Who will be the next president of the United States? The election is fast approaching. Donald Trump enjoys slightly better approval ratings than Vice President Kamala Harris in a new national poll from Siena College commissioned by the New York Times. Meanwhile, in polls of key Rust Belt states, Harris has a slight lead over Trump.
According to a new study by the “NYT”, the willingness to vote in Donald Trump 48% of respondents say they are likely to vote, and Kamala Harris – 47 percent This is the same result as a similar poll on July 24, shortly after the president withdrew from the election Joe Bidenalthough since then, in most polls, Harris has maintained a lead of several points in recent weeks.
As the newspaper points out, analyzing the results, about 28 percent of respondents say they still need to learn more about Harris (in the case of Trump, 9%), which indicates possible changes and highlights the importance of the next electoral debate between the candidates. The only one planned so far The televised fight will take place on September 10 in Philadelphia and is hosted by ABC television.
The results also suggest that Harris is seen as a more ideologically extreme candidate (47% see her as “too liberal,” while 34% see Trump as “too conservative”) and is much less likely to offer voters hope for change.
Another problem for the vice president is her small lead among Latino voters, although she has surpassed Biden among women and younger voters.
Another study published Sunday by YouGov for CBS programs, however extremely uniform candidate ratings in three key “rust belt” states, namely Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, Harris leads by 2 percentage points, in Michigan by one, and in Pennsylvania it is a tie. Winning all three would likely give Harris enough electoral votes to win the election.
Despite leading the national “NYT” survey, calculated by the same newspaper the average of all polls gives Harris still 2 percentage points higher ratings than Trump nationwide.
By the same average, the vice president leads or is tied with the former president in all seven key states, but her lead is within the margin of statistical error.
