US election poll roundup: Harris edges Trump in tight race
ISTANBUL (AA) – Recent polls showed US Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris holding a slim lead over former President Donald Trump ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.
A CBS News/YouGov survey, conducted from Sept. 18-20, showed Harris narrowly leading Trump nationally with 52% to 48% among 3,129 respondents.
In battleground states, which are crucial in the US “winner takes all” system, Harris holds a slim 51-49 lead, up from last month’s 50-50 tie. The poll noted improved economic sentiment and Harris’s debate performance as potential factors.
An NBC poll of 1,000 voters from Sept. 13-17 showed Harris leading 49-44, a significant shift from July when Trump led by 2 points “before President Joe Biden’s exit.”
NBC also reported Harris’ favorability jumped 16 points since July, the largest increase for any politician since 9/11.
Fox News poll of 1,102 registered voters from Sept. 13-16 showed a narrow race, with Harris at 50% and Trump at 48%. The poll highlighted a significant shift from August when Trump led 50-49.
Napolitan News Service, Mainstreet Research and Economist/YouGov polls all gave Harris lead with the Democratic candidate scoring 50-47, 49-45 and 49-45, respectively.
