Recent Gallup polling indicates that former President Donald Trump has seen an increase in his favorability, now at 46% with 53% unfavorable, compared to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is at 44% favorable and 54% unfavorable. This marks a rise of five points for Trump since August and a decline of three points for Harris during the same period. Notably, Trump holds a significant advantage among independents, leading Harris by 16 points in favorability ratings. Despite both candidates having higher unfavorable ratings than favorable ones, Trump's ratings are better than they were during the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, while Harris's are comparable to those of President Biden in 2020. The poll suggests that Trump's momentum is growing as the election approaches, while Harris seems to be struggling to connect with voters. These trends pose challenges for Harris as she seeks to bolster her campaign moving forward.
