The US presidential election is only two weeks away. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is ahead of Republican candidate Donald Trump in national polls, However, in key swing states, the results of both polls are very close. News from bdnews.
This year’s election was initially supposed to be a repeat of 2020 in terms of candidacy. However, in July, President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the election and endorsed the candidacy of his vice president, Kamala Harris. Now the big question in the public mind–Will the US get its first female president or Donald Trump for the second time??
Who is leading in the national election polls?? : According to the BBC, Harris has been slightly ahead of Trump in national polling averages since entering the race in late July. Kamala Harris’s public support skyrocketed in the first few weeks of her campaign. At the end of August, he was leading with about four percent more popular support. Even after the September 10 debate between the two candidates, the poll margin remained relatively stable till September. But if we consider the polls of the last few days, it can be seen that there is going to be a tough fight between them.
Looking at such national polls, one can understand the overall popularity of a candidate across the country, But while polls are a measure of popularity, they are not an accurate way of predicting election results. Because the United States uses an Electoral College system to elect presidents. In the United States presidential election, voters elect a group of officials by casting their ballots, They are called Electors. These electors play the role of selectors. The electors of a state are collectively called the Electoral College. There are 51 Electoral Colleges in the country including 50 states and the capital Washington DC. The Electoral College is the official authority in the election of the President and Vice President of the United States.
