For the first time since the Eisenhower and Stevenson election in 1956, the United States will experience a presidential election rematch, this time between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, two of the most disliked candidates in recent times. Who will be victorious once all the votes are tabulated remains to be seen.
During a live event held last week, Cliff Young, the lead pollster at Ipsos US, and Hugh Linehan came together to delve into the key issues that have thus far shaped the presidential race. Critical questions such as; why are the poll ratings for Joe Biden so subpar? Why have sizable numbers of traditional Democratic minority voters suddenly started leaning towards the Republican camp? And in spite of his legal troubles, does Donald Trump’s anti-establishment position still carry weight?
Addressing the issues that top the list for US constituents, Cliff sheds light on the economy, particularly inflation, and its negative effects on the election equation. The question then arises – can any significant alterations be made to this situation before election day? This broadcast was organized by Declan Conlon.
