Donald Trump makes effort to appeal to Hispanic voters in Florida
In a recent exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, it was found that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tight race as they approach the final stretch of the presidential campaign. The poll revealed that Harris holds a slight lead over Trump, with 45% of likely voters supporting her compared to Trump’s 44%. This is a significant shift from August when Harris led Trump by 5 percentage points.
One voter, Jacob Rossow, a 24-year-old college student from Oklahoma City, expressed his dilemma in choosing between the two candidates. Ultimately, he decided to vote for Trump because he felt that Trump was clearer on his policies and plans for the country compared to Harris.
The poll also highlighted that Harris has lost ground among Latino voters, with Trump now leading among this demographic. However, Harris still maintains a strong lead among Black voters, although it has decreased from previous levels of support for Democrats.
The candidates’ standings are also influenced by gender, with Trump leading among men and Harris leading among women. Harris is seen as the candidate who would bring about change and heal the nation’s political divisions, while Trump is perceived as a stronger leader and more trusted on handling the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
Overall, the poll reflects a divided electorate with concerns about the country’s direction. While some voters, like Erin Parker from Oregon, support Harris for her policies and vision for the country, others, like Pamela Anderson from Alabama, believe that Trump’s focus on the economy is crucial for struggling Americans.
As the election approaches, both candidates are making efforts to appeal to key demographics, with Harris targeting Latino and Black voters through specific economic agendas and Trump focusing on the economy and crime to attract Hispanic and Black voters, especially men.
The outcome of the election remains uncertain, with voters expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the country and differing opinions on which candidate is best suited to lead the nation forward.
