Tue Sep 10 16:49:50 UTC 2024: ## Former Clinton Pollster Declares He’s Undecided on Harris, Citing Position Changes and Antisemitism Concerns
**Washington, D.C. -** Former Clinton pollster Doug Schoen announced Tuesday that he remains undecided in the 2024 presidential election, citing concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris’ shifting stances on key issues and her perceived lack of commitment to fighting antisemitism.
Schoen, who famously declared he would not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016, expressed similar reservations about Harris. He specifically pointed to her apparent retreat from left-wing positions she held during the 2020 Democratic primaries, including on gun control, healthcare, immigration, and environmental issues.
“I cannot vote for her for reasons related to her change in position and also the Middle East,” Schoen said, referencing Harris’ stance on Israel. “I do not believe she is sufficiently committed to Israel and fighting antisemitism.”
Schoen’s concerns stem from Harris’ response to the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. He believes her handling of the situation, coupled with her past positions on issues like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, demonstrate insufficient support for Israel.
This latest criticism from Schoen comes at a time when Harris is facing a tight race against former President Donald Trump. Current polls show Harris holding a narrow lead, but Schoen’s comments highlight the potential for voter dissatisfaction with her handling of key issues.
The Daily Caller, which first reported Schoen’s comments, has been critical of the Democratic Party’s response to anti-Israel protests, which have seen some participants chant slogans deemed antisemitic. Schoen’s concerns echo the broader anxieties of some Jewish voters and those concerned with the rise of antisemitism.
It remains to be seen whether Schoen’s reservations about Harris will sway other voters or if she will be able to address his concerns before the election. However, his comments underscore the importance of foreign policy and issues related to Israel in the upcoming presidential race.
