A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris’ lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein’s candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.

      This is a sentence with words, but the arrangement makes no sense. You sure you didn’t generate that from ChatGPT?

        I think it’s funny that someone with “Locke” in their name would seemingly not distinguish between liberals and leftists.

          You realise that you’re not using the word liberal as Locke would either right?

        ? Do you disagree? Isn’t blaming leftists what blue maga is currently priming their voters for if/when they lose?
