US Presidential Election: The presidential election in the US is getting interesting. Vice President Kamala Harris has suffered a major setback before the election. Three recent surveys have indicated that her race against former US President Donald Trump for the presidency seems to be slowing down a bit. Meanwhile, two surveys conducted in Pennsylvania, one of the most important states, show that Trump is maintaining a slight lead over Harris, while the third national survey also shows Kamala behind Trump.
Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania
Fresh surveys have been conducted in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is one of the swing states in the United States with 19 electoral votes to its name. Cyber polls by Signal and Emerson College Poll show that Trump is ahead here. According to the Signal Poll of 800 likely voters conducted on August 14 and 15, Trump is one point ahead of Harris. The poll puts independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 5 percent. Trump is up 2 percent and Kennedy is down 4 percent since the last Signal Poll in July.
Trump leads here too
RealClearPennsylvania: Emerson College’s poll of 1,000 likely voters in Pennsylvania conducted on August 13-14 also found Trump ahead by 1 point. It had Harris at 48 percent and Trump at 49 percent. When undecided voters who leaned toward a candidate were included, Trump’s lead widened to 51 percent to Harris’ 49 percent. When Kennedy was included in the survey, Harris and Trump were tied at 47 percent, while the independent candidate captured 3 percent.
What is Trump’s position at the national level
Nationally, a Neapolitan News Service poll conducted by RMG Research among 2,708 likely voters between August 12-14 showed Trump leading Harris by 1 point. Trump received 46 percent of the vote, while Harris received 45 percent. When undecided voters who leaned toward a candidate are included, Trump’s lead widens to 49 percent, while Harris received 47 percent. This also marks a change from the previous RMG poll in which both candidates received 49 percent of the vote.
