According to the latest Multibagger/Ipsos poll, Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Republican Donald Trump 47% to 42% in the race for the Nov. 5 presidential election. This comes after a debate where Harris was perceived by voters to have emerged as the winner.
The two-day poll revealed Harris with a five percentage point lead among registered voters, a slight increase from her previous four-point advantage over Trump in an earlier poll.
Among those who were aware of the debate, 53% believed Harris won while only 24% thought Trump did. Additionally, 52% of respondents felt Trump appeared stumbling and not sharp, in contrast to 21% who said the same about Harris.
Harris, 59, took a strong stance against Trump, 78, in the debate, questioning his fitness for office and his legal troubles.
The poll surveyed 1,690 U.S. adults, including 1,405 registered voters, with a margin of error of around three percentage points for registered voters.
While national polls provide insight into voter sentiment, the ultimate outcome of the election will be determined by the Electoral College results in key battleground states.
Analysis:
The latest poll results indicate a lead for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. This could have significant implications for financial markets and investments, as changes in political leadership often lead to shifts in economic policies and market sentiment. Investors should closely monitor the election developments and consider adjusting their portfolios accordingly to mitigate risks and capitalize on potential opportunities.
