Kamala Harris, Donald Trump Tied in Polls

As the U.S. presidential election approaches, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are locked in a tight race, with recent polls showing them tied at 48% in national support and similarly close in key swing states. A New York Times/Siena College poll highlighted a concerning trend for Harris, as her slight lead from earlier in October has evaporated, reflecting voter sentiment that favors Trump, particularly on immigration and economic issues. Trump has promised significant immigration reforms, resonating with 15% of voters who prioritize this issue. Moreover, Trump's narrative about the country's direction appears to be gaining traction, with only 28% of voters believing the country is heading in the right direction. Meanwhile, Harris aims to attract women voters and moderate Republicans to bolster her campaign. In New Hampshire, an Emerson College poll indicates Harris has a slight edge over Trump, although she is underperforming compared to Biden's 2020 support among independents.
