The election campaign in the US presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is starting without a clear lead for one or the other, according to a CNN poll released today after President Joseph Biden decided not to run for a second term.
Trump, while Biden was in the race, led over him by six points. After their TV duel on June 27, in which the aging head of state (81) lost his train of thought, there were numerous requests from his Democratic Party to withdraw from the presidential race.
Since he did it four days ago in favor of the country’s vice president, her starting position in relation to Trump is better than Biden’s – Trump enjoys the support of 49 percent of surveyed registered voters, and Harris 46 percent.
The poll shows that voters widely support Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race, but also to remain at the head of the state until the end of his term.
It can also be seen that the members of the Democratic Party and its sympathizers are very enthusiastic about the entry of Kamala Harris into the election race and that they are ready to rally around her as the new presumptive candidate of the Democrats for the presidential office in the elections scheduled for November.
On the other hand, they remain deeply divided over the course that Biden’s Democratic successor should take — to follow in his footsteps or to take a different path.
The survey, conducted online on July 22 and 23, included registered voters who had previously participated in CNN surveys in April and June. In both surveys, Trump led by six percentage points over Biden.
Trump became the presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Kamala Harris has yet to be formally confirmed as the candidate of the Democratic Party, but she already has enough support from the party’s delegates to make it official at the Democratic National Convention in August.
There are a little more than 100 days left until the election.
