The candidates for the US election are not yet official.
But the signs point to Trump vs. Biden.
According to the survey, Trump is also scoring points with more and more Democrats.
Washington - In November it will be Trump vs. Biden again in the USA, at least that is what we can assume at the moment, even if the Republican and Democratic candidates will not be officially announced until the summer.
However, the election campaign for the US presidency is already underway.
A head-to-head race is expected.
The results of a series of surveys by
Harvard's Center for American Political Studies
and
Harris Insights and Analytics
(
Harvard CAPS/Harris
) show that more and more people from the Democratic camp are increasingly positive about Donald Trump, the former US president and Republican candidate evaluate.
US news magazine
Newsweek
reported that in the March
Harvard CAPS/Harris
poll, 33 percent of Democrats said Trump would change the country for the better.
In February only 30 percent of Democrats answered this question in the affirmative, and in January it was only 25 percent.
According to the survey, the number of Democrats who see Trump as a threat to democracy has also fallen from 72 percent to 67 percent since January.
Biden is slightly gaining favor with voters
However, these numbers do not give incumbent President Joe Biden any reason to worry about the approval of the Democrats.
84 percent of Democrats support the 81-year-old as president.
In the polls, support among Democrats is not only growing for Trump, but also for US President Biden.
Compared to January, three percent more, or 52 percent, of Democrats said in the survey that Biden had improved as president.
And Biden has also made some gains in terms of voter favorability, according to the results of a
Reuters/Ipsos poll
published on Tuesday.
40 percent of those surveyed said that Biden was doing a good job as president.
This means that the value has increased by three percent compared to February.
In contrast, according to the survey, 56 percent of those surveyed are dissatisfied with the 81-year-old's work.

Trump in court: What impact would convictions have?
According to statistics portals, Trump is currently slightly ahead of Biden in the polls.
That could perhaps change if Trump is convicted.
According to the Harvard CAPS/Harris
poll , who Democrats would vote for Trump
also appears to depend on what crime Trump would be convicted of.
While only 13 percent would vote for Trump if he were convicted of taking secret government documents, 18 percent of Democrats said they would vote for Trump if he were convicted of influencing the election in Georgia.

According to a survey, there is disagreement in the USA as to whether Trump is a viable candidate for the presidency despite his accusations.
While 51 percent of respondents said the indictments would make it impossible for Trump to run for president, just under half, 48 percent, said Trump's proceedings would not stop him.
According to an
NBC News
poll , if Trump were convicted, Biden would be seven points ahead of him in the race for the US presidency.
