Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump by 7 points in a new national poll, marking a notable boost for the Democratic candidate as the general election nears.
The Fairleigh Dickinson University survey, released last Friday, shows Harris ahead of Trump by a margin of 50 to 43 percent, with 7 percent of voters indicating they will choose someone else. Both candidates receive strong support from their respective party members, with 95 percent backing from their party’s voters.
Among independents, Harris leads Trump by a narrower margin of 38 to 33 percent. She also has a substantial advantage among liberals, progressives, and moderates. Conversely, Trump holds a significant lead among conservatives and MAGA voters.
The poll suggests that considerations of race and gender have a substantial impact on Harris’s lead, with her advantage widening when these factors are considered.
Trump’s strong support among certain demographics and the overall political climate underscore the evolving dynamics of the election.
Despite these findings, some strategists caution that it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions about the November election.
