Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a slight edge over former President Donald Trump in a new poll released on Tuesday, which examined which candidate voters perceive as representing change. The latest national poll indicates that if the election were held today, 49% of respondents would vote for Harris, while 46% would vote for Trump. This marks the first time Harris has led Trump in the poll since President Biden dropped out in July.
Harris has a narrow lead among respondents who view her, rather than Trump, as a departure from the status quo, with 46% favoring her compared to 44% for the former president. This lead for Harris is more pronounced among non-White and younger voters, with 61% and 58% respectively supporting her, as opposed to 29% of non-White and 34% of younger voters favoring Trump.
