The US presidential election is still few days away, and none
can predict 100%, who will enter the
White House as the next president, as both Republican Candidate “Donald Trump”
and democratic candidate “Hillary Clinton” are trying to use every single possible
campaigning strategy to grab the chair.
As per the survey conducted by different agencies till third
week of Oct “Hilary Clinton” being ahead by 5 to 11% margins against her
counterpart “Donald Trump”, which is huge. Many of the US elections are won on
margins of less than 2%.
Earlier, some opinion polls put Trump ahead but after the leaked of a 2005 video tape
which containing his obscene comments on women and the revelations that he
avoided paying taxes for 18 years that put a question mark over his suitability
for the post of US President .
Now it’s “Clinton”, she too is facing serious allegations
over the mishandling of classified emails as secretary of state ahead of the
Polls in the last moment, which is a political gift to Trump to make a new
strategy against his counterpart and comeback in the race.
Recent opinion poll till 1st Nov conducted by ABC news, that
put Donald trump ahead of the democratic rival by the margins of (45-46)1 point
that gives some relief to Trump and more dreadful to Clinton. Now it’s very
pleasant to predict, who will be the real winner of the White House as both
rivals are showing their final leg of strength to attract voters.
India is also closely observing the presidential election to
understand how bilateral ties between the two countries would progress. Else,
One thing is clear from the Republican and Democratic campaigns, the next
President of the United States will impact the trading partners of America and
their respective economies.
What might a Trump presidency look like for India-US
relations? Most of what Trump has said about India, and about its neighbors,
suggests that he would lift the Indo-US relationship out of its rut. As
president, he could well disrupt the balance of power in Asia, shifting it in
favor of India.
While Clinton is a known quantity to Indian government
officials: First Lady for eight years, US senator for another eight, then
secretary of state for four. All the while she has been a friend of India.
Finally, whoever will be the next American President as the
world community is also anxiously waiting to see how the new US administration
will respond to important international issues, including China’s assertive
posturing in the South China Sea, the crises in Syria, Ukraine and Iraq, the
menace of terrorism and others?
