The latest polls in seven battleground states widely seen as deciding factors in the presidential election are good news for Donald Trump.
An Ipsos poll of 1,598 likely voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin ranked Republican candidates ahead of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in key areas. I am evaluating it.
This impression provides the background for the former president's 1-point lead overall in a poll of battleground states with 88 electoral votes.
First, voters in battleground states are more than twice as likely to believe that the vice president is in thrall to the political establishment than the former president.
Thirty-five percent of respondents believe Harris is part of the current establishment, while only 16% make a similar claim about Trump.
And while voters believe Harris is the establishment candidate, they also discount her lack of experience compared to the previous president, again by a margin of more than 2-1.
A whopping 47% of respondents believe Trump is more experienced. Only 21% believe Harris is the more experienced pick, making it a seemingly terrible move to remove her after nearly four years in office.
Beyond impressions, many issues have affected the former president's strength, not the least of which is immigration.
Voters in the battleground state, 48% to 33%, trust Trump over Harris to handle the rugged border and the growing presence of illegal aliens amid a cautious crackdown by the Biden-Harris administration. I am doing it. This is a meaningful indicator, as one in three voters considers immigration to be a top three issue.
Trump also came out on top on war and terrorism, with 42% of voters approving of Trump's approach and 32% believing Harris is better suited to deal with global conflicts. are.
Economic issues are also in line with Republicans, with 37% supporting Harris' vision, while 43% support the kind of control seen in the prosperous era before the coronavirus.
One-third of all respondents (and 46% of Republicans) say inflation (or is it Bidenflation?) is the biggest issue in this election, and dollar devaluation is an area of weakness for Democratic candidates. It suggests that.
And, ironically, given that Harris has cast herself as a “prosecutor” of her opponents' weaknesses, voters have slightly more confidence in Trump to tackle crime and corruption (38%). vs. 37%).
Considering these factors, it is noteworthy that in this poll, those who have not yet chosen their favorite candidate are leaning toward the Trump Restoration, and if forced to choose, they said they would prefer a Republican president. 50% of respondents chose Harris, while only 33% chose Harris.
