According to a survey published by the Wall Street Journal on October 23, Republican candidate Donald Trump won 47% of support from voters nationwide, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris got 45%, in the vote. The remaining percentage belonged to third-party and independent candidates.
That’s a big change from a national poll conducted in late August that showed Harris with a 2-point advantage. The former president’s advantage is within the new poll’s margin of error, meaning either Trump or Harris could potentially lead the race.

A Wall Street Journal poll of 1,500 registered voters conducted from October 19 to 22 also showed that Mr. Trump leads Ms. Harris by 3 points (49% - 46%) in a head-to-head matchup.
The poll found that views of Vice President Harris have become more negative since August, with her approval rating down 8 points and her approval rating as vice president ranging from 42% to 54%. Views of Mr. Trump, meanwhile, have improved, with voters approving of his past performance in the White House at 52% to 48%.
The latest poll follows a Fox News national survey conducted from October 11 to 14 that showed the Republican presidential candidate leading the Democratic candidate by 2 points.
Several other polls in the past two weeks, including those from CBS News, Marist and USA Today/Suffolk University, have shown Ms. Harris with a smaller advantage over Mr. Trump. But those polls still have a margin of error.
Vice President Harris has replaced President Biden as the Democratic nominee, with a surge in fundraising and steadily rising poll numbers. She leads Mr. Trump in most national polls.
National polls conducted in late September and October also showed Trump gaining ground over Harris. The latest Fox News poll showed former President Trump with 50% support and Vice President Harris with 48%, a reversal from last month.
“ The race has been within the margin of error for three months and the outcome could come down to which side is more effective at getting voters to the polls rather than persuading them,” said veteran Democratic pollster Chris Anderson.
The race for the White House is not based on the national popular vote but instead on a bitter contest between states and electoral votes.
The vice president entered the final month of the campaign with a huge financial advantage over former President Trump, according to the latest federal fundraising records. Harris’s campaign brought in $221.8 million in September, more than three times the amount of Trump’s.
