Harris, Trump Approval Ratings Improve Ahead of 2024

Recent polls indicate a surge in voter enthusiasm for Democrats, particularly for Vice President Kamala Harris, who has replaced President Biden as the presumptive nominee. A notable increase in committed voters, now at 62%, is attributed to Harris's energized campaign and a decline in 'double haters'—those pledging to vote for neither candidate. In contrast, former President Trump's favorability ratings have also improved significantly, reaching new highs post-convention, despite skepticism regarding the Republican National Convention's impact on voter base expansion. Critics argue that the Democrats' strategy of racial segmentation may backfire, while some Republican figures, like Senator Mike Lee, express concerns over Biden's declining influence and the party's internal dynamics. As the political landscape shifts, both Harris and Trump are experiencing a rise in their respective approval ratings, suggesting a competitive electoral environment ahead.
