Washington:
With only three weeks left in the presidential campaign, opinion polls still predict the two sides to be evenly matched. Kamala Harris is hoping to capitalize on the Obamas’ political charisma, especially since the latest polls show she is trailing Donald Trump.
Harris, Trump Neck and Neck
Kamala Harris’ lead is heading south in the final dash to the November election, according to the three latest polls conducted Sunday. Just ahead of the Nov. 5 election, Democratic and Republican candidates are currently deadlocked in national polls, with each receiving 48% support, according to the latest NBC News poll.
Harris currently leads Trump by a narrow 50% to 48% margin among likely voters, according to the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, and the latest CBS News/YouGov poll shows It was a close race, with Kamala Harris holding a narrow lead. He outnumbered Donald Trump among likely voters, 51% to 48%.
To support Harris’ political efforts, the Obamas plan to start campaigning at separate events starting next week, as they hope to boost voter turnout in battleground states where she remains popular with Democratic voters.
On October 26th, former First Lady Michelle Obama will be campaigning with Kamala Harris during this election in Michigan, and next Thursday, former President Barack Obama will also be campaigning with them in Georgia. It’s planned. Apart from this, he also plans to visit other states independently.
President Obama furious
The polls are particularly concerning for Democrats, with Harris leading among women of all races but struggling to gain significant support from men, including Hispanics and African Americans. . President Obama addressed this challenge, which prompted some backlash.
He scolded black men for not showing the same enthusiasm for Harris that she received in 2008 and 2012, and urged them to support the idea of a woman becoming president.
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, and there’s a problem with that,” President Obama said at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking directly to men – part of it makes me think, well, the idea that you just make a woman president. Even though you’re not feeling it, you’ve come up with other alternatives and other reasons.
President Obama also posted on X: “@KamalaHarris has spent her life fighting for people who need a voice and a chance. And she will continue to fight for you. I’m proud to vote for someone like that.” And that’s the kind of president we need.”
