With around three weeks to go for the forthcoming US Presidential elections, the lead with Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris has now equalled with former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump, according to a latest poll by NBC News.
Both the leaders are deadlocked at 48% support each from registered voters in the latest NBC News poll. The poll suggests that Republicans have come back to support Trump after a rough presidential debate last month with Harris and a possible polling deficit.
The survey, which is released three weeks ahead of the Election Day in the US, shows the declining popularity of Kamala Harris in a month’s time as she has given away 5% lead which she had in September. Last month, Harris was being supported by 49% of electorates who participated in the survey while Trump remained at 44%.
“As summer has turned to fall, any signs of momentum for Kamala Harris have stopped, the race is a dead heat,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.
At a time when the world is facing hostilities across West Asia, Russia-Ukraine and other regions, the US Presidential poll becomes the greatest match-up for the outcomes of the war and the ceasefire process, since the US plays a larger role in backing Ukraine and Israel.
According to the survey, Harris maintains her big advantages over Trump among the Black voters (84%-11%), young voters aged 18 to 34 (57%-37%), and white voters with college degrees (55%-41%).
Meanwhile, the former President Trump leads in rural voters (75%-23%), white voters (56%-42%) and whites without college degrees (65%-33%).
Though interestingly, the decline among the popularity of Kamala Harris reported between September and October comes mainly from the independent and young voters.
