Polls show Harris is slowly leaving Trump behind

A Morning Consult poll of more than 11,000 registered voters found Vice President Harris up 4 percentage points over former President Trump (48% to 44%). The latest numbers show Harris improving by 1 percentage point from last week's poll.

Ms. Harris has not trailed Mr. Trump in any daily tracking survey since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in late July.

Both candidates have strong support from their parties, with 90% of Democrats backing Ms. Harris and 89% of Republicans backing Mr. Trump. However, independents currently favor Ms. Harris more (42% to 38%), while 20% support others or are undecided.

Ms. Harris's vice presidential running mate, Tim Walz, has a similar approval rating to Mr. Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, at 39%. However, Mr. Vance's disapproval rating is higher, at 41% compared to Mr. Walz's 36%.

The Morning Consult poll was conducted August 16-18 among 11,501 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Meanwhile, FiveThirtyEight's average of national polls, which includes Morning Consult's poll, shows Ms. Harris leading by just under 3 percentage points (46.7% to 43.8%).
