    November 2024 Harvard Harris Poll Debrief

    The poll shows that Trump won over Harris by 2 points, driving the core issues of inflation and immigration most salient to the majority of Americans. Republicans closed in on the Democratic advantage of early and mail-in voting. Voters primarily relied on TV news channels for election coverage, followed by social media, and are split on whether coverage was biased. Looking ahead to the new administration, voters are divided on perceptions of Trump but want him to prioritize tackling inflation.

    Biden is in trouble as his job approval is not moving and people are unhappy with the economy. The cost of living has increased, and this is affecting voters' attitudes towards Biden. The economy and the border/immigration are key issues that are impacting Biden's popularity. The Israel-Hamas conflict has also affected his ratings. There is a significant number of swing voters who are still undecided. The presidential debates will be crucial for Biden to try and turn things around. The hush money trial in New York could have an impact on Trump's campaign. Middle-class voters are concerned about their quality of life and will play a crucial role in the election.
