Nate Cohn:最近的民调显示,特朗普在全国范围内以微弱优势领先哈里斯,这与几周前哈里斯领先的态势形成对比。哈里斯的支持率可能由于早期的高涨而有所回落,这为特朗普创造了机会。哈里斯作为"泛泛的民主党人"竞选的策略存在风险,因为这让她错失了在公众心目中更清晰地定义自己的机会,导致支持率回落。哈里斯在传统民主党支持者(年轻黑人和拉丁裔选民)中的表现虽然好于拜登,但仍未达到民主党通常的水平,因为这些选民表示对哈里斯了解不够。虽然哈里斯的支持率问题可能只是时间问题,但民调显示她尚未完全赢得这些选民的支持。特朗普在其核心支持者群体中获得了稳固的支持,而哈里斯仍在努力重建民主党联盟的部分地区。民主党选择相对自由、年轻、非白人候选人,导致其在一些对拜登有利的群体中支持率下降。选民对现状不满并寻求改变,而特朗普比哈里斯更能代表这种改变。选民将哈里斯与拜登政府的政策联系起来,并认为她对一些问题负有部分责任。民主党全国代表大会未能成功塑造哈里斯的形象,反而给了共和党定义她的机会。共和党成功地将哈里斯与拜登政府的政策联系起来,并将其描绘成过于左倾。相当一部分选民认为哈里斯过于自由或进步,但对特朗普的意识形态立场没有同样的顾虑。特朗普在经济等问题上的立场并非一贯保守,他试图争取中间派选民。选民认为特朗普能够更好地处理经济问题,这成为他的一个主要优势。尽管特朗普存在缺点,但哈里斯在堕胎和民主等问题上仍具优势,民主党也拥有更高的投票热情。哈里斯的策略需要从仅仅攻击特朗普转向清晰地阐明自身的立场和价值观。为了获胜,哈里斯最终需要将竞选焦点重新转向特朗普,让选民对特朗普做出判断。即将到来的辩论将决定竞选的焦点是哈里斯还是特朗普,这将影响哈里斯的胜算。 Sabrina Tavernisi:民调显示哈里斯的“蜜月期”可能已经结束,她的势头不再,而特朗普正在上升。
