Kamala Harris slightly ahead of Donald Trump, according to several polls

The race for the presidential elections in the United States presents a very close scenario that, for the moment, gives a slight advantage to the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, over the former president and Republican candidate for re-election, Donald Trump, according to several polls dated this Sunday, August 18.

The most significant difference is the one offered by the new survey published by ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsoswhich gives the Democratic candidate a 50% lead compared to Trump’s 45% support, although Harris fails to overtake the former president (2017-2021) on key issues such as the management of the economy and immigration.

According to the poll, Harris would beat Trump by 50% to 45% among all adults and by one percentage point less (49%-45%) among registered voters.

And he would also surpass him among potential voters with 51% compared to the New York magnate’s 45%.

The survey by the Ipsos consulting firm reflects, as does the average prepared by the website FiveThirtyEightthe closeness of this presidential election, as Vice President Harris prepares to officially accept her nomination next week at the Democratic National Convention.

On average FiveThirtyEighAs released Sunday, Harris leads Trump by a margin of 2.6 percentage points (46.4% vs. 43.8%).

And according to an aggregate of surveys published by The Hill/Decision DeskHarris leads Trump nationally by a narrow 1.8% (49% for the Democrat versus 47% for the Republican).

The Democratic duo (Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Waltz) have managed to reverse the bad omens for their party ahead of the November elections that US President Joe Biden had when he was a candidate.

Various polls now show a very close race between Trump and Harris.

Trump will be busy next week with an intense agenda of campaign events to counter the media spotlight that will be focused on the Democratic National Convention in the coming days, where Kamala Harris will be officially announced as the vice-presidential candidate.
