The presidential elections in the USA are gaining momentum, and polls already indicate that the competition between the main candidates – Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party and Donald Trump from the Republican Party – will be intense. According to the latest data from the CNN Poll of Polls, the gap between the candidates is minimal: 50% of voters support Harris, while 49% support Trump. This shows that the country is divided, and neither of the candidates is currently a clear favorite.
Support for candidates based on polls
The poll results released on October 16 demonstrate an interesting trend. Of the five surveys included in the average indicator, two favor Harris, while three indicate equal chances for both candidates. For instance, a poll conducted by Fox News shows that 50% of likely voters support Trump, while 48% lean towards Harris.
Key issues for voters
The key factors influencing Americans’ choice are various problems that concern the supporters of each candidate. Supporters of Kamala Harris focus on democracy and women’s rights, particularly on abortion. At the same time, many support Harris due to their dislike for Trump. Trump’s supporters, on the other hand, emphasize the importance of economic issues, immigration policy, and the personal characteristics of the candidates.
Taylor Swift’s Impact on Harris’s Campaign
An interesting part of Harris’s campaign is her endorsement by American pop star Taylor Swift. According to experts, this factor could influence results in swing states where every vote matters. In September, it was noted that Swift’s support could influence young voters and help Harris solidify her position in key regions.
Trump Gaining Support
Recent polls also show that Donald Trump is improving his chances of winning. According to The Hill, his ratings are rising while Harris is gradually losing her advantage. This could be a result of Trump’s active campaign focused on economic issues and a general critical assessment of the current administration’s performance.
Elections that Won’t Be Peaceful: Biden’s View
President Joe Biden, who opted not to participate in the elections, has expressed concerns about possible consequences of future voting. He stated that these elections may not go smoothly. He emphasized that the escalation of the political situation and strong societal divisions could lead to conflicts, both between political forces and within civil society. Biden called for restraint and constructive dialogue to avoid escalation of tension during the elections.
Outcomes
The 2024 U.S. presidential elections promise to be some of the most intense in the country’s history. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are engaged in a tight battle for voter sympathies, and the difference in poll results only adds to the intrigue. The issues of economy, democracy, and immigration are key for both candidates, and voters are already deciding who best meets their expectations. However, the threat of conflicts and potential violence, as indicated by Joe Biden, makes these elections particularly worrying for the entire nation.
