Key issues influencing voting in tightest US presidential election

The upcoming 2024 US presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is shaping up to be a tight race, with several key issues influencing voters’ decisions. While party affiliation often plays a major role in American elections, there are other pressing issues at hand that could sway voters one way or the other.

According to recent opinion polls, the economy is a top concern for 41% of respondents, with inflation rates being a significant factor. Both candidates have pledged to address high prices, with Trump promising to lower prices and Harris advocating for a federal ban on price gouging.

Protecting democracy is another crucial issue, especially in light of the events surrounding the 2016 and 2020 elections. Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 insurrection have raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. With 21% of voters prioritizing the protection of democracy, the candidates’ stances on this issue will be closely scrutinized.

Immigration policy is a key issue for 12% of voters, with the US-Mexico border remaining a contentious topic. Trump has vowed to ramp up deportation efforts and expand the border wall, while Harris is expected to take a more compassionate approach to immigration reform.

Foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, is also a significant concern for American voters. The ongoing conflict in Gaza and Iran’s escalating tensions with Israel are issues that both candidates will need to address. With Michigan being a battleground state with a large Arab American population, the candidates’ positions on Middle East policy could sway voters in this key state.

Overall, the 2024 US presidential election is shaping up to be a closely contested race, with voters paying close attention to a range of issues beyond party lines. As Americans head to the polls on Election Day, the candidates’ positions on the economy, democracy, immigration, and foreign policy will be crucial factors in determining the outcome of this historic election.
