WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris led Republican Donald Trump by a marginal three percentage points - 46% to 43% - as the two remain locked in a close race to win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The four-day poll completed on Monday showed Trump, who had trailed Harris by six points in a Sept 20-23 Reuters/Ipsos poll, was the preferred candidate for a range of economic issues and that some voters might be swayed by his claims that immigrants in the country illegally are prone to crime, assertions that have been largely discredited by academics and think tanks.
The poll had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
Respondents rated the economy as the top issue facing the country, and some 44% said Trump had the better approach on addressing the "cost of living," compared to 38% who picked Harris.
Among a range of economic issues the next president should address, some 70% of respondents said the cost of living would be the most important, with only tiny shares picking the job market, taxes or "leaving me better off financially." Trump had more support than Harris in each of those areas as well, although voters by a margin of 42% to 35% thought Harris was the better candidate to address the gap between wealthy and average Americans.
Trump appeared buoyed by widespread concerns over immigration, currently at its highest level in America in over a century. Some 53% of voters in the poll said they agreed with a statement that "immigrants who are in the country illegally are a danger to public safety," compared to 41% who disagreed. Voters had been more closely divided on the question in a May Reuters/Ipsos poll, when 45% agreed and 46% disagreed.
At campaign rallies all year, Trump has called attention to crimes committed by immigrants in the country illegally. While there is little data about the immigration status of criminals, studies have generally found that immigrants are not more likely than native-born Americans to engage in criminality.
Harris has led Trump in each of the six Reuters/Ipsos polls on their matchup since she entered the race in late July. The latest poll showed Harris up two percentage points - 47% to 45% - among the voters who appeared most likely to cast ballots in November. About two-thirds of eligible voters turned out in the 2020 presidential election, according to an estimate by the Pew Research Center.
Voters trusted the mental acuity of Harris above that of Trump in the latest poll, with 55% agreeing with a statement that she was "mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges," compared to 46% who said the same of Trump.
While national surveys including Reuters/Ipsos polls give important signals on the views of the electorate, the state-by-state results of the Electoral College determine the winner, with seven battleground states likely to be decisive. Polls have shown Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in those battleground states, with many results within the margins of error.
Harris entered the race after Democratic President Joe Biden ended his reelection effort following a poor debate performance against Trump in June. Trump at the time was widely seen as the front-runner, partly based on his perceived strength on the economy after several years of high inflation under the Biden administration.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,272 U.S. adults online, nationwide, including 1,076 registered voters. Among these, 969 were considered the most likely to turn out on Election Day.
@DC_Dude
WTF???!?!?!?
Yeah I think the people who talk about illegal immigrants live in places where immigrants don't exist. The few bad characters don't represent the majority of immigrants atleast from my experience.
60 minutes is liberal government propaganda like 90% of the mainstream media. They parroted the "Russian disinformation" lie about the Hunter Biden laptop just like the government wanted the media to do. Why would Trump do another debate on the biased liberal news? He's already done two. Why won't Kamala do a debate on fox news? Why is she so desperate for another debate?Yeah that's the reason
What's your excuse for Trump refusing to do another debate?
So do you think 60 minutes is not a legitimate news source?
I agree with you, it is so hard to find trust worthy news sources these days.
Can you list some sites where I can get some real unbiased news?
Yeah that's the reason
What's your excuse for Trump refusing to do another debate?
So do you think 60 minutes is not a legitimate news source?
Any idiot saying 60 minutes is not a legit new source would probably say the Congressional Budget Office is not a legit independent agency.
Let's do simple math. Biden/Harris has let in at minimum 10 million illegals since they've been in office. Let's say 90% are great, salt of the earth types who are just wonderful people. We know damn well it ain't 90%, but let's just pretend it is. That would mean at least 1 million criminals or potential criminals have been let into the country. Why would your government do that to it's citizens?
You don't want unbiased news. You want the liberal propaganda that is soothing to your ears.
Why did they lie about the Hunter Biden laptop?
So you are gate keeping where I can get real unbiased news?
You don't want it. Keep watching 60 minutes.
The senator’s suggestion comes as Fox News renewed its invitation to both Trump and Harris for a debate on the network in October. Following Tuesday’s event, the Harris campaign promptly called for another debate between the two contenders.
Trump, who for months has called for a debate on Fox, was noncommittal when asked in an interview about another forum with the vice president.
Whenever he moves his hands like that he's making shit up in his head.
It could for the 1 issue voters if they whole heartly feel that strong about illegal immigrants. It's sad, but I still firmly believe what I've said all along, Trump isn't going to win and this is all a money grab for him....
And for those adament about illegal immigrants, he wins, and does whatever needs to be done regarding that issue, don't get mad when all the other things you have are wiped away esp. in rural america.....
I've said this several times, the ripple effect that will happen if the ACA gets destroyed and Medicare gets privatize will be some of the craziest shit we will ever see in this country....
so keep watching the most watched news program in the country? One would think if you are running for president you would want to be interviewed where most people would be able to see you speak.
Why didn't she accept the Fox debate when offered? Why is she so desperate for another debate? Didn't she "win" the last one? If I were Trump I wouldn't bother with another debate. He's in a good position already.
She did accept the fox debate. Why would Trump not want to debate the DEI unqualified not smart Harris?
The most watched news programs in the country are " The Five" and Jesse Watters show on Fox. Get out of your liberal bubble.
Then why didn't the debate happen? When did she accept?
Ok it seems you are warming up to me and not gate keeping your news sources.
So the five on fox news is where I can get real unbiased news.
Anywhere else? I am taking notes because I want to stop being a liberal sheep.
ALL THIS
I sadly don't have your confidence
Trump, who for months has called for a debate on Fox, was noncommittal when asked in an interview about another forum with the vice president.
I'm not recommending news sources, just pointing out that 60 minutes is not the most watched news program. It's too late for you. You've been completely compromised. Just keep watching corporate media.
Basically. They had an open convention process, and nobody stepped up to contest things there (or at least not in a volume that would change the results). Plus, as she noted, she has been on the ticket and in office. This idea that she came out of nowhere is honestly a silly pursuit.
I didn't read anything about Kamala accepting the debate. Did I miss it?
It's irrelevant, but Fox News is not even a legit news source. In their lawsuit, they stated they are an entertainment entity so they can do and say whatever they want.....
Hell TMZ is probably more credible than they are....
No, he is right earlier last month. I had his same thought but now especially with Trump been showing his ass lately. He’s going nowhere near that White House. Kamala believe it or not is actually starting to do a little better with Republicans.
bookmarked
If he wins.. I trying to hear no plea copping or excuses.
It should be the final nail in the coffin to all this polling stuff and social media commentary.
Harris campaign promptly called for another debate between the two contenders.
same link
MSNBC claimed the exact same thing when they were sued.
This roblo dude is just making excuses after excuses, I'm surprised he has not brought up Hillary's emails.
I didn't read that she accepted a debate on Fox. Did I miss it?
Are you implying she refuses to debate Trump on fox?
