Virtual tie in the polls but worrying indicators for Democrats

Two weeks before the presidential election in this country, the slim lead of Democratic candidate <a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/donald-trump-whats-behind-the-us-presidents-baltimore-attack/" title="Donald Trump: What's behind the US President's Baltimore attack”>Kamala Harris over Republican Donald Trump in the polls has been reduced to less than 1 percent in the seven states that determineánd the national result, with particularly worrying indicators in the erosion of support for Democrats among key Latino, Afro-American and Arab-American sectors.
These days, both candidates dedicated time and resources to the Latino sector of the electorate.

This Tuesday Trump continuous offering increasingly chaotic speeches, this time at a forum with Latino leaders in one of his hotels in Miami, where he declared that if Harris wins it will be the end of democracy and that the United States will look like “Venezuela on steroids,” and ended reiterating that he enjoyed a loving relationship with Latinos during his presidency – “I love them, and they love me.”

The campaign of Harris issued a series of economic proposals dedicated to Latino men that promise to “reduce costs, increase housing, expand employment opportunities and ensure that Latino men and their families can achieve their aspirations and achieve their american dream”. On Wednesday she will be interviewed by the national Spanish channel Telemundo.

But his message so far does not seem to have great results. A national survey issued by USA Today It is the first poll to suggest that Trump is leading among Latinos by a wide margin of 49 percent to 38 percent, although other polls continue to show a substantially larger margin for Harris in this sector. However, the level of support among Latinos for Harris remains below what was achieved by Joe Biden and before that by Barack Obama. The Latino vote could be decisive in some of the seven key states including Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.

Trump has managed to gain an unexpected level of support not only among Latino and African-American men, largely around economic issues.

Furthermore, a new Arab News/YouGov poll suggests that Trump is winning among Arab Americans, indicating the political costs of the Biden and Harris administration’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza, especially in the key state of Michigan ( with the country’s largest Arab-American population) where the election could be determined by a few thousand votes, Al Jazeera reported.

Another bad news for the Democratic candidate, who is also the vice president in the government of Biden, is that a Gallup poll this month recorded that more than half of Americans (52 percent) say that they and their families are in worse economic conditions than four years ago – that is, during the Democratic government in power – and 39 percent think it is better. That’s the highest level of those who say they are worse off since 1992, Gallup reported.

Meanwhile, Trump was criticized by the daughter of the late professional golf star Arnold Palmer for comments in which he referred to the size of the golfer’s penis – not the first time the former president expressed his apparent admiration.

At the same time, survivors of sexual violence and allies published a full-page spread in the New York Times on Monday to remind the public that a court found Trump liable for sexual abuse – “he is a proven abuser. It is not a matter of opinion; It is a fact.” They conclude: “We will not accept this, we demand better.” The ad is signed by more than 100 people, including actress Viola Davis, domestic workers union leader AI-Jen Poo and former Cecile Richards. chairwoman from the women’s health organization Planned Parenthood, among others.
