According to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll conducted nationwide and released today, Democratic Party candidate Camala Harris and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump both garner 48% of voter preferences for the November 5 US presidential election.
The result, which comes less than two weeks before Election Day and while millions of Americans have already voted, does not look encouraging for Kamala, according to the New York Times. In recent elections, Democrats had a lead in the popular vote, even as they were losing the Electoral College and thus the White House. They expected Harris to build a strong national lead as a sign that she would do well in critical states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Harris and Trump remain essentially tied even after three of the most tumultuous months in recent American political history. A high-profile debate, two assassination attempts on the Republican, dozens of rallies in seven battleground states and hundreds of millions spent on advertising appear to have done little to change the course of the race.
