Ben Pershing: 本次民调显示特朗普领先哈里斯两个百分点,这与八月份的民调结果相比发生了四个百分点的转变。造成这种变化的原因有两个:一是选民对特朗普过去总统表现的评价有所提高,二是选民对哈里斯的评价有所下降。特朗普在经济和移民问题上领先,而哈里斯在堕胎和领导气质方面领先。特朗普的竞选策略可能加剧了选民对哈里斯的负面评价。哈里斯获胜的关键在于激励民主党核心选民投票,特别是女性选民;而特朗普获胜的关键在于动员低投票率选民。民调结果存在误差,且全国民调结果与摇摆州的实际投票结果可能存在差异。 Luke Vargas: 报道了关于医疗保险公司获得巨额可疑家庭诊断费用的调查报告,以及波音公司工会罢工和特斯拉公司业绩强劲的消息。 John Holden: 波音公司工会成员对多年来做出的让步感到愤怒,并希望恢复养老金或获得替代方案,因此拒绝了新的劳资协议,罢工仍在继续。
