Few Days To US Presidential Election, What Updates Are Polls Saying?
Vice President Kamala Harris addressed supporters from the Ellipse in Washington, DC, the same location where her opponent, former President Donald Trump, addressed supporters prior to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, just one week before the US election.
What are the most recent poll results?
The most recent polls conducted by Reuters and Ipsos indicate that Harris’s lead over Trump has diminished during the election’s final stretch.
According to the poll, she is only one percentage point ahead of Republicans, 44 percent to 43 percent, nationally. The poll had a three-percentage-point margin of error in either direction.
Additionally, the poll indicates that Harris’ lead has been steadily decreasing since the end of September. Harris had a two-point lead over Trump in a previous Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from October 16 to 21.
A separate telephone and online poll conducted by the well-known US pollster Rasmussen indicates that Harris faces a challenge in likability. The survey found that 47% of likely voters in the United States view her favorably, with 33% having a “very” favorable opinion. However, 44% have a “very” negative impression of her, and 51% view her negatively.
According to FiveThirtyEight’s poll tracker, national polls show Harris leading by 1.4 points, which is still well within the polls’ margin of error.
