Harris And Trump Neck And Neck In Latest Polling

Trump shares poll showing voters associate potential second term with "revenge\

As the presidential race enters its final leg, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a tight race, according to a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. The poll shows Harris at 45% and Trump at 44%, indicating a close competition between the two candidates.

In a shift from previous polling, Harris has seen a decline in support among Latino and Black voters. The survey revealed that Latino voters now favor Trump by 49% to 38%, while Black voters still prefer Harris but with a narrower margin of 72% to 17%. This change in voter preferences highlights a potential challenge for the Democratic nominee.

President Biden's strong support among Black and Latino voters in the previous election is contrasted by Trump's current efforts to appeal to these demographics. Trump's focus on the economy and crime has resonated with some Black and Latino voters, leading to a more competitive race in the 2024 election.

As the campaign intensifies, Harris has unveiled an economic agenda targeting Black men, offering initiatives such as small business loans and the legalization of recreational marijuana. Additionally, efforts to engage Latino and Black voters in battleground states have been ramped up to secure crucial support.

While Trump is performing well in Arizona, Harris has shown strength in Georgia. The poll also highlighted a significant increase in undecided voters, with 21% of likely voters across seven states yet to commit to either candidate.

With the economy being a key issue for voters, the survey found a divided opinion on which candidate is better equipped to handle economic challenges. Only 38% of registered voters believe the national economy is doing well, underscoring concerns about the country's economic condition.
