Polls reveal divided electorate and low voter optimism ahead of 2024 election

Polls for the 2024 presidential election show a divided electorate with no clear frontrunner. Voter pessimism is high, with many believing the country is on the wrong track. President Biden's approval ratings remain low, impacting Democratic support. Economic issues are a top concern for voters, more so than in previous elections. There is a stark divide in priorities between Trump and Harris supporters, with Republicans focusing on the economy and security, while Democrats prioritize democracy and social issues. Recent polling highlights significant differences in values between the two candidate's supporters. Trump backers emphasize gun rights and a tough justice system, while Harris supporters stress the impact of slavery and the importance of diversity.
