SUMMARY
A recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows former President Donald Trump edging out Vice President Kamala Harris by 1 percentage point, with Trump at 48% and Harris at 47%. The poll, conducted from September 3 to 6, surveyed 1,695 registered voters nationwide. When including third-party candidates, Trump’s support drops slightly to 46%, compared to Harris’s 44%, with 4% undecided. The poll highlights Trump’s stronger performance on the economy and immigration, with 56% of voters believing he would manage the economy better and 53% favoring him on immigration issues. In contrast, 55% of voters think Harris would handle abortion more effectively. Harris has faced criticism for her flip flopping policy stances and lack of detailed proposals, contributing to her lower standing. Economic concerns, rising prices, and border issues are key voter concerns in the upcoming election.
