Harris edges past Trump, gains key support from women

Just over a week before the November 5 elections, the Vice President is ahead of the former president in the ABC poll by 51 to 47 percent. The CBS survey shows similar results, with Harris leading 50 to 49 percent.

The battle for the White House remains intense. Both candidates travel across the United States to sway voters in the final stretch. Earlier public opinion research by ABC showed Harris a two-point lead over Trump, while CBS indicated a three-point advantage.

The polls reveal significant differences in support between women and men. In the ABC survey, Harris received the backing of 56 percent of women, while Trump garnered 42 percent. However, among men, Trump leads 45 percent, compared to Harris's 41 percent. The Vice President notably gained support among suburban women, achieving a 59—to 40% lead.

According to CBS News, 55 percent of women registered to vote support Harris, and 43 percent of men. Fifty-five percent of American women view her as a strong leader, while 45 percent disagree.

Opinions on Trump among women are evenly divided: Half see him as a strong president, while the other half disagree. Among men, Trump enjoys a lead of 54 to 45 percent. Sixty-four percent of men perceive him as a strong president, while 36 percent disagree.

Harris is more associated with prioritizing economic and reproductive matters, whereas Trump is seen as stronger on issues related to inflation and illegal immigration.

The United States media unanimously agrees that the presidential election's outcome depends on undecided voters in seven key states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. According to some forecasts, the decisive factor may be women's votes, especially in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
