Vice President Kamala Harris is maintaining a lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump among Latino voters in key states Arizona and Nevada, according to exclusive USA Today/Suffolk University polls. Despite this lead, Harris is losing support among young Latino men. This comes as the 2024 election is shaping up to be a close race, with Harris being seen as a slight favorite.
Recent polls show Harris leading Trump in Virginia and Nevada, but the race remains tight. Polling in other states like Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas also shows close matchups. Hurricane Helene’s impact on voter turnout in North Carolina and Georgia could potentially affect the outcome in these swing states.
The campaigns of Harris and Trump have made strategic adjustments to their TV advertisements, focusing on key issues like abortion, immigration, and crime. Democrats are outspending Republicans on internet campaign ads, although Elon Musk’s platform X has seen a significant increase in political ad spending by accounts backing Republicans, notably Trump.
The Senate Republican spending is concentrated in certain races, leading to an uneven playing field in the battleground map. Both parties are making last-minute pushes to mobilize voters before Election Day, with Democrats launching billboards targeting the conservative blueprint for a second Trump presidency.
Overall, the 2024 election is shaping up to be a closely contested race with key battleground states and demographic groups playing a crucial role in determining the outcome.
