Kamala Harris beats Trump in US polls

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is 3.2 percentage points ahead of Republican rival Donald Trump in an average of polls released today.

According to The Hill/DDHQ summary, Vice President Harris had 49.2% support, while former President Trump had 46%.

Analysts say a democracy’s popularity rating remains a key aspect of its political viability, which has the potential to galvanize support in its current presidential campaign.

Harris closed the Democratic National Convention last night with a call to leave the divisions and bitterness of the past behind.This was during a speech in which he officially accepted his party’s nomination.

In front of a packed United Center, a 23,500-seat multi-sports venue in Chicago, he delivered what may have been the most important speech of his career.

The candidate acknowledged the political career of President Joe Biden, who on July 21 abandoned his re-election bid, and supported her.

He also presented a clear agenda with a proposal that seeks unity amid the country’s strong political polarization.

He did not shy away from controversial topics such as the economy, immigration, reproductive rights and foreign policy, and he referred to the conflict in Ukraine and the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Although he reiterated his support for Tel Aviv, he called for a ceasefire, said the suffering must stop, and at one point suggested that the Palestinians were capable of demanding their rights to freedom, security and self-determination.

In his speech, he also criticized Trump, describing him as a “not serious man” and warned of the disastrous consequences of his election for a second term.

Kamala Harris has become the first woman of Indian and Jamaican descent to be nominated by one of the two traditional parties in the United States, which rotate the keys to the White House every four years.
