A new report from the Pew Research Center published on Monday shows Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump deadlocked in polls, with each garnering support from 49% of registered voters. The report highlights Harris’s advantage on mental sharpness compared to Trump, with 61% of voters describing her as mentally sharp, compared to 52% for Trump. This marks a significant change from a previous survey in July, where more voters viewed Trump as mentally sharp.
As the November election approaches, both Harris and Trump bring different strengths to the presidential contest. Trump leads on the economy, while Harris is ahead on abortion rights and several other issues. The Harris campaign is ramping up efforts to differentiate her policies from Trump, releasing three new TV ads targeting him on abortion rights. The campaign is also airing a TV ad featuring former officials in the Trump administration warning about the threat he poses to the country.
On the eve of the debate, Harris is gearing up to face off against Trump in what promises to be an intense showdown. The debate will provide both candidates with an opportunity to contrast their policies and leadership styles. Harris has been warned by her husband that Trump is likely to speak untruths during the debate, but she remains focused on prosecuting the case against him. Additionally, Harris has received endorsements from top military officials who warn of the danger Trump poses to national security and democracy. Republican officials have expressed concerns about the lack of resources in Trump’s voter turnout operation in battleground states. Overall, the upcoming debate is expected to shed light on Harris’s strategy against Trump and offer insight into the key issues shaping the election.
