Meanwhile, a Reuters/Ipsos poll has found that Kamala Harris held a lead of 3 points over Trump this week, meaning that the fight has come very close between the two candidates, and Trump is no more lagging behind, as he was, a couple of weeks back.

Loeb is also of the opinion that the White house administration, if led by the Republicans, will help in improving the wave of corporate activity in the country, which would ultimately bolster the growth of the industrial infrastructure.
