Seeking the White House seat after President Joe Biden's resignation, Kamala Harris continues to gain in the polls. The current Vice President has reversed the unfavourable trend for the Democrats and is systematically strengthening her lead over Donald Trump.
According to the latest poll by the international organization YouGov, Harris can count on 46% support, which gives her an advantage over the incumbent Donald Trump, supported by 44% of respondents.
This is another poll indicating the Democratic candidate’s lead.
Harris celebrates, Trump panics
According to the poll summary published at 00:00 GMT on Monday, Harris maintains a several-point lead over Trump.
According to the poll conducted on behalf of the Independent Center, Harris has a 4-point lead in Pennsylvania, 6 in Michigan, and 9 in Wisconsin. A Democratic candidate’s win in the three swing states would likely mean a victory in November, assuming the traditional leftist strongholds are maintained.
In nearly all similar surveys before Joe Biden withdrew from the race, the sitting president lost to Trump in all the swing states.
According to the national poll average calculated by "The New York Times," Harris’s ratings are 1 percentage point higher than Trump’s (48-47%) across the country, similar to the RealClearPolitics average. The average from "The Economist" gives Harris nearly a 3-point lead (47.8-45%).
