Harris loses base to Trump in US presidential race, polls suggest | 2024 US Election News

The Democratic and Republican nominees are locked in a dead heat with less than a month to go until the vote, according to new polls.

Kamala Harris is losing ground to Donald Trump with less than a month to go before the election of the president of the United States, a series of polls suggest.

Harris’ lead over Trump has narrowed or disappeared as the race for the White House draws to a close, according to three polls released Sunday.

In the latest NBC News poll, the Democratic and Republican nominees are tied nationally at 48 percent ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, a turnaround from Harris’ five-point lead in the same survey last month.

In the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, Harris leads 50 percent 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, compared to a four-point gain last month.

According to the latest figures, Harris has a 1.4 percent lead in the Real Clear Polling general election, down from 2.2 percent on Saturday.

The strong poll numbers come amid concerns from Democrats that Harris is failing to gain support among Hispanics and African Americans, two of the party’s key constituencies.

While Harris leads among women of all races, she has struggled to generate enthusiasm among men, including African Americans and Hispanics, who have increasingly focused on Trump in recent years.

In a New York Times/Siena College poll released Saturday and Sunday, Harris drew the support of 78 percent of black voters and 56 percent of Hispanic voters — far lower shares than the Democratic nominees in the 2020 and 2016 elections.

On Thursday, former President Barack Obama admonished black men for not showing the same interest in Harris’s nomination as he had in his 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

“He comes up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I have a problem with that,” Obama said at a campaign event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of seven key swing states.

“Because part of you makes me think — and I’m talking directly to men — part of you makes me think, you’re not just hearing the idea of ​​having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other ways and other reasons for that.”

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

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

“The problem with this, beyond the obvious, is that it makes it difficult for people to get life-saving information if they are led to believe that they can’t be trusted,” said Harris.

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

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

“After I win, I will be asking Congress immediately to approve a 10 percent raise – they haven’t had in a long time – for all agents and a $10,000 bonus for each closing and signing,” Trump said. “We will keep them.”
