Trump Takes National Lead in Wall Street Journal Poll

In a shocking turn of events, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows Donald Trump leading Democrat Kamala Harris by historic margins, signaling a potential Republican sweep that could not only return Trump to the White House but also hand the GOP control of Congress for years to come.


In a stunning development just days before the election, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows Donald Trump holding a historic lead over Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Trump, who has consistently dominated headlines throughout the campaign, now enjoys a significant edge both nationally and in key battleground states, raising the real possibility that he could win not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote—a combination that would be disastrous for Democrats down the ballot.


The prospect of a Trump victory is reshaping political calculations across the country. For Senate Democrats, who are already facing a difficult map, this could be a nightmare scenario. With Republicans heavily favored to retain control of the Senate, some political strategists are now suggesting that Trump’s growing momentum could lead to an expanded GOP majority in the House as well, eroding any hopes Democrats had of reclaiming control.


A key factor driving Trump’s resurgence is voter sentiment about his past performance. The poll reveals that 52 percent of voters approve of Trump’s time in office, compared to just 42 percent who approve of Harris’ job as vice president. With the campaign nearing its final stretch, it seems increasingly unlikely that Harris will be able to change those numbers in her favor.


Harris’ recent policy positions may only complicate her efforts. This week, she doubled down on a far-left agenda that has sparked intense debate. One of her most controversial moves was voicing support for granting citizenship to tens of millions of illegal immigrants—a proposal that has alienated many voters concerned about border security. Election experts were puzzled by the timing of the announcement, with one seasoned observer calling the strategy "perplexing."


Harris also stirred controversy by endorsing the idea of forcing Catholic hospitals to provide abortions, a stance that has ignited fierce opposition among the religious electorate. Catholics represent about 22 percent of the U.S. population, and her stance is likely to be a "deal breaker" for many voters in this crucial demographic.


One observer noted, "It seems she is purposely flying into the mountain side. They know these positions are poison to the voters. But they don’t seem to care."


With these dynamics in play, the election is shaping up to be a referendum not just on the candidates but on the future direction of the country, with Trump’s rising approval potentially solidifying Republican dominance in Washington for years to come.
