Over 90% Believe Harris Knew About, But Failed to Disclose, Biden's Health Issues: Poll

Amid widespread speculation, a new poll suggests widespread belief that Vice President Kamala Harris was aware of and possibly concealed President Joe Biden's health decline.

A majority from the YouGov/Times of London poll attribute substantial prior  knowledge and concealment of Biden's health issues to Harris, as the New York Post reports.

The poll, which surveyed 1,170 registered voters on July 22 and 23, comes just after Biden's surprising announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. This decision followed Biden's unsuccessful appearance at the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump, sparking concern among Democrats and donors about his capability to continue.

Detailed Insight from Major Opinion Poll

Biden's withdrawal was publicly confirmed via a letter posted on X, where he mentioned his decision was in the "best interest of my party and country". He vowed to serve out his term and planned an address to the nation, which he delivered several days later.

Simultaneously, recognizing the need for strong leadership, Biden endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination, expressing his unwavering support and confidence in her capabilities to lead the party.

Following Biden's endorsement, the YouGov/Times of London poll presented stark figures: about 92% of respondents believe Harris was well aware of Biden’s deteriorating health. A further breakdown shows 68% convinced she had ample knowledge but chose not to disclose it, 17% considered her somewhat involved, and 7% thought she knew a little.

Public Perception and Political Impact

This sentiment is not uniformly shared across the political spectrum. Only 22% of Democrat respondents perceive Harris as having been highly aware of the health issues, reflecting a partisan divide in the public opinion.

Fueling the controversy, Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC has not hesitated to capitalize on this situation, launching an ad campaign accusing Harris of covering up Biden’s mental decline. These allegations aim to intensify scrutiny on Harris, especially as she prepares to lead the Democratic ticket.

Trump also added his scathing review of Biden's term, labeling him in a CNN interview as the "worst president in the history of our country". This harsh criticism aligns with Trump's longstanding confrontational stance.

Examining The Controversy Around Transparency

The poll results reveal a divided perception regarding the alleged coverup: 54% of respondents believe there was indeed deliberate obfuscation, 30% believe there was no deception, and the remainder are unsure.

This data underlines a significant trust issue potentially shadowing Harris as she campaigns for the presidency, with a large segment of the public critical of her transparency.

As Harris navigates these turbulent political waters, the question of public trust and her handling of the situation will likely play a crucial role in her campaign's narrative and public dealings.

Presidential Endorsement Amid Controversy

Despite the controversies, Biden’s endorsement of Harris was a pivotal moment for the Democratic Party. "Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year," stated Biden, aiming to consolidate party support around Harris.

This move may also be interpreted as an attempt to unify the party by projecting continuity and stability, despite the brewing controversies surrounding the administration's transparency and health concerns.

Looking Forward: The Road to the 2024 Elections

As the 2024 elections approach, the Democrats face a critical juncture.

The support and skepticism expressed in the poll reflect broader national concerns about leadership and transparency that will need to be addressed by Harris and the party leadership.

How this controversy affects voter sentiment and the dynamics of the upcoming election remains a significant point of interest for political analysts and voters alike.

The answers may well shape not only the next election but also the future trajectory of American political life.

In conclusion, Vice President Kamala Harris faces significant challenges ahead as she takes the mantle from President Biden amidst a backdrop of public scrutiny and allegations of covering up significant health issues. This complex scenario sets the stage for an intensely scrutinized campaign, drawing attention from both national and international observers.
