[Music] I will be a president with less than 10 weeks to go before the upcoming US presidential elections the race to the White House is tightening vice president Kamala Harris is leading nationally over former president Donald Trump but her margin is Slim let's have a detailed look at how she's outpacing Trump surveys taken after President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 presidential race show a significant shift these polls came after the Democratic Convention and after independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr endorsed Trump these shifts have closed the gap on key issues where Trump previously held a lead now Harris maintains a narrow National margin according to the latest Wall Street Journal poll Harris leads with 48% of registered voters supporting her Trump follows closely at 47% a separate poll by Quinny Pak University shows Harris with 49% support while Trump trails with 48% Bloomberg or morning consult polls highlight Harris's gains in several crucial States in Georgia Michigan Nevada and Pennsylvania Harris is leading within the margin of error for example she holds 50% in Georgia 49% in Michigan 50% in Nevada and 51% in Pennsylvania in Wisconsin Harris's lead is more substantial with 53% of Voters supporting her however the race is much tighter in Arizona and North Carolina this contrasts with Biden's performance in his re-election campaign where he struggled in these [Music] States before Harris became the Democratic candidate Biden was trailing Trump this was evident well before the US presidential debate on the 27th of June Biden faced difficulties especially in Great Lakes swing States and the Sun Belt regions with narrow margins in some areas and larger gaps in others Harris however is performing better in these regions voters are starting to see her as a more trusted leader particularly among female voters in fact Harris has expanded her lead among women to 13 points up from a Sixpoint margin one poll by Saar USA Today stands out it shows Harris ahead with 48% support Trump at 43% and 9% of Voters still undecided this suggests that Harris's popularity is overtaking Trump's earlier gains during Biden's campaign despite Harris's gains Trump remains strong on key issues he leads Harris by eight points each on the economy and inflation Trump also has a 9-point advantage on handling the US Mexico border these issues are crucial to voters and could influence the election outcome the Trump Harris debate slated for the 10th of September on ABC News could be a GameChanger the narrow margin between the candidates means that the debate could significantly shift public opinion as it did after the 27th of June debate where Biden struggled against Trump as we approach the final stretch of the 2024 United States presidential race the comp comption between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close and highly competitive Harris's recent gains indicate she's resonating with key voter demographics however Trump's strengths on critical issues like the economy and border security suggest that the race is far from decided both campaigns are likely to intensify their efforts in the coming weeks making this Final Phase crucial in determining the elections outcome
