[New Title] Presidential Election Poll Shows Shift in Voter Preference
A recent poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos revealed a shift in voter preference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, indicating a surge in support for the Democratic vice president as the November 5th presidential election approaches.
Economic and Crime Preference
According to the three-day poll conducted from August 23rd to 25th, 43% of registered voters favored Trump’s approach to the economy, with 40% preferring Harris’s approach, marking a narrow 3-percentage point difference. However, this difference is within the poll’s 4 percentage point margin of error and is therefore not considered statistically significant. In contrast, a previous poll by Reuters/Ipsos in late July showed Trump leading by 11 points on economic issues.
In terms of crime and corruption, Harris and Trump were tied at 40% support each, indicating a shift towards Harris from the previous poll, in which she trailed Trump by 5 points.
Recent Polls and Independent Candidate Influence
Recent national polls have shown Harris consistently leading over Trump since joining the race on July 21st, following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the campaign. The late July Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated Harris leading by 1 point at 43% to 42%. The impact of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Trump, after attracting about 8% of voters in the prior poll, remains to be seen.
Policy Focus and Voter Concerns
While Trump has criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the economy in his campaign speeches, Harris has pledged to address issues such as high inflation and “price gouging” by grocers. The most significant concerns for registered voters were the economy (26%), political extremism and threats to democracy (22%), and immigration (13%).
Voter Preference on Key Issues
The poll revealed that 42% of voters favored Harris over Trump on the issue of extremism, while Trump had a 45% to 37% lead on immigration policy. Despite these findings, neither candidate is widely liked, with 59% of voters having an unfavorable view of Trump and 52% holding the same view of Harris. Harris was viewed favorably by 47% of voters, compared to 39% for Trump.
Survey Details
The online poll collected responses from 1,028 adults nationwide, including 902 registered voters, providing insight into the evolving dynamics of the upcoming presidential election.
