Mideast Conflict Looms Over US Presidential Race as Harris and Trump Jostle for an Edge

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

77% : Among Republicans, about 8 in 10 say Trump would be better.
70% : About 4 in 10 registered voters say Trump would do a better job, and a similar share say that about Harris.
55% : Trump, meanwhile, in recent days has participated in interviews with Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya and Lebanese outlet MTV, where he promised to bring about peace and said "things will turn out very well" in Lebanon.
18% : "If Kamala gets four more years, the Middle East will spend the next four decades going up in flames, and your kids will be going off to War, maybe even a Third World War, something that will never happen with President Donald J. Trump in charge," Trump posted.
17% : "That's what people are saying when they're asked the question, 'Isn't Trump going to be worse?'
16% : But Harris aides and allies also are frustrated with what they see as Trump largely getting a pass on some of his unpredictable foreign policy statements.
15% : "To say to Arab Americans, 'Trump is going to be worse' -- what is worse than having members of your family killed?" said Rima Meroueh, director of the National Network for Arab American Communities.
6% : "For our Country's sake, and for your kids, Vote Trump for PEACE!"Harris' position is particularly awkward because as vice president she is tethered to President Joe Biden's foreign policy decisions even as she's tried to strike a more empathetic tone to all parties.
