About

This dataset provides detailed information for the 2024 US Presidential Election, offering a valuable resource for political analysis and research. It includes a variety of data types, such as profiles of candidates, primary/caucus results, poll data, and debate transcripts. Key updates have been integrated throughout the election season, including the latest poll figures, transcripts from the Vice-Presidential debate between Walz and Vance, and the debate between Trump and Harris.
Significant events covered within the dataset include an annotated image and transcripts related to an assassination attempt on former President Trump. The political landscape evolved with the Democratic Party replacing President Biden with Kamala Harris in late August, setting up a contest between Trump and Harris, alongside nominees from smaller factions. The dataset also features approval ratings for sitting presidents, including Biden and Trump, and details on candidates like Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is running as an independent. This collection is regularly updated to reflect developments as the election cycle progresses, making it a current and dynamic source for understanding the 2024 US Presidential Election.
