Former President Trump and rival Harris tied in national poll

According to CNN's most recent national poll ahead of the November 5 US presidential election, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Kamala Harris both have a support rate of 47% among likely voters.

The poll, conducted by telephone from October 20 to 23 among 1,704 registered voters and released on October 25, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points among likely voters and plus or minus 3.2 percentage points among registered voters.

Now, not just in the CNN poll, a series of other polls show the race is in a stalemate. Vice President Kamala Harris cannot break through in the race to the White House.

Since October 1, the advantage seems to have shifted slightly in Trump’s favor, though it’s not yet clear. Observers say that in the early days of the campaign, Ms. Harris often portrayed herself as the “underdog” to former President Donald Trump. This argument was one of the ways she urged voters to vote for her. But three months later, with the election fast approaching, top advisers and allies of the Democratic candidate are worried that may still be true.

In the so-called “blue wall” states — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are still seen as Harris’s most likely paths to victory — public polls show the race is essentially tied, with surveys differing by an average of just one or two percentage points, well within the margin of error.

Democrats are also trying to capitalize on Ms. Harris’s strength with women, hoping to push white female voters who care about abortion rights to the polls. The vice president appears to be strongly supported by women, but she has a clear problem with men, including black men and working-class white men.

Meanwhile, Mr. Trump is being rated higher than Ms. Harris on economic policy. The Republican candidate is also actively reaching out to male voters, a group that plays an important role in the race.

In the latest information related to the US presidential election, the prestigious and long-standing Washington Post newspaper announced on October 25 that it would not support Democratic candidate Kamala Harris or Republican candidate Donald Trump in the election.

The media outlet's CEO, William Lewis, said it was a return “to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”
