When the votes are counted in the U.S. presidential election, the decisive factors could be the gender gap, the income gap, the Latino vote, or the media and marketing campaigns. CNBC senior economics reporter Steve Liesman recently engaged in a detailed discussion with four polling experts to analyze the data and assess which factors might sway the election in favor of either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.
The panel of experts comprised Steve Kornacki, NBC News national political correspondent; Mark Murray, NBC News senior political editor; Micah Roberts, partner at Public Opinion Strategies and CNBC’s Republican pollster; and Jay Campbell, partner at Hart Research and CNBC’s Democratic pollster. Their collective view suggested that while the economy is likely to play a significant role, other factors such as character, voter turnout, representation of change, candidate enthusiasm, and the decisions of persuadable voters will also be crucial in determining the election outcome.
