Washington : Voting for the presidential election is to be held in November in America. In such a situation, America is completely in election mode at this time.
Surveys are also being released continuously just before the election, but all these surveys are failing to clearly show anyone’s lead. In the surveys that have come out so far, some show Kamala Harris ahead, while some show Joe Biden ahead. However, this lead has not been very high. In such a situation, election experts are not able to reach any conclusion on this election.
According to a News18 report, a new national survey released last Friday shows a close contest in the US presidential race. The New York Times and Siena College surveys show that both Harris and Trump are at 48 percent. In the CNN survey too, both are at 47 percent. In the Wall Street Journal survey, Trump is at 47 percent while Harris is at 45 percent. It is clear from this that the contest remains very close.
This is the closest election in 24 years
Associate Professor David Smith of the University of Sydney says that this is the closest election fought in the last 24 years i.e. since 2000. Smith says, ‘The elections we have seen in most of the states are so close that it has become difficult to predict. It is getting to the point where whenever I see a new survey, it does not tell who will win the election.’
The Washington Post has said that Harris’s election depends on repeating her stellar performance in the three Great Lakes states – Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. If Harris can secure these three states like Biden, she will come close to victory. On the other hand, Trump’s hopes are based on making inroads into the strong areas of the Democratic Party.
What do observers think about the elections
Observers of the US election are saying that it will further polarize and divide Americans. Abortion is undoubtedly a major issue in the election. The state of education and college politics will play an important role in the election result. The Republican Party is trying to expand beyond its white, working class voters. Especially efforts are being made to connect with Latinos and Blacks.
