The continuation of the tight race between Harris and Trump in key states
A poll conducted two weeks before the November 2024 US presidential election shows a close race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in seven key states in the election.
According to Isna, a poll conducted by the companies “Washington Post/Oscar School of Politics and Government”, the results of which were published on Monday, showed that Kamala Harris, the candidate for the presidency of the Democratic Party of the United States of America, among the likely voters in the state of Georgia while “Donald Trump”, the Republican candidate, gets 47% of votes in this state. In the key state of Arizona, however, it is Trump who has an advantage over his Democratic rival with a result of 49% to 46%. However, the superiority of both candidates in these states is lower than the poll’s margin of error of 4.5%; The poll was conducted between September 30 and October 15 by asking 5016 people who were registered as voters.
Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic presidential candidate after Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July, according to the poll, showed a slight advantage in three other key states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin; Three states in which he held election rallies on Monday with the participation of Liz Cheney, the Republican figure opposed to Trump.
Trump also won in North Carolina over his Democratic rival, and 2 candidates in the state of Nevada both won 48% of the votes. The former US president held a rally in North Carolina on Monday after visiting the devastation left by Hurricane Helen.
78-year-old Trump, after experiencing 2 nominations in the presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, is now running for the third time in this election; 2 experiences that led him to victory once in 2016 and defeat once in 2020. However, after his defeat in the 2020 elections, he claimed that this defeat happened as a result of massive fraud in the elections, and later he faced lawsuits for allegedly trying to violate the election results, among his other lawsuits.
Harris, who is 60 years old, has previously been the District Attorney of San Francisco and the Attorney General of the United States. He was also a senator in the past, and now as the vice president and presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of America, he is trying to strengthen the base of young, female and colored voters of the Democrats and also to attract the votes of the Republicans who oppose Trump.
The results of the Washington Post/Oscar School of Politics and Government poll were similar to the results of several other recent polls between the two candidates that showed them in a tie in seven key states. According to some polls, Harris has an advantage over Trump at the national level, but this advantage is not so great.
Overall, the Washington Post/Oscar School of Politics and Government poll found that 49 percent of likely voters nationwide support Harris and 48 percent support Trump. A Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters a few days ago put Harris ahead of Trump with 42 percent at 45 percent.
However, what will determine the final winner of the US presidential election, in addition to the electoral votes, is the results of the delegates’ votes in the Electoral College, and in this section, seven key states will play a decisive role.
