On November 4 local time, the National Public Radio (NPR), Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and Marist Poll released a "closure poll" that skyrocketed the excitement index! The data shows that Democratic presidential candidate Harris leads Trump by 4 percentage points—Harris at 51% and Trump at 47%, just exceeding the 3.5% margin of error. The familiar script from four years ago is back: in 2020, Biden and Trump also had support rates of 51% to 47%, with Trump trailing by 4 percentage points!
This "high-energy remake" election gives the onlookers a sense of déjà vu, as if watching "American Election 2.0—new plot, but the gap remains unchanged." We're just waiting for the director to shout 'Action,' and who knows, there might be more plot twists. With the gap again at a familiar 4%, viewers are simultaneously complaining 'Is this script falling apart?' while getting their seats ready to watch the final outcome of this 'high-suspense electoral drama.' Will it have unexpected turns like four years ago? Will this 4 percentage points create another miracle? The American people can no longer sit still; they are ready with sunflower seeds and popcorn, waiting for the answer!
