In a recent poll, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are nearly tied in voter support ahead of their upcoming debate. If the election were held today, 48% of people said they would vote for Trump, while 47% would back Harris. The poll has a three-point margin of error.
The results suggest that Harris faces challenges, as 28% of voters want to know more about her compared to only 9% for Trump. Many voters think the next president should bring significant change from Joe Biden, and while Trump is seen as more likely to provide that change, only 25% think Harris would. Additionally, more people feel Harris is too liberal compared to those who think Trump is too conservative.
Harris is expected to address key issues like democracy and abortion, while Trump is perceived as stronger on the economy and immigration. Democratic strategist James Carville has cautioned that while there is enthusiasm for Harris, the campaign will be tough and requires careful strategy.
