Were it admitted to the United States, the UK would not be much of a swing state. An exclusive Ipsos poll for the Evening Standard finds that more than twice as many Britons want Kamala Harris rather than Donald Trump as the next US president — 50 per cent to 21 per cent.
In further evidence of how different our two nations’ politics are, even Tory voters prefer the Democrat by a wide margin. Yet Britons do not necessarily expect to get their way, with many more predicting the Republican will win. Indeed, polls suggest that while Harris has gained ground on Trump in the popular vote, she is still an underdog in the electoral college which determines presidential elections.
