The blue wall looks strong. Even before the rousing Democratic National Convention in Chicago, August polling showed that Kamala Harris had pulled ahead of Donald Trump in three key Midwestern swing states — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. This is down to her ability to channel a mood of optimism rather than fear, Trump’s own mis-steps and the fact that 30 per cent of the private sector investments into strategic sectors supported by the Biden administration has gone to places like the industrial Midwest.
“蓝墙”看起来很坚固。即使在芝加哥举行的民主党全国大会(Democratic National Convention)之前，8月份的民意调查就显示，在密歇根州、威斯康星州和宾夕法尼亚州这三个关键的中西部摇摆州中，卡玛拉•哈里斯(Kamala Harris)已经超过了唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)。这归功于她能够传递乐观而不是恐惧的情绪，特朗普自己出现失误，以及拜登(Biden)政府对战略性行业支持的私营部门投资中有30%流向了像中西部工业区这样的地方。
