Donald Trump Vs. Kamala Harris In National Poll
This poll is a notable boost for Donald Trump, who has been actively campaigning and leveraging his strong pro-crypto stance to appeal to a broader voter base. Rasmussen Reports, known for their accurate predictions in the 2016 and 2020 elections, conducted the survey with a sample size of 1,885 likely voters.
However, despite this apparent lead, prediction markets such as Polymarket paint a different picture. On Polymarket, Harris is favored to win the election with a 51% probability, while Trump’s chances are pegged at 47%. This divergence between traditional polling and prediction markets highlights the uncertainty of the current political space.

He stated:
“Comrade Kamala Harris is terrible for our Country. She is a Communist, has always been a Communist, and will always be a Communist. Under her ‘leadership,’ the USA will fail, and fail quickly. We will not let that happen!!!”
On X, Donald Trump highlighted issues related to immigration, criticizing the Biden administration for a significant surge in illegal immigration. According to a chart shared by Trump, the number of illegal immigrants has increased to over 300,000 under Biden’s tenure.

Elon Musk In The Political Scene
Amid the ongoing political drama, tech billionaire Elon Musk has also entered the fray, adding his voice to the ongoing discourse. Musk has shown support for Donald Trump in the past, has been active on X. Moreover, Musk continues critizing Harris by spotlighting posts critical of the Democratic Party.
