As the U.S. presidential election continues to be an ultra-close competition within the margin of error, Vice President Harris appears to have the upper hand in the issue of threat to democracy and former President Trump in the economy and immigration.

Last-minute competition for Latinos, traditional Democratic supporters, is also heating up after recent polls have confirmed their departure from the vote.

This time, a national poll showed that Vice President Harris is leading again.

According to a survey of 4,000 adults nationwide by Reuters and Ipsos by the 21st, Vice President Harris was 3 percentage points ahead of former President Trump with a 46 percent approval rating.

Again, it is difficult to predict the outcome by a slight margin within the margin of error.

On the other hand, the strengths of each candidate were clearly revealed.

Among the key issues, Vice President Harris is clearly ahead of democratic threat issues, while former President Trump has the upper hand in economy and immigration.

Vice President Harris has highlighted the risks of Trump's re-election this month in particular, highlighting why the American people did not choose Trump four years ago.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think it's very important for Donald Trump to acknowledge that he's not serious and say it publicly. If he becomes president of the United States again, the consequences are brutally serious.

Former President Trump highlights the economy and illegal immigration issues at every campaign stop.

[Donald Trump / Former President of the United States] We killed the shoots with the threat of tariffs alone. Apart from love and religion, tariffs are the most beautiful words.]

Two weeks before the presidential election, candidates have also been busy with polls showing that Latino voters are more supportive of former President Trump.

A day after the poll, former President Trump met with Latino voters at his golf course in Florida to appeal for support.

[Donald Trump / Former President of the United States] I just saw a poll that says we're ahead of Hispanic voters. It's never been like that. I don't know, but it's going to be close. Now she (Harris) is sleeping.]

Vice President Harris announced economic pledges aimed at Latino voters, including abolishing the terms of college degrees for federal jobs, and conducted interviews with Spanish-language broadcasters.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] Donald Trump has shown that he is a man who has succeeded in dividing us, the people of a country, and demeaning people. We have a lot more in common than we distinguish as Americans.

Recent polls have shaken the votes of traditional Democratic supporters, including Latinos as well as black men and unions, putting the situation at a disadvantage for Vice President Harris.

Therefore, it is expected that candidates from both sides will be more aggressive to secure their votes, especially in seven competing states.
