A day after a USA TODAY/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV survey revealed Kamala Harris is now only 5 percentage points behind Donald Trump in his home state of Florida, a new poll shows that the vice president has also narrowed the gap with the former president in Texas, a state that has historically voted Republican.
The poll, conducted by ActiVote between July 31 and August 13 among 400 likely voters, shows Trump leading Harris by 6.6 percentage points, with 53.3% support for Trump compared to 46.6% for Harris. This represents a considerable contrast from the pollster's previous survey. Conducted in July once President Biden ended his re-election bid, it showed Trump with an 8.8 point lead over Harris.
