As Election Day draws near, a significant portion of the American populace is engulfed in anxiety and frustration rather than excitement about the 2024 presidential campaign.
A recent poll from The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research revealed that approximately 70% of Americans experience anxiety or frustration regarding the upcoming election, with a similar proportion expressing interest. Excitement, however, is markedly absent, with only about one-third feeling enthusiastic.
The close contest between leading candidates Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump is filled with uncertainty, as both have presented starkly contrasting closing arguments. The campaign has revealed heightened emotional intensity compared to previous cycles, notably an increase in anxiety among partisans.
