Recent ratings of the 2024 presidential candidates personal qualities show Vice President Kamala Harris with a strong advantage over former President Donald Trump in U.S. voter perceptions of being likable, while holding smaller leads for having strong moral character and being honest and trustworthy. Trump outpaces Harris in perceptions of being a strong and decisive leader and being able to get things done.
Despite this clear image distinction -- Harris credited with character, Trump with leadership -- neither candidate has a perceptual edge in voters beliefs that each possesses five other presidential competencies: managing the government effectively, displaying good judgment in a crisis, having a vision for the countrys future, caring about the needs of people, and being someone people would be proud to have as president.
These findings are from a Sept. 16-28 Gallup survey, conducted after the Sept. 10 presidential debate that gave Americans their one opportunity of the campaign to see the candidates interact.
Perceptions of Trump are similar to what Gallup found at the same time in 2020, except voters are now slightly more likely to believe he would display good judgment in a crisis, up six percentage points to 52%.
Poster Comment:
2024 is an election between Globalists and Nationalists. This survey was taken before Kamala began sliding in the polls. The momentum has gone against her. Democrat politicians are panicking.
