Trump advances in the polls and narrows the gap with Kamala Harris to the maximum

The calculation of this specialized website includes the survey published this Wednesday by The Wall Street Journalwhich places Trump two percentage points ahead of Harris (47% compared to 45%), a figure that contrasts with the two tenths of an advantage that the August survey by the same medium assigned to the current vice president. The WSJ study points out that, as the campaign has progressed, the positive perception of the former president has increased, while the negative impression of Joe Biden’s successor in the Democratic electoral poster has worsened. Something similar happens with its main proposals for the next four years.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is toughening her messages against Trump. If upon entering the electoral race and during the only face-to-face debate held, he was painted as someone rather strange and distant from the average American, now he does not hesitate to call him “fascist«, as he did this Friday in a forum organized by the CNN television network in Pennsylvania.

The distribution of the delegates who are elected in each state and who form the so-called Electoral college remains one more day without moving in the RealClearPolitics poll average. Trump retains a lead of four electoral votes out of the 538 at stake. To become president, one of the two candidates must reach 270 delegates.

The distances are also narrowing in the key states, those where the result is not clear and where the candidates really fight, since they are the ones that can tip the balance to one side or the other. In this case, Kamala Harris manages to scratch Trump by a few tenths in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Snowfall and Wisconsin. The former president, on the other hand, slightly increases his advantage in Arizona and North Carolina.

The data comes from the averages of surveys published in real time on the website RealClearPoliticsdedicated to the in-depth analysis of current political events in the US, with editorial criteria of balance and partisan neutrality.
