Poll on the presidential race

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate against former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. This choice aims to unify the Democratic Party, particularly its left wing, amidst concerns about Harris' approach to key issues, such as Israel's conflict with Hamas. Meanwhile, Trump holds a significant lead over Harris in economic polling, with a recent Wall Street Journal poll indicating a 12-point advantage for Trump among voters who believe they would fare better economically under him. Pollster Chris Wilson highlighted Trump's increased support among Hispanic voters, contrasting with the 2020 race where Biden and Harris had a lead. The political dynamics continue to shift as Harris solidifies her nomination and prepares for a challenging campaign season. Additionally, the lingering influence of cultural icons, like Ed Sullivan, is noted as a potential factor in how candidates connect with voters.
