The Trump campaign pollsters are content with the former president's current standing in national surveys. They emphasize that he has a track record of exceeding public opinion polls.

"In 2016, Donald Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton by an average of 5.9 points, while in 2020, Joe Biden was leading by 6.9 points, according to senior adviser Corey Lewandowski in a recent interview on "Planet Chronicle Sunday.""

The entry of Harris into the race has revitalized Democratic voters, who had low enthusiasm during Biden's re-election campaign.

Despite other polling showing less favorable results for Trump, he has shown improvement in his support among Hispanics in 2022.

Trump has a 42% to 37% edge over Harris among Hispanic voters on immigration policy, while 46% of the broader electorate prefers Trump over the 36% who supports Harris on this issue.

A poll shows that Hispanics, a rapidly expanding group in the US electorate, prefer Harris' approach to health care by 18 points and to climate change by 23 points, while on the economy, they prefer Trump's platform by 45% to 36%.

Nate Silver, a well-known election predictor, lowered Harris' chances of winning on Tuesday. He pointed out that Harris did not perform as well in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state with the most Electoral College votes.

Silver pointed out that Harris did not receive as much of a boost from the DNC as election models had predicted.
