Harris is losing ground to Trump in the American presidential race, polls show | News about the 2024 US elections

The Democratic and Republican nominees were deadlocked with less than a month until the vote, according to new polls.

Kamala Harris is losing ground to Donald Trump with less than a month to go until the election for the presidency of the United States, a series of polls show.

Harris’ lead over Trump has narrowed or completely disappeared as the race for the White House nears the final stretch, according to three polls released on Sunday.

The latest NBC News poll has the Democratic and Republican nominees tied for a 48 percent lead nationally from the Nov. 5 vote, a reversal from Harris’ five-point lead in the same survey last month .

In the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, Harris leads 50 to 48 percent among likely voters. The Democrat led 52 percent to 46 percent in the same poll last month.

The latest CBS News/YouGov poll shows Harris up 51 percent to 48 percent among likely voters, up from a four-point lead last month.

According to the latest figures, Harris has a lead of 1.4 percentage points in the total of Real Clear Polling’s main polls, compared to 2.2 percent on Saturday.

The tightening of poll numbers comes amid concerns among Democrats that Harris is failing to shore up support among Hispanics and African Americans, two of the party’s key constituencies.

While Harris is leading among women of all races, she has struggled to generate enthusiasm among men, including African-Americans and Hispanics, who have increasingly gravitated toward Trump in recent years.

In The New York Times/Siena College polls released Saturday and Sunday, Harris won support from 78 percent of Black voters and 56 percent of Hispanic voters — significantly fewer shares than Democratic nominees won in the 2020 election and 2016.

On Thursday, former President Barack Obama admonished black men for not showing as much enthusiasm for Harris’ candidacy as he received during his 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

“You come up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, and I have a problem with that,” Obama said at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of seven key battleground states expected to decide the election.

“Because some of it makes me think – and I’m speaking directly to men – some of it makes me think that, well, you just don’t like the idea of ​​having a woman as president, and you come up with different alternatives and other reasons for it.”

Harris and Trump continued to focus their campaigns on battleground states on Sunday, with events in North Carolina and Arizona, respectively.

At a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris took aim at Trump for spreading misinformation about the government’s response to recent hurricanes.

“The problem with this, besides being obvious, is that it makes it harder to get people life-saving information if they get the impression they can’t trust it,” Harris said.

“And that’s the pain of it all, is the idea that those in need are somehow convinced that the forces are working against them in a way that they wouldn’t seek help.”

Trump, meanwhile, used a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, to call for the hiring of 10,000 additional Border Patrol agents.

“After I win, I will immediately ask Congress to approve a 10 percent raise — they haven’t had one in a long time — for all officers and a $10,000 retention and signing bonus for each,” said Trump. “We’re going to keep them.”
