Full Report:

A staggering 92% of Americans believe Vice President Kamala Harris was aware of President Joe Biden's deteriorating health and helped cover it up, according to a recent survey.


The YouGov/Times of London poll, conducted July 22-23 among 1,170 registered voters, followed Biden's announcement to end his reelection campaign. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.


When asked about Harris's involvement in concealing Biden's health issues, 68% responded "a great deal," 17% said "somewhat," 7% "a little," 4% "not at all," and another 4% were "not sure."


Notably, 78% of Republicans, 73% of independents, and 82% of self-identified conservatives believe Harris was significantly involved in the cover-up. Even among Democrats, 22% suspected her complicity, joined by 31% of self-identified liberals and 57% of moderates.


In response to these revelations, a super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump released an ad accusing Harris of hiding Biden's mental decline. The ad states, "Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe's obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn't do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American dream dead."


The poll also reveals Trump leading Harris by 2 points overall, with Trump dominating on issues like the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and crime. Harris leads on topics such as abortion and the environment.


Carl Bialik, vice president of data science and U.S. politics editor at YouGov, offered a different perspective, suggesting Harris is performing as well as Biden did initially. He noted, "Biden withdrawing and Harris stepping up as the presumptive candidate all runs up against any effects we might have seen from continued fallout from the TV debate, the assassination attempt, the convention, and the selection of J.D. Vance. Certainly, the convention and running-mate nomination can be positive events that give a candidate a bump, so we may be seeing the canceling-out of those effects by the change from Biden to Harris."


Despite Harris's emergence, the poll indicates a decline in the public's readiness to elect a female president. Currently, 54% of voters believe the U.S. is ready for a woman president, down from 63% in 2015, just after Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy.


Bialik added, "If you look at the question of whether people are ready for a woman president now versus 2015, you might hope for nine years of progress. Instead, you see a significant drop in whether Americans think the country is ready. There's this widespread belief that women would have no chance with a big chunk of the electorate."


Interestingly, only 35% of Democrats polled believe Harris should choose a male running mate, while 6% think she should select a female.


Bialik concluded, "There's a belief that it's a real disadvantage to be a woman running for high office."
