With less than three months until election day, national polls show an extremely close race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The latest from FiveThirtyEight's poll tracker, which aggregates national and statewide polls, shows that nationally Harris is leading just slightly ahead of Trump by 3.3 points, with 47% to Trump's 43.7%.
The state of the economy and its future is at the forefront for Democrat and Republican voters alike, so we asked the entrepreneurial community who they felt was better for small businesses with polls posted on X and Instagram.
The results found a major contrast to national polling, with Trump winning by a large margin on both platforms. Of the 422 votes cast on X, Trump won with 69.7% of the votes. Similarly, on Instagram, of the 389 votes cast, 66% were in favor of Trump.
