Article by sba/loc/news.de • 1 hour • 3 minutes reading time
Well, what's going on? Donald Trump and the US channel "Fox News" used to be a well-rehearsed team. But now the conservative channel has published a survey that Trump is unlikely to like at all. Is a serious relationship crisis looming?
Donald Trump loses his temper after new "Fox News" survey
Actually, Trump could always rely on the channel "Fox News", which did not shy away from publicly spreading the Republican's lies. The channel claimed several times that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from the then incumbent Trump. But with its latest surveys on the upcoming US election, the channel may not have done the 78-year-old too many favors. Instead, Donald Trump is likely to lose his temper because of the poor poll numbers that Fox News has now made public.
US election 2024: "Swing states" decide victory or defeat
The reason: These saw the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris just ahead of Trump. As the news site "rawstory.com" reports, Fox News sent nationwide polls to 1,000 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina. The polls were conducted after the Democratic National Convention and after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s support for Trump. The four swing states are considered particularly important for Trump and Harris in the US election campaign because they can decide victory or defeat. In concrete terms, this means that anyone who wants to become President of the USA must win the swing states.
What are swing states?
・The term "swing state" refers to a US state in which both the Democrats and the Republicans have a realistic chance of winning the election, so the outcome is open and unpredictable. The 2024 elections in the United States will take place on November 5th.
New poll sees Kamala Harris narrowly ahead of Donald Trump in three swing states
In fact, Kamala Harris is currently narrowly ahead of Donald Trump in three of the four swing states. That is at least what the latest Fox News poll shows. "Harris is one percentage point ahead in Arizona and two points ahead in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is one point ahead in North Carolina," according to Fox News.
Analyst warns: Trump should be "alarmed" - pressure on former US president is growing
Nevertheless, experts are already sounding the alarm. Trump should be "alarmed," explains political analyst and journalist Astead Herndon after the latest polls. "I think the trend line is so consistent that if you're not alarmed, there's probably something wrong," Herndon said. He added that Trump's campaign is "stumbling" because it hasn't been able to find a consistent attack that works against Harris. "What's happening here is that the Democrats have much greater potential and are now exploiting that because they have a candidate who can do it," Herndon said. "Donald Trump is now under political and financial pressure, largely of his own making, because he's not able to run the ground campaign he should have at this point."
