Opinion polls showed that Republican candidate Donald Trump is narrowly ahead of Democrat Kamala Harris in the US presidential election race.
According to the poll, most of those who participated in it adopted a more positive view of the former president’s agenda and performance and a more negative view of his competition, at a time when the results indicate that the competition is intense and very close between the two candidates in the seven swing states.
A new poll conducted by the American newspaper “The Wall Street Journal” showed that voters in the United States have adopted a “more positive view” of the policies and performance of the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, compared to the performance of his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris.
In the poll conducted by the newspaper between 19 and 22 October of this year on 1,500 voters, Trump won 47%, compared to 45% in favor of Harris, who was ahead by two percentage points in the August poll on a ballot that included independent candidates and candidates from third parties.
This conversion comes after Harris was ahead by two points in the poll last August, as both differences are within the margin of error, meaning that the actual result may be in favor of either candidate.
The poll indicated that “the negative advertising campaigns and media appearances of the candidates” significantly affected the previous positive impressions that voters had of Harris.
Harris also recorded her “worst rating as Vice President” in this poll, as the approval rate for her performance reached only 42 percent, compared to 54 percent who disapproved of her performance, according to the American newspaper.
Trump has a clear advantage when it comes to his economic policies, as 10 percent of voters view his economic plans favorably.
Within the framework of the presidential race, both candidates’ campaigns spent huge sums on advertisements to enhance their image, as Trump and his allies have spent more than $378 million on advertisements in various media since the end of the caucuses in August, with a large focus on presenting Harris as a figure who is “more liberal than she can handle.” The nation.”
In contrast, Harris’ campaign spent more than $625 million, aiming to present her favorably to voters.
According to media reports, Harris and Trump accelerated the pace of their election campaign in an effort to win the votes of hesitant voters, two weeks before the presidential vote.
She explained that Harris seeks to convince conservative women in the suburbs of three swing states in the Midwest that Trump “poses a threat to abortion rights, national security, and democracy.”
74% of black voters, the group that strongly favors Harris, say they will definitely vote, compared to 81% of white voters, the group that generally leans toward Trump.
