US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has edged out Donald Trump in three key states that could play a decisive role in the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. According to the latest poll commissioned by The New York Times, Harris leads Trump by 4% in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
According to the poll, 50% of voters in these states support Harris, while 46% support Trump. It became one of the first significant sociological assessments after incumbent President Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy from the election race, passing the baton to his vice president.
These results indicate a significant strengthening of the Democratic Party's position in three swing states that have long determined the fate of US presidential elections. Donald Trump previously held a slight advantage in these regions, but now Harris is moving to the front, a landmark achievement for her campaign.
Despite Harris' overall lead in those states, the poll also revealed some weaknesses in her campaign. Voters trust Trump more when it comes to the economy and immigration, topics that remain central to the election race. This means that despite the general support, Harris must work on strengthening his position in these areas in order to maintain his advantage and increase his chances of victory.
Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race has created new challenges and opportunities for the Democratic Party. Harris' positions in key states show that voters are ready to support the new face of the party. At the same time, the Harris campaign must take into account all aspects that can affect the final result, especially on the economy and security issues, where voters so far prefer her opponent.
The results of this poll point to a possible turning point in the 2024 presidential campaign. If Harris can maintain and expand her lead in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, it could be a decisive factor in her victory in the election. But her campaign faces serious challenges, and how she handles them will determine the future of the presidential race.
