This marks a significant shift in the electoral landscape, with Harris working to establish herself among voters. While Trump maintains his support on economic issues, Harris is viewed more favorably for her leadership abilities.
According to AFP/Arabnews on August 5th, a new poll shows Kamala Harris, who is about to announce her vice presidential candidate, has a slight lead over former US President Donald Trump in the race for the White House, marking a significant shift in the election landscape.
In a CBS News/YouGov poll, Harris is currently leading Trump by one percentage point nationwide, reversing the five-percentage-point advantage Trump once had over President Joe Biden before he dropped out of his re-election bid.
With the November 5th election fast approaching, Harris has narrowed the gap that Trump had previously built. While Trump, who shocked the public with his 2016 presidential victory but was defeated by President Biden in 2020, maintains strong voter support on economic issues, Harris is racing to establish herself with voters.
A crucial moment is approaching when Harris announces her choice for her running mate in her historic bid to become America's first female president. Many predict that Harris will choose a white male, possibly a moderate Democrat, to balance the vote and counter Republican criticism of her being too left-leaning.
Harris's shortlist for vice presidential candidate includes three leading figures: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. These individuals visited Harris in Washington, D.C., on August 4th.
According to pollster Amy Walter, this decision will reveal Harris's strategic planning. While Harris has achieved some positive results in the polls, Trump still enjoys voter support on economic issues.
The poll showed that only 25% of voters expected their financial situation to improve if Harris won, compared to 45% for Trump. However, Harris was rated higher in terms of leadership ability than Trump.
The Democrats believe that if the referendum is on Trump instead of the current economic situation, they have a real chance of winning. Meanwhile, Trump used the Republican Convention to project a strong image, but President Biden's withdrawal and Harris's rapid rise are posing a significant challenge to him.
Earlier on August 3, Harris's campaign said Trump was "afraid" to debate her after he refused a live televised debate on ABC, but was willing to debate on Fox News, a network that has supported him for years.
