Theories Abound Over Why Harris Is Floundering in Her Home State
News Analysis “Why is Kamala Harris not 50 points ahead in the polls?” you might ask. That’s at least one question Harris supporters and Democratic strategists have been pondering since the U.S. senator’s recent plunge in popularity. The latest polls do not bode well for the U.S. senator even in her home state. A Real Clear Politics poll conducted Oct. 3 shows Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren with 23 percent of the projected vote in the California Democratic primary race, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 22 percent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 21 percent and Harris at a distant eight percent. South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg is two points behind her.

OTTAWA—Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is barnstorming New Brunwick and Nova Scotia today, while his Conservative rival Andrew Scheer does the same in Quebec.
The difference is that Trudeau is spending his time in ridings the Liberal party is hoping to keep in the federal election on Oct. 21, and Scheer is hitting areas the Conservatives are hoping to pick up.
Trudeau’s Liberals won all the seats in Atlantic Canada in 2015, so any campaigning he does there is defensive.
He’s in Fredericton and Riverview, N.B., before moving on to Cumberland-Colchester, Masstown, New Glasgow, and Halifax, N.S., where he’ll end the day with a rally.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party has been on the rise in recent polls, is campaigning in Toronto, and the Green party’s Elizabeth May is talking about the Greens’ tax plans in Kamloops, B.C.
