Poll shows Harris leading Trump

A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Aug. 29 showed Harris leading 45% to 41%, a 4% advantage that is larger than the 1% advantage Harris held over the former president in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in late July.

The new poll, conducted over eight days ending August 28 and with a margin of error of 2 percentage points, shows Ms. Harris receiving support from women and Hispanics.

Harris leads Trump 49% to 36% — or 13 percentage points — among both women and Hispanics. In four Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted in July, Harris led by 9 points among women and 6 points among Hispanics. Trump led among white voters and men by the same margin as in July.

However, in the seven states where the 2020 election was the closest — Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan and Nevada — Mr. Trump is leading Ms. Harris by 45% to 43%.

Additionally, a separate Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll released on August 29 showed that Ms. Harris also had only a minimal lead or was tied with Mr. Trump in the aforementioned states.

Meanwhile, according to a Wall Street Journal poll released on Thursday, Ms. Harris received 48% of public support compared to 47% for Trump, a very slim gap with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5%.

About 73% of Democrats in a Reuters/Ipsos poll said they were more enthusiastic about voting in November after Harris entered the race. Trump voters also expressed enthusiasm for his candidacy, with 64% saying their choice was more in support of Trump than in opposition to Harris.

Voters said Mr. Trump has a better approach to managing the U.S. economy than Ms. Harris by a margin of 45% to 36%. Conversely, Ms. Harris has a 47% to 31% advantage on abortion policy. About 41% of voters in the poll — and 70% of Democrats — said they were concerned that the next president might sign a national abortion ban.

"It's clear that running against Harris is going to be tougher for Trump given the change in those numbers, but it's certainly not insurmountable," Republican strategist Matt Wolking said in response to the Reuters/Ipsos poll.

He said former President Trump needed to focus as much as possible on his campaign “so as not to alienate” voters who were leaning toward him.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted nationwide and gathered responses from 4,253 U.S. adults, including 3,562 registered voters.
