Former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump seems to be racing ahead of Harris in the last leg of the campaign. The United States presidential election will be held on Tuesday, November 5.
Harris' popularity is declining compared to a month ago after she got a big summertime boost. Various polls and estimates show Trump tied in or ranking ahead of Harris. The race had started tightening a few weeks ago.
What the polls say about Trump and Harris
As per New York Times, nine national surveys from “select pollsters” (which means they meet certain criteria for reliability) released this past week, show a close race. «Three showed a tie, including the Times/Siena College poll, and three showed Ms. Harris ahead. Her best, an ABC News/Ipsos survey, found her up by four points. On the other hand, three of the polls showed Mr. Trump ahead — his best, the Wall Street Journal poll, found him up by three points. If you just take the simple average of those nine polls, you find Ms. Harris ahead by less than a point,» the NYT article said.
Two weeks ago, an NBC poll claimed that Trump and Harris were tied nationally with both having 48 per cent support as Trump this month erased Harris' lead. Trump is in a dead heat with Harris with a four point boost compared to NBC's September poll while Harris was down by one point. The September NBC polls showed Trump at 44 per cent and Harris in the lead by 5 per centage
