Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump in the polls ahead of the 2024 U.S. election, showcasing strong support from Hispanic voters and record fundraising achievements. Discover how these factors may influence the upcoming election.


As the U.S. election approaches, Kamala Harris is gaining significant momentum against Donald Trump, leading in various polls and demonstrating a strong appeal among Hispanic voters. Polls from The Economist and YouGov indicate that Harris is ahead by 20 points among this demographic, a stark contrast to President Joe Biden's earlier struggles to connect with them. This shift is crucial as the Democratic Party aims to reclaim the White House following a challenging summer. Harris's campaign has also seen a remarkable fundraising surge, surpassing $540 million within a month of her candidacy announcement, marking a historic achievement in campaign finance. The Democratic convention in Chicago further energized her campaign, with a notable influx of donations from first-time contributors. However, despite these advantages, the upcoming election remains uncertain, echoing the 2016 election dynamics where Trump outperformed expectations in key swing states. Harris's team must remain vigilant as they prepare for the final stretch of the campaign, especially in states like Georgia, where Trump currently leads.

  • Harris's fundraising success is unprecedented, with a significant portion coming from grassroots supporters, showcasing a revitalized enthusiasm for the Democratic campaign. The campaign's ability to rally small donors has been a pivotal factor in this financial boost. Comparatively, Trump's campaign reported $327 million available, highlighting a financial disparity that could influence advertising strategies leading up to the election. The focus now shifts to the swing states, where Harris needs to solidify her lead to ensure a Democratic victory. Historical precedents remind us that polling leads do not guarantee electoral success, making strategic campaigning in these battlegrounds essential.
