Recent national polls reveal a tight race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris as they compete for the presidency in 2024.

Axar.az reports that a Fox News poll conducted between August 9-12 shows Trump leading Harris by a mere 1-point margin, with 50% support compared to Harris's 49% in a head-to-head scenario. This slim lead mirrors a similar result from the previous month when Trump led President Biden by the same margin before Biden withdrew from the race. The poll also highlights the performance of third-party candidates, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s support declining significantly, indicating a tightening race between the two major contenders.

Voter trust and priorities reflect the polarized nature of the electorate. Harris is seen as more trustworthy on issues such as climate change, healthcare, and uniting the country, while Trump is favored on border security, the economy, and foreign policy. The gender gap is pronounced, with men favoring Trump and women supporting Harris. Additionally, Harris has an edge in personal likeability and mental soundness, though Trump is viewed as a stronger leader. The economy remains the top priority for voters, with a significant number trusting Trump over Harris to handle economic issues.

Despite the high stakes, the race remains highly competitive and largely unchanged over recent months, even amidst significant political events and campaign activities. Both candidates show strong support within their respective parties, and their ability to engage independent and undecided voters could be crucial in determining the outcome. The poll also reveals a general dissatisfaction with the state of the country, with a significant portion of voters expressing concerns over political debate, economic conditions, and the overall direction of the nation.
