US Presidential election 2024: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump - who is winning?
Donald Trump", all eyes are now on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair.
Questions have now turned to Harris' electoral viability — and how she might perform against former President Donald Trump. Across recent polls, Harris trails Trump by 2 percentage points nationally on average, 46 per cent to 48 per cent. This is an improvement over Biden's standing in the race: He trailed the Trump by 3 percentage points in the polling average, 47 per cent to 44 per cent, as per a report on NYT News Service.
In recent swing state polls, taken before Biden announced he would withdraw from the presidential race and completed before the assassination attempt on Trump, Harris was only down by 1 percentage point in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania in a hypothetical matchup with Trump. And she was winning by a more comfortable 5 percentage points in Virginia, a state where Biden was up by only a razor-thin margin.
In both states, Harris performed slightly stronger than Biden with Black voters, younger voters and women — all groups that Democrats need in order to be successful this fall. And, importantly, those are groups where Biden appeared to be losing ground.
As recently as April, Harris was polling substantially behind Biden's standing, but she has gained ground in recent surveys.
