US Presidential Election: America will hold elections for the next President on November 5. In the election field, Donald Trump is from Republican and Kamala Harris is from Democrat. The presidential election has taken an exciting turn. There is a cut-throat competition going on between the two candidates. President Joe Biden had withdrawn his candidacy in July, he has supported Vice President Kamala Harris. If Kamala wins, it will be the first time in the history of America that a woman will become President. At the same time, if Trump wins this election, it will be his second term. But the most important thing is to understand who has the upper hand in this election.
Harris ahead in national surveys
Kamala Harris entered the presidential election at the end of July. After Joe Biden’s support, it seems that only Kamala is doing the talking in the US elections. She is continuously moving ahead by defeating Trump. She has been ahead of Trump in average popularity in almost every survey. After the debate of September 10, it seems as if Kamala’s star has become even higher. After the television debate in Pennsylvania, Kamala’s popularity increased from 2.5 percent to 3.3 points within a week. However, it was not in Trump’s favor in the debate.
How important is the national survey?
However, national surveys are useful for assessing the overall popularity of candidates. However, due to the American Electoral College system, election results cannot be predicted accurately. This system allocates a total of 538 Electoral College votes, of which candidates need 270 to win. The number of votes in each state depends on its population, but most states generally vote for a single party, which means that only a few states decide the victory of candidates in the election.
Tough competition in the states
The present seven states are being considered as battle grounds from the election perspective. There is a contest between Harris and Trump. There is only one or two percent difference between the two. Pennsylvania is considered very important among these states. The highest number of electoral votes are here in these states. Before Biden’s nomination was withdrawn, Trump was trailing by 5 points.
Kamala changed the atmosphere
Since becoming the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris has changed the electoral mood to a great extent. Since the beginning of August, she has been leading over Trump in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. These seven states are California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania. In 2016, the states were Trump strongholds. Biden also had a lead in these states before registering victory in 2020. If Kamala succeeds in doing this this year, she will definitely be a contender for the post of President.
