2024 US presidential elections: With less than four weeks until the US presidential elections, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are engaged in a tight race, according to the latest Emerson College and The Hill surveys.
In the 2024 US elections, Pennsylvania stands out as the most important swing state among the seven states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina.
Query data in PennsylvaniaGeorgia and North Carolina showed a Republican bias, with data revealing a slight advantage in favor of Donald Trump.
In all three states, former US President Donald Trump leads with 49 percent, compared to Kamala Harris’s 48 percent.
Arizona follows a similar trend, with Republican Trump getting 49 percent support, compared to Harris’ 47 percent.
Nevada is the only swing state where the numbers revealed an advantage for Harris, with the Democrat leading with 48 percent support to Trump’s 47 percent.
Interestingly, Michigan and Wisconsin have Kamala Harris and Donald Trump tied at 49 percent.
Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump: What works and what doesn’t?
The Emerson College Polling survey noted that Harris’ advantage in the presidential race is her popularity with Asian and young voters. However, she struggles with older voters and independents.
Meanwhile, support for Donald Trump remains steady in key states like Wisconsin, as speculation grows that he could win here.
Additionally, union households also exert influence on polls. Emerson College polls showed that in Pennsylvania, union households support Trump (53 percent to 43 percent), while Harris holds a slight advantage among non-union voters (49 percent to 48 percent).
Various factors, such as demographics and union households, influence the polls, but economic concerns remain a major topic for voters in most states, with the exception of Arizona, where immigration is top of mind for 30 percent of voters.
The economy and immigration are key issues on which Donald Trump and Kamala Harris frequently collide. These factors will likely play a crucial role as candidates work to win over undecided voters.
