Kamala Harris vs. Trump: What do the polls say?
The 2024 presidential race has taken a dramatic turn with President Biden stepping down and Vice President Kamala Harris stepping up as the new Democratic frontrunner, facing off against former President Donald Trump who has returned to the campaign trail after surviving an assassination attempt.
With less than 100 days until the election, polls show a close race between Harris and Trump. Harris is polling slightly better than Biden did, while Trump’s numbers have remained steady, resulting in a tighter competition.
One major shift is seen in swing states, where Harris is gaining ground on Trump. Key battlegrounds that were previously leaning towards Trump are now showing a more even race. In Michigan and Pennsylvania, Harris and Trump are tied, while Harris leads in Minnesota and trails by only 1 point in Wisconsin.
Moreover, Harris’s favorability ratings have seen a significant boost since she became the de facto Democratic nominee. Her favorable ratings have surpassed Trump’s, especially among independent voters. This increase in favorability could play a crucial role in winning over undecided voters in swing states.
Notably, enthusiasm among Democratic voters for Harris is higher than it was for Biden earlier this year, indicating a potential increase in voter turnout and support for the Democratic ticket.
As the race heats up and the candidates vie for the presidency, it will be interesting to see how these trends evolve and ultimately impact the results of the election.
