At the moment, Kamala Harris has a slight advantage over perhaps the most controversial president America has had, that is Donald Trump, in the upcoming general election; The main considerations of the citizens – in the economic and political view, make it difficult for them to be neutral. In case the present trends continue, the current crop of presidential aspirants, however, are not likely to have reason to celebrate.

Harris leads Trump as voter pessimism shapes the race

Also, Kamala Harris is now marginally ahead of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential poll. Yet, this almost impractical victory is being claimed during a sore period in which many voters are caught in the web of pessimism concerning the state of the economic and political affairs of the country. In a situation where the key issue is the escalated cost of living and Congress can hardly even breathe in the already dehydrated capital, voters are facing a situation which requires them to choose between two equally sharply contrasting candidates.

Finally, the lead with which Kamala Harris is ahead further crystallizes the polarization in the electorate. A significant proportion of the voters are still uncommitted having been attracted by such concerns as the cost of living, health care availability, and the general economic situation. Kamala has earned the Democrats approval ratings, but the appeal is subject to fluctuations as long as Trump manages to marshal supporters by availing the economic promised reforms as well as over-the-top anti-incumbency agendas.

Public opinion is affected by the probable state of the economy One of the most significant elements that affects the outcomes of an election is the amount of pessimism toward the economy. The increasing cost-of-living indexed to the insufficient income and the sense of Job insecurity many Americans are experiencing; have made them financially vulnerable. Both candidates are expected to present solutions to these problems though as at now the economic ideologies of appeal to a greater number of the masses are not in place.

Harris, while seated as the current Vice President, has tried to pick from the gains of the current regime, specifically in employment and social services provision related issues, which are her signature governance agenda. However, sky rocketing prices and the fact that the economy is not growing uniformly has complicated matters for her in convincing the jury. On the other hand, Trump’s focus have been more institution-based, with him casting subsequent Biden-Harris administration as spoiloplayers in the enormous sense inflation fight commitment of any candidate conversant with the American public expectations and the state of the nation.

In the final stages of an election campaign, it has left all too obvious, which of the two, the current President or the Former one can work out an approach to convincing those electors of the American economy that are more logical in their decisions. Since both teams know that the level of political frustration is now higher than ever before, both are also expected to intensify their messages about employment, inflation, and tax laws. Pushing towards the shrinking voter group lacking faith in the system should see increased focus on issues on jobs, inflation, and tax laws on both sides of the divide.

Political division and voter disillusionment

Each era in American history, political division has served to deepen the disappointment of the voters besides economy. This became possible, for instance, because of Trump and Harris who are the spreaders of such divisive ideas with precision. And, in fact, voters at the moment can only choose between two candidates, neither of whom they find acceptable. Harris is precariously ahead in proportions that many feel are saving given the percentage of voters expressed reservations and might be inclined to vote for third party.

It does not end there as it has been noted that some of the voters are still in favor of the old president because of the can like messages of making America great, what is colloquial understood as draining the so-called swamp. Nonetheless, the proposed return is perceived as a threat by a large part of the electorate, with open minded citizens, in particular, feeling weariness towards an approach like that of Donald. However, although Harris is referred to as an effective leader, even on a personal level, the baggage of the current administration is pulling her down and is a problem from both the left and the right.

Closing the gap in due course, this may become a war of attrition and turnout by those who feel that politicians in power now fail to represent their interests. Harris has to galvanize the public’s numbed qualifies and reforms and likewise Trump has to court more than just his ardent supporters. There is a high probability that the ultimate determining factor in the contest for the occupant of the oval office will be the behaviour of the U.S. economy during its dying months before the polling day.

Looking at both sides of the coin, the contestants have an uphill task given the economic and other current issues as far as electioneering is concerned. The future is rather uncertain as the election day draws near, the electorate is rather divided and the most pressing issues continue to remain unresolved.
