Tight Race: Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump in Upcoming Election
Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris maintains a narrow lead over Republican Donald Trump in the closely contested U.S. presidential race. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris at 45% and Trump at 42%. Voter enthusiasm, particularly among Democrats, is higher compared to the 2020 election. Economic issues remain a key focus.
In a fiercely contested battle for the U.S. presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slim lead over former President Donald Trump, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. Harris leads Trump 45% to 42% among likely voters, indicating a tight race just weeks away from the November election.
The poll suggests increasing enthusiasm among voters, with 78% expressing certainty about casting their votes, a rise from similar polls conducted in the 2020 election. Harris' strengths in healthcare and tackling political extremism give her a slight edge, while Trump remains favored for handling the economy.
Despite high voter engagement, both candidates battle lukewarm favorability ratings, with neither capturing a majority's approval. The upcoming electoral decision will likely hinge on pivotal battleground states, where polls show a neck-and-neck race, heightening the stakes of the November showdown.
