In a recent Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump has taken a slight lead over Kamala Harris, positioned at approximately two percentage points higher. This shift comes just weeks before the election, showcasing Trump's increased momentum as he appeals to voters' sentiments about his presidency. The poll indicates that Trump has garnered his best approval ratings since leaving office, currently resting at 52%. Key issues driving this shift include immigration, economy, and crime, where Trump establishes a more favorable perception among voters compared to Harris. Many voters expressed nostalgia for Trump's presidency, believing they were better off during his tenure. Conversely, Harris is grappling with declining approval ratings and struggles to articulate her own agenda distinct from President Biden, which Trump’s campaign has strategically exploited. Notably, the issue of abortion remains a stronghold for Harris, where she leads Trump. The poll has raised questions about which candidate is perceived as a 'change agent' with Trump receiving the majority support. As the election nears, the battle for undecided voters intensifies, with each candidate deploying their strategies in hopes to sway this critical demographic.
