Kamala Harris made headlines with her visit to the border and speech on her economic vision at the end of September, according to a new survey by The Breakthrough. However, concerning data trends may pose challenges for her campaign.
The survey revealed a decline in positive mentions of Harris since her debate with Donald Trump, with an increase in negative descriptions. Words like “lie” have been associated with her, indicating a shift in public perception.
Despite some negativity, Harris has seen a boost in attention for her focus on immigration and the economy. Her efforts to address these issues seem to resonate with voters.
In comparison, Trump’s recent activities, including assassination attempts against him and meetings with foreign leaders, have influenced public opinion, with persistent mentions of him being labeled a “liar.”
Overall, the survey reflects a decrease in attention towards both candidates compared to previous election cycles, possibly due to timing. The coming weeks will be crucial for Harris and Trump as they navigate public sentiment and campaign strategies.
