Democratic US Vice President Kamala Harris holds a marginal 46% to 43% lead over Republican former President Donald Trump in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll. The poll indicates that the electorate is generally pessimistic, with many believing the country is on the wrong track. The poll also reveals that US registered voters favor Trump on issues such as the economy and immigration, while Harris is preferred on abortion and protecting democracy. The race is extraordinarily tight with just two weeks left before the November 5 election. The competition is particularly fierce in battleground states, with both candidates making targeted appeals to Latino voters.
