Ms. Harris takes the lead over Mr. Trump before the US election

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris leads Republican rival Donald Trump in the latest US presidential election poll.

US Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by 46% to 43% in a Reuters/Ipsos US election poll. Harris' lead in the six-day poll, which ended on October 21, is not much different from her 45% to 42% lead over Trump in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier. The latest figures reinforce the view that the race between the two candidates is extremely tight with less than two weeks to go until the 2024 US presidential election (November 5). Both polls show Harris leading within the margin of error, with the latest poll showing her leading by just 2 percentage points when using unrounded figures. Voters have a negative view of the economy and immigration — and they generally support Trump’s approach to these issues, according to a new poll. About 70% of registered voters surveyed said their cost of living was headed in the wrong direction; 60% said the economy was headed in the wrong direction, and 65% said immigration policy was headed in the wrong direction. Voters ranked the economy and immigration, along with threats to democracy, as the most important issues facing the country. When asked which candidate would have a better approach to these issues, Trump led Harris on the economy, 46% to 38%. Trump also led Harris on immigration, 48% to 35%. But Mr Trump did not fare as well on the question of which candidate better addresses political extremism and threats to democracy, with 35% to 42% for Ms Harris. Harris’s lead over Mr Trump may not be enough to win the election even if it holds until November 5. National polls, including Reuters/Ipsos polls, provide important signals about voter sentiment, but the state-by-state results of the Electoral College will determine the winner, with seven potentially decisive battleground states. Mr Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election, winning the Electoral College despite Clinton winning the national popular vote by 2 points. US election polls show Ms Harris and Mr Trump neck and neck in those battleground states. Polls suggest voters — particularly Democrats — may be more enthusiastic about this year's election than they were before the 2020 presidential election, when Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeated Mr Trump.
