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.

    Jill Stein is providing spite voters an option to not vote for Donald Trump.

    Hillary took a lot of friendly fire in 2016 from the Bernie Bros who were not too happy.

        I don’t know the exact math you are referring. but I do know that Obama won and Hillary lost.

        Did Obama win over more right wing voters than Hillary left wing voters?
