US Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to narrow her lead over Republican Donald Trump in a hypothetical presidential race, according to the latest national polling data.
According to a poll published Wednesday by CNN, Harris has narrowed her lead in voting intention over former President Trump (2017-2021) to just two percentage points (within the margin of error), while the Republican is six points ahead of Democratic President Joe Biden, whose continuity as presidential candidate is up in the air following his poor performance in last week’s debate.
Recent polls by Ipsos and YouGov put Kamala Harris’s voting intention on par with Biden’s at the national level, but with a slight advantage over Trump, who, however, has increased his margins in the key states for the elections following the debate on June 27.
