With the US presidential election only two months away, current polls show a close race between Republican contender and former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a survey done by The New York Times and Siena College, Trump has a slim edge of 48 percent, one point ahead of Harris.
However, when surveys are averaged across the country, Harris has edged ahead with 49 percent, giving her a 2-point advantage over Trump.
The poll results emphasize the race’s competitive nature, as the contenders prepare for their first televised debate on September 10.
The debate, which will take place at ABC News headquarters in New York, will be a critical occasion for both candidates as they compete for voter support ahead of the November 5 election.
Nearly 30% of respondents admitted to being unaware of Harris’s political viewpoint, indicating that the Democratic nominee may face difficulties in cementing her platform with voters.
On the other hand, a majority of people say they comprehend Trump’s political beliefs.
As the election approaches, both candidates are anticipated to ramp up their campaigns, focusing on important battleground states and undecided voters who can change the outcome of the race.
