Harris Holds Slim Lead as Economy and Immigration Dominate Voter Concerns
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican former President Donald Trump by 46% to 43%. This slight advantage, within the poll’s margin of error, indicates a tight race with just two weeks until the November 5 election. Harris’ lead remained consistent with a previous poll where she had a 45% to 42% edge.

Voter Concerns: Economy and Immigration

Voters expressed dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, particularly on economic and immigration issues. About 70% of registered voters believe the cost of living is on the wrong track, while 60% said the economy is deteriorating, and 65% voiced concerns about immigration policies. When asked which candidate would better address these concerns, Trump led on the economy (46% to 38%) and immigration (48% to 35%).

Key Election Issues

Immigration was cited as the most important issue for the next president’s first 100 days in office, with 35% of respondents selecting it as their top priority. Other critical concerns include income inequality (11%), healthcare (10%), and taxes (10%).

 

Harris Leads on Democracy and Healthcare

While Trump performed well on economic issues, Harris gained ground in areas like political extremism, where she led 42% to 35%, as well as healthcare and abortion policy. However, her narrow lead may not secure a victory due to the Electoral College, which decides the election. Polls indicate a tight contest in key battleground states, where both candidates are neck and neck.

Voter Enthusiasm

The poll suggested higher voter engagement compared to 2020, with 79% of registered voters—87% of Democrats and 84% of Republicans—expressing certainty about casting their ballots. This marks an increase from a similar poll conducted before the 2020 election.

Turnout and Electoral Strategy

With only two-thirds of U.S. adults voting in the 2020 election, a record turnout, both campaigns are focusing on ensuring voter participation. The final result may hinge on which side can mobilize their base effectively, especially in key swing states.

Poll Details

The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 4,129 U.S. adults, including 3,481 registered voters, with a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Among likely voters, Harris held a 48% to 45% lead over Trump.

Conclusion

As the election approaches, the race remains highly competitive, with voter turnout and battleground state results likely determining the final outcome. Harris’ slight national lead may not be enough if Trump can secure victories in critical swing states, mirroring his 2016 Electoral College success despite losing the popular vote.
