A new survey from the newspaper New York Timesin partnership with Siena Collegepoints out that voters in the United States remain divided between voting for Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris for president.
In the poll, published this Thursday (19), the candidates appear technically tied, with 47% of voting intentions each, indicating that the scenario has not changed much since Joe Biden was replaced by Harris in the electoral race.
Still, the Democrat holds a slight advantage in Pennsylvania (50% support against Trump’s 46%), one of the key states that could determine the outcome of the November 5 election. The margin of error for this second Pennsylvania poll, conducted with the Philadelphia Inquirer, is plus or minus 3.8 points, while for the national assessment it is plus or minus 3 points.
Since the last survey released in early September, there have been no significant changes in the numbers among the candidates.
The national poll also found that Harris, the incumbent vice president of the United States, performed more positively in last week’s debate, with 67% of likely voters surveyed saying she performed well, compared with 40% who said the same of Donald Trump.
The most recent polls were conducted almost entirely before the second assassination attempt on the Republican last Sunday. In total, 2,437 US residents were interviewed between September 11 and 16.
In the analysis of the TeamsKamala Harris still has some critical vulnerabilities that need to be worked on to gain support before the election, especially since, according to the newspaper, “many more voters see her as too liberal than see Trump as too conservative.”
With the electoral impasse, the two candidates are focused on the six swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), where historically undecided voters are located.
