US Presidential Election Survey: There are not even 100 days left for the presidential election in America. The war of words between Republican candidate Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris has changed the landscape of America. While the attention of the entire world along with American citizens is on Donald Trump's return to power, on the other hand, the focus is also on whether a woman will get a chance to become president for the first time in the history of America. However, as a female vice president, Kamala Harris has achieved a special place in American history. Now speculations are being made about her victory in the presidential election. Her party is also ready to appoint a black woman to the highest post. But before that, the Republican candidate has turned the election into American versus non-American by attacking Kamala Harris's racial identity.
The US presidential election presents its own example of democracy to the whole world. Here the vote bank of citizens of Asian and African origin including Indians is very important. If we look at the figures, the Indian American population has increased by about 150 percent since the year 2000. About 5 million people of Indian origin live in America. Politically, Indian Americans are strongly associated with the Democratic Party. In the last election, 72 percent of Indian American voters voted for Joe Biden while only 22 percent voted for Trump.
Trump called Kamala 'black'
Indian origin is also an important issue in the 2024 US presidential election, which Donald Trump has given a new twist to the election. Donald Trump made a racist comment about Kamala Harris, after which Kamala Harris also responded. Regarding Kamala Harris's candidature, Trump said that the American people are far better than him. That is, Trump raised the issue of foreign origin while furthering American nationalism. Kamala had earlier described herself as of 'Indian' origin. And suddenly a few years ago she started presenting herself as 'black'.
Kamala called Trump an 'extremist'
Kamala Harris has also given a befitting reply to Donald Trump's attack. Kamala Harris described Trump as conservative, past-lover and racist. She said that there are two types of thoughts in America these days. One is associated with a futuristic agenda and the other is extremist who only looks towards the past. Kamala said that today America needs a leader who speaks the truth, reduces hostility, sees collective power as a source of energy and does not promote divisive mentality. Americans understand this difference very well. And in the elections, the public will think and vote on this issue.
What does the latest US election survey say?
Kamala Harris has not yet been declared the official candidate from the Democrats, although everyone from current President Joe Biden to former President Barack Obama has supported Kamala's candidature. She is also popular. She is popular among Americans as well as citizens of Asian and African origin. And is considered a strong female representative. That is why most of the surveys so far are being conducted in the name of Kamala vs Trump.
According to a survey conducted three days ago, Kamala Harris is two percent ahead of Donald Trump in terms of popularity. 42 percent people chose Trump while 44 percent people chose Kamala Harris. It is estimated that this difference may increase further after the official announcement of Kamala's candidature. Kamala is moving ahead rapidly.
Other survey data also shows that Joe Biden has taken the right decision at the right time by defeating Kamala Harris. Kamala has taken a lead of 3 percent in the Laser Poll. She is ahead by 1 percent in the Civic Poll and 4 percent in the YouGov Survey. However, in the other two surveys, Trump is ahead of Kamala by 2 percentage points. That is, the competition between the two is becoming a close contest.
Whose choice is Indian American?
The way Kamala Harris has distanced herself from the Indian identity is causing some disappointment and even resentment in the Indian-origin community. But the survey shows that despite this, Kamala Harris has tried to unite as many Indian Americans as possible. This unity can bring a positive message for her. Even during her candidacy for the post of Vice President, a large section of the Indian American community stood as her supporter. Not only Indians, but a large section of American citizens of Asian and African origin dislike the Republican Party. According to them, Republicans are somewhat anti-minority.
In fact, former President Donald Trump's image is that of an aggressive leader. Most Americans believe that America has done a lot of harm to itself by showing aggression in the last two decades. America today needs a leader who can protect our present as well as our future. This approach also holds special importance in the 2024 presidential election.
