With polls by the corner, no clear favorite candidate emerges

Washington, Nov 4 (Prensa Latina) With no clear edge in sight for either one of the two main presidential candidates so far, US citizens are gearing up for polls tomorrow, when the victor will finally come out.

Contenders Kamala Harris (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican) dedicated the last weekend before election day to launch personal campaigns in those swing or key states that, they said, will play a decisive role in their victory.

Both the Democratic and Republican teams say they have laid the groundwork for victory and their arguments are the right ones to claim victory.

According to the Harris campaign, her work on the ground has been most effective and said that more than 2,500 staffers and volunteers in swing states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada) have fostered a strong movement in favor of voting for their candidate.

Additionally, they believe that issues such as abortion, along with Harris’ favorability rating, which is several points higher than Trump’s in the Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ)/The Hill average of polls, will help launch her into the White House.

Trump’s campaign, in turn, is underpinned by voters’ criteria that the country is headed in the wrong direction, the cost of living, and generally the economy, The Hill noted.

Republicans point to Harris as a continuation of the Joe Biden administration, whose approval rating is underwater, the newspaper noted.

Historically, there is a perception that when an incumbent has a low approval rating (Biden has 40 percent), the opposing party prevails, an article in the newspaper specializing in political and congressional issues recalled.
