A poll has asked people in Denmark who they would prefer to win the 2024 US presidential election, with Danes showing a very clear preference for one of the two candidates.

Tuesday’s US presidential election is expected to have a very close outcome, with fine margins likely to hand victory to either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

For voters in Denmark, there’s an overwhelming favourite when it comes to who they’d prefer to lead the US government.

Just 8 percent of Danish voters would vote for Trump while over 83 percent would vote for Harris, according to a survey by Voxmeter for newswire Ritzau.

In the survey, 1,043 Danes were asked who they would vote for in the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday if they had the opportunity. Aside from those choosing either candidate, 9 percent were undecided.

More Danish men than women would vote for Trump if they could, but Harris has significantly greater support overall, the survey found.

A total of 11.7 percent of male respondents said they would vote for Trump, compared to just 4 percent of female respondents.

Trump has more backing among younger Danes than older ones, though still with a far lower share of support than Harris.

Of Danes aged 18 to 34, 13.5 percent would vote for Trump. That support decreases with age, with only 2.3 percent of those over 65 saying they would vote for him.

The Voxmeter survey was conducted from October 31st to November 4th, with only respondents over 18 years old included.

It’s clear that 83% of Danes don’t grasp the incompetence of Harris and Biden. Everything they accused Trump of, they’ve done themselves, including weaponizing the Justice Department. Few Danes would accept the disastrous immigration policies that allowed 11 million illegal aliens into the U.S., including criminals. This poll shows Danes need to stop relying on biased media, which distorts facts. A Harris administration could spell the end of America as we know it.
