Aside from Biden's increase, the only statistically meaningful change in the candidate standings is a 12-point decline in support for California Sen. Kamala Harris, who stood at 17% support in the June poll but now has the backing of 5% of potential Democratic voters. That's similar to the level of support she had in the spring before a surge following her initial debate performance.
Her path forward was gender and race, breaking away Biden's base of black voters, and fracturing his share of female voters.
Kamala has failed miserably in this regard.
Biden actually performs slightly better among non-white than white voters. As does Kamala. But 7% is not a whole lot better than 5%.
But it's still better than Cory Booker who's at 2% among white voters and 1% among non-white voters. It takes something special for a minority Democrat to poll worse among minorities than whites.
But Cory's got that thing.
Another surprise though is that Beto O'Rourke, whose campaign has crashed and burned among his base, is polling at 6% among non-white voters, (almost as well as Kamala Harris), but only at 3% overall. It seems as if his campaign to keep screaming about racism is working.
