With just under 24 hours until Election Day, the contrast between the two campaigns – and the mood of their employees – couldn’t be more clear.
Kamala Harris, who just a few weeks ago appeared to have run out of the momentum she’d quickly gathered after president Joe Biden ceded the Democratic ticket to her this past July, is surging thanks to a series of late-game missteps by Donald Trump and his allies. Those missteps include the disastrous decision to include a comedian who called Puerto Rico an “island of floating garbage” in the lineup at Mr Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally just over a week ago.
On Saturday, renowned pollster Ann Selzer released her annual survey of Iowa voters which showed Harris with a three-point lead, 47 per cent to 44 per cent, in the Hawkeye State based on an incredibly strong showing with female voters. Ms Harris, who’d trailed Mr Trump by a four-point margin among Iowans in September, had also inherited a whopping 18-point deficit when she took over the Democratic nomination from Biden.
Another national poll released by NPR and Marist College yesterday showed Ms Harris garnering support from 51 per cent of respondents, compared with Mr Trump’s 47 per cent – a lead greater than the survey’s 3.5-point margin of error. And the final NBC News poll of the election cycle showed him haemorrhaging support from Black and Latino voters, while she was shown to be garnering support from 87 per cent of Black voters.
