An Economist/YouGov study found that most Americans think Vice President Kamala Harris’s message isn’t sincere and that she only says what she thinks the public wants to hear instead of what she really believes.
A poll of 1,554 Americans from August 25th to 27th found that 53% think Harris is just telling people what they want to hear to make them happy. On the other hand, 35% of people say Harris really thinks what she puts out there. And 12 percent aren’t sure.
A sample of 1,368 registered voters in the poll showed the same trend. A slightly higher percentage of this group, 54%, thinks Harris is not being honest with her message and is only trying to make people happy. Three hundred ninety-nine percent think she is telling the truth when she talks, and seven percent aren’t sure.
In this area, Harris has a big problem with independents. Five and a half percent of independents say she really does think what she says, while the other 56 percent say the opposite. Twenty-two percent are not sure.
This study shows a big difference between how Americans feel about Harris and how they feel about former President Donald Trump. Only 51% of Americans say Trump thinks what he says. On the other hand, 39% say he says what he thinks people will want to hear.
53% of registered voters believe Trump is telling the truth, while 41% believe he is just trying to make people happy.
About 48% of independents believe Trump talks from his own point of view, while 36% believe he is just trying to please people. And 16 percent of independents are still not sure.
Breitbart News said that the study also showed that most people thought Trump was a good leader and Harris was a bad one.
The error range for the whole group and registered votes was ±3.2 percentage points.
