https://www.axios.com/2024/10/11/harris ... oters-2024With just weeks to go until the presidential election, the results could come down to a mere 13% of undecided voters, according to a new report released Thursday from Pew Research Center. The poll results underscore just how tight the race between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will be and how small the faction of voters still up for grabs is. According to the poll, 82% of voters are already certain about which candidate they will vote for, with 42% saying they will support Harris and 40% indicating they will support Trump. 5% of voters say they will vote for a third-party candidate.
That leaves 13% who are uncertain about which candidate they will vote for. Among that 13% of voters, 8% say they have a preference for one of the candidates but could still change their minds — with the group being evenly split between support for Harris (4%) and Trump (4%). The other 5% of the undecided group say they only lean towards one of the two main party candidates — 3% lean towards Harris and 2% lean Trump. Both Trump and Harris have expended considerable energy trying to win over undecided voters.
Much of Trump's strategy this summer — including editing the GOP platform — has been geared towards persuading undecided or unsure voters to support him. Harris rolled out a new policy proposal earlier this week targeting the "sandwich generation" of Americans caring for elders and children — a group that contains a high proportion of undecided voters.
