Vice President Kamala Harris currently holds 50% support in the race for president, with former President Donald Trump at 47%, according to the latest polls. This slight lead for Harris falls within the typical margin of sampling error for a national poll, indicating a close competition between the two candidates.
Comparing the recent poll results to the previous Poll of Polls conducted before the ABC News debate, there appears to be a slight shift in Harris' favor. The earlier average showed Harris at 49% and Trump at 48%. The new average is based on five polls conducted after the ABC News debate on September 10.
Among the five polls included in the new average, three polls placed Harris ahead of Trump by margins outside the sampling error, while two polls showed the race within the error margin. Notably, a recent poll by NBC News revealed Harris leading with 49% support, while Trump garnered 44%. This marks the lowest level of support for Trump in any poll conducted since Harris entered the race in late July.
The latest polling data indicates a competitive race between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, with both candidates closely vying for public support. As the election season progresses, these poll results provide valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the presidential race.
