When asked about the current escalation in the Middle East, 48% of respondents indicated that they believed Trump would manage the crisis better, while 33% preferred Harris for the same role.

In both cases, independent voters – those who do not consistently support either party – preferred the Republican candidate. Nearly half of them felt that Trump would be better at resolving the war in Ukraine, and 43% believed he would be more effective in addressing the war between Israel and Hamas.

The WSJ poll was conducted from 28 September to 8 October, with 2,100 voters in seven key US states. The margin of error was +/-2.1 percentage points.

Previous polls have shown that the overall difference in the rating between candidates in swing states is within the margin of error.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that Harris is ahead of Donald Trump, securing 46% support against his 43%.
