| “With ten days until Election Day, the national poll finds a divided electorate,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “In this poll, independents report breaking for Trump 49% to 46% — a reversal from 2020, where they reported voting for Biden by about ten points.”
“Male voters are breaking for Trump by 13 points, 55% to 42%, a larger margin than in 2020, while women break for Harris by ten points, 54% to 44%, underperforming Biden’s support in 2020,” Kimball added.
When asked when they made up their mind for president, 80% have made up their mind over a month ago, 10% in the past month, 7% in the past week, and 4% have not made up their mind yet.
- 62% of voters under 30 made up their mind over a month ago, while 20% made up their mind in the past month, 12% in the past week, and 5% have not made up their mind.
Regardless of whom they will vote for, 50% think Trump will win the election and 49% think Harris will win the election.
Over half of likely voters (53%) disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president, while 41% approve.
