USA: The results of the latest poll showed that Trump has a minimal advantage over Biden

A two-day survey completed today by Reuters and Ipsos showed that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has a minimal advantage among registered voters – 43 percent of support compared to 41 percent of current US President Joseph Biden.

Such research results indicate that the attempt to assassinate Trump did not cause a significant shift in voter attitudes, reports Reuters. However, after the assassination attempt on Trump, Americans expressed their fear that the situation in the US is getting out of control and that the elections on November 5 could cause more political violence.

As many as 80 percent of voters – a similar number among Democrats and Republicans – agreed with the statement that “the situation in the country is getting out of control.”

As many as 84 percent of voters in the survey expressed concern that extremists will carry out acts of violence after the election, which is an increase compared to the results of a Reuters and Ipsos survey conducted in May, which showed that 74 percent of voters had this fear.

Fears of political violence have become more pronounced in America after thousands of Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, trying to challenge Trump’s election loss to Biden.

The shooting and attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania recalled the turbulent political times of the 1960s and the assassination of Democratic President John F. Kennedy in 1963, followed by the assassination of his brother, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968. Kennedy.

The Reuters and Ipsos survey, conducted online, surveyed 1,202 adults across the US, including 992 registered voters.
