The gap between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump is disappearing, the US presidential election is breathtaking until the last minute

With less than a month to go until the US presidential election, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is gradually losing her lead over candidate Donald Trump, Al Jazeera reported, citing the results of a series of recent polls.

According to three polls released on October 13, Ms. Harris's lead over Mr. Trump has narrowed or disappeared completely as the 2024 White House race approaches its final stretch.

In the latest NBC News poll, ahead of the November 5 vote, the Democratic nominee and his Republican opponent are tied nationally at 48%. That’s a turnaround from Harris’s 5-point lead in the same survey last month.

In the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, Harris leads 50% to 48% among likely voters for Trump, up from 52% to 46% in the same poll last month.

The latest CBS News/YouGov poll shows the current Vice President leading the former President 51% to 48% among likely voters, a margin that has narrowed to 3 points from 4 points last month.

According to the latest figures on October 12, Ms. Harris leads by 1.4% in all major polls of Real Clear Polling, down from 2.2%.

The increasingly tight polls suggest the US presidential election will be a close one until the last minute. The fluctuating poll numbers come amid concerns from Democrats that Ms Harris is struggling to win support from Hispanics and African Americans – two of the party’s key voting groups.

While the current vice president is popular with most female voters of all races, she has struggled to galvanize enthusiasm among men, including African Americans and Hispanics who have increasingly leaned toward Mr. Trump in recent years.

In polls released by The New York Times/Siena College on October 12-13, Ms. Harris drew the support of 78% of black voters and 56% of Hispanic voters — significantly lower than the percentages won by Democratic candidates in the 2020 and 2016 elections.

Former President Barack Obama on October 10 blamed black men for not showing as much enthusiasm for candidate Harris as he received during his campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

"You give all kinds of reasons and excuses, I don't agree with that," Mr. Obama said at a campaign event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of seven important "swing" battleground states expected to decide the outcome of the US presidential election.

Harris and Trump continued to focus their campaigns on battleground states on October 13, holding events in North Carolina and Arizona, respectively. At a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris took aim at Trump, accusing the former president of spreading misinformation about the government ’s response to recent hurricanes.

Meanwhile, at a campaign rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, Mr. Trump spent much of his speech stoking fears about undocumented immigrants. The former president also pledged a goal of hiring 10,000 more border guards, raising pay by 10% and offering $10,000 signing and retention bonuses.
