Beyoncé at Kamala Harris rally says ‘time for America to sing a new song’ – US politics live

Harris campaign says crowd of 30,000 is largest to date, while Trump is delayed for rally in swing-state Michigan

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied at 48%, according to a new poll by the New York Times and Siena College.

Published on Friday, the poll, the poll also revealed that 31% of registered voters view Trump as very favorable while 29% view Harris as very favorable.

Ms Harris’s position, if anything, may have declined among likely voters since the last Times/Siena College poll, taken in early October. At the time, she had a slight lead over Mr Trump, 49 percent to 46 percent. The change is within the margin of error, but The Times’s national polling average has registered a tightening in polls over the past few weeks as well, suggesting at the very least that this contest has drawn even closer.

“I don’t think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her so that’s good.”

“I think she is doing what she needs to do, and…a number of the voters who were at [the CNN] town hall have said she convinced them, that she had shown the kind of empathy and concern about their problems, that she had come forward with her ideas, her suggested policies. So, I think she’s doing what she needs to do.”
