A new poll suggests Vice President Kamala Harris may be losing her edge over former President Donald Trump in this year’s election, with Jason Miller, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, saying on Sunday that “the honeymoon is officially over.”
The new survey, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College from September 3 to 6, shows Trump leading Harris by a razor-thin margin of 48 to 47 percent among likely voters.
The poll, which surveyed 1,695 voters nationwide, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
“Kamala Harris has been exposed as a Radical Left individual who owns the destruction of our economy and our border.”
While Harris maintains strong support on issues such as democracy protection and abortion rights, Trump holds significant advantages on the economy and immigration.
The Times’ own average has Harris ahead by 2 points, while FiveThirtyEight’s average shows Harris leading Trump by 3.1 points.
A CBS News/YouGov survey conducted between September 3 to 6 in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin underscores the tight race in these crucial swing states.
In Michigan, Harris leads Trump by a single point (50 to 49 percent) among likely voters, with a margin of error of 3.7 points.
Trump polled 50 percent in Michigan, 50 percent in Pennsylvania, and 55 percent in Wisconsin when it comes to middle-class interests.
Conversely, most Trump voters see Harris’ comments about him as insulting.
A Trump campaign spokesman, Jason Miller, stated on Sunday that “the honeymoon is officially over,” indicating that Vice President Kamala Harris may be losing ground to former President Donald Trump in this year’s election, according to a new poll. “.
Trump leads Harris by a narrow margin of 48 to 47 percent among likely voters, according to a new survey released by The New York Times and Siena College between September 3 and September 6. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 point 8 percentage points and was conducted among 1,695 voters nationwide.
Repercussions from the poll results were felt in both campaigns on Sunday. The figures serve as a sobering wake-up call for the vice presidential campaign, which has experienced a spike in support since unseating President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in late July.
Miller declared in a statement to Politico’s Playbook that “the honeymoon is officially over.”. “Kamala Harris has come to light as a member of the Radical Left who is responsible for the collapse of both our economy and our border. “.
“Polling shows President Trump is dominating both nationally and in the battleground states because voters want a return to pro-America policies that actually work, not the weak, failed, and dangerously liberal policies of Comrade Kamala,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement to Newsweek on Sunday afternoon. “.”.
For a comment on Sunday, Newsweek emailed the campaign of Miller and Harris.
Just a few weeks before the November election, the survey presents a nuanced picture of voter sentiment. Trump has a major advantage in the areas of immigration and the economy, while Harris continues to support issues like abortion rights and democracy protection.
A pivotal point in the campaign, as both candidates get ready for their first-ever head-to-head debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, is marked by the release of the Times/Siena poll, which FiveThirtyEight has rated as the most accurate pollster. A recent CBS News/YouGov poll found that 28% of likely voters feel they need to learn more about Harris, compared to just 9% for Trump. This suggests that the televised encounter could play a significant role in influencing voter perceptions.
The results of Sunday’s poll aside, Harris continues to lead in other national polling averages. Harris leads Trump by 2 points according to The Times’ own average, but Trump leads Harris by 3 points according to FiveThirtyEight’s average. The election will probably be decided in important battleground states, though, as seen by past elections.
The tight race in these important swing states is highlighted by a CBS News/YouGov survey that was conducted in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin between September 3 and September 6. With a 3 point, 7 point margin of error, Harris leads Trump by one point (50 to 49 percent) among likely voters in Michigan. 1,086 registered voters in Michigan, 1,085 in Pennsylvania, and 958 in Wisconsin comprised representative samples from which the results were derived.
Many factors are at play in the close race, according to the CBS News/YouGov poll. Among voters who feel they aren’t doing any better financially since the COVID-19 pandemic and whose incomes aren’t keeping up with inflation, Trump leads by 53 percent to Harris’ 27 percent. Additionally, he has an advantage over white working-class and non-college voters.
Harris is competitive in a few important areas. Compared to Trump, who many voters characterize as “extreme,” she is thought to be slightly more adept at representing the interests of the middle class and to hold more mainstream views. In terms of middle-class interests, the vice president received votes in Michigan (57%), Pennsylvania (53%), and Wisconsin (55%). In addition, he has an advantage over Biden on issues like affordable housing and is seen as having the mental and cognitive capacity to serve. Regarding the interests of the middle class, Trump received 50% of the vote in Michigan, 50% in Pennsylvania, and 55% in Wisconsin.
Social media and campaign rhetoric have different effects. Even though a startling 71% of voters think that Trump’s remarks and social media posts are demeaning to Harris, 25% of those voters nevertheless back him. But most Trump supporters find Harris’ criticism of him offensive.
