Of 1,000 people surveyed in the US Sun poll, 177 (18%) said they strongly agreed.

Another 197 (20%) said they somewhat agreed.

A total of 378 people were undecided, with 378 (38%) saying they neither agreed nor disagreed with the statement.

Only 74 (7%) disagreed, while 174 (17%) strongly disagreed.

Of those who strongly agreed, 21% were men and 16% were women.

Generation Z was among those who trusted the cartoon the most, accounting for 34% of those who said they strongly agreed.

Millennials (29%) followed closely, while only 11% of those who strongly agreed The Simpsons could predict the future were baby boomers.

With less than 24 hours until voters go to the polls again, viewers were quick to circulate the clip.

“I have no fear,” one person wrote on X alongside a photo of Lisa next to Kamala Harris in the same plum suit.

Americans will head to the polls to vote tomorrow, with Trump and Harris still neck and neck in the race for the White House.

Their fate will ultimately come down to seven crucial states, with one expert telling The Sun it could happen. up to 80,000 votes or less.

“This is the closest race we’ve seen to draw seven swing states I’ve covered in my 17 years working the Cook Report,” the former Cook Political Report editor told the Sun and renowned election analyst, David Wasserman. .

“Statistically, the chances of it coming down to fewer than 10,000 votes in a swing state are unlikely, but the last two elections came down to fewer than 80,000 votes in three states.”

From Monday, 538 surveys showed Harris leading in national polls, averaging 48% of the vote to Trump’s 46.9%.

How are the American presidential elections going?

BY Ellie Doughtyforeign press journalist

The Democratic and Republican parties nominate their candidates through a series of votes – called primaries and state caucuses – in the run-up to the November elections, which occur every four years.

This gives members the opportunity to choose who they want to lead the party into the election – this year, Donald Trump and, after Biden resigned, Kamala Harris.

Some independent candidates are also running for president — perhaps the most well-known being Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who withdrew in August and supported Trump.

In the United States, the winner is not the candidate who receives the most votes in the entire country.

Instead, Trump and Harris will compete to win smaller contests held in each of the 50 states.

Many states often vote the same way – but seven of them – Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona – tend to go both ways.

Each state has a certain number of college electoral votes – based in part on population size – with a total of 538 up for grabs nationwide.

The winner is the candidate who scores 270 or more, marking a majority in the electoral college.

All but two U.S. states – Maine and Nebraska – have a winner-takes-all rule.

This means that the candidate who receives the most votes wins all of the state’s electoral college votes.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won more votes nationally than Donald Trump, but she still lost the election due to Electoral College votes.

The candidate who will win this election is the one who receives 270 or more college ballots.

Usually the winner is declared the same evening, but it can take days to finalize the result.

In 2020, Joe Biden was not officially announced as president-elect until November 7.

The new president will be sworn in in January on the steps of the Capitol in Washington DC.
