big gains among young, nonwhite and female voters, and made relatively few or no gains among older voters and white men.
1 on the list with a net swing of 49 points toward Ms. Harris.

Comparing Harris to Biden, what areas of support have Harris gained and lost?
One instance of her unique impact on the race is gains made by women.
Aug. 22 2024, at 5:03 a.m. M. ET.
A Democratic coalition in disarray was left behind when Kamala Harris was chosen as her party’s nominee.
One month later, she’s almost done piecing her party back together as she wraps up its convention.
She led Donald J. in the battleground polls conducted by the New York Times and Siena College this month. Compared to Mr. Trump’s five-point lead in May, he trails in each of the seven states most likely to decide the presidential election by two percentage points.
While this is a significant change, not every demographic group saw the same improvement from Vice President Harris. Rather, her gains were greatest among young, non-white, and female voters, and negligible or nonexistent among older and white male voters.
You could probably identify a demographic group on this list of Ms. Harris’s greatest gains that corresponds to each of President Biden’s challenges this cycle.
Young voters who are non-White and have low voter turnout are present, as are the communities in which they typically reside. The lowest-income voters were impacted by price increases. Even TikTok users are caught up in the negative emotions surrounding the Biden administration. Due to their small sample size (just 55 respondents in August), Muslim and Arab voters who are outraged about the Gaza War do not make the list; otherwise, they would have voted no. 1 on the list, with a 49-point net swing in favor of Ms. Harris.
