Donald Trump's impact on US Polls 2024: Navigating fake news, policy shifts, and voter sentiment
Live MintDespite facing backlash for dubious claims and policy shifts, Donald Trump's rhetoric hasn't changed polling results. US Presidential candidate Donald Trump has found himself repeatedly under fire in recent weeks for peddling baseless rumours, changing his policy stances or even issuing questionable jibes against his rival. With a mere six weeks left until Election Day both Trump and Kamala Harris remain locked in an unusually close race — with neither candidate managing to secure an advantage of five points or more till date. The ‘closest US election in nearly a century’ may ultimately come down to how many disaffected suburban Republicans vote for Harris and how much of Democrats’ traditional base migrates to Trump. In September alone, Trump has falsely accused immigrants of eating their neighbours' pets, warned Jewish voters that they would be responsible if he lost the polls and blamed Kamala Harris and Democrats for ‘inviting’ or instigating two assassination attempts against him.
