With less than two weeks left for the presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both tied with 48 percent in the popular vote, according to the final national poll conducted by The New York Times, making the race look extremely tight. Is. Sienna College.
According to the New York Times, the survey results are not encouraging for Harris as it comes less than two weeks before the election and millions of people across the US have already voted.
Elections in the US are to be held on November 5, in which former US President Donald Trump is contesting for a second term and Vice President Kamala Harris aims to create history by becoming the first female President of America.
In recent elections, Democrats have gained the lead in the popular vote, while losing the Electoral College and thus the White House. According to the New York Times report, they are expecting Harris to build a strong national lead, which is a sign that she will do well in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Even after three of the most tumultuous months in America’s recent political history, Harris and Trump remain tied to each other.
Over the past few months, presidential candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties have engaged in high-profile debates, two assassination attempts have been made on Trump and the two leaders have held dozens of rallies in seven battleground states. Over the past few months, the crores spent on advertisements have done little to change the course of the race.
Kamala Harris’ standing among likely voters has declined since the last Times/Siena College poll in early October, the report said.
At that time, Kamala Harris had a slight lead over Donald Trump, 49 percent to 46 percent. The change is within the limits of error. However, the Times’ national polling average has seen a tightening of surveys over the past few weeks.
Although the latest Times/Siena College poll provided a glimpse of national sentiment, the presidential election will be decided in the seven states where Trump and Harris have spent much of their resources and time.
Most surveys in those states – Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan – indicate the contest is equally close.
