Recent polling shows that if the next presidential election were held today, President Donald Trump would secure strong backing from his supporters. An Emerson College survey found that 94% of Trump’s voters would choose him again, while 93% of Vice President Kamala Harris' voters would reaffirm their choice. This gives Trump a narrow one-point edge in the popular vote, with 48% favoring him compared to 47% for Harris.
