The presidential elections in the USA are approaching, and polls are consistent—Kamala Harris is strengthening her lead. According to the latest survey, the current vice president can even win over 50% of the votes.

The presidential elections in the USA will take place on November 5th. The current vice president, Kamala Harris, representing the Democrats, will face the Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, seeking re-election.

Since Harris replaced incumbent President Joe Biden as the candidate, support for the Democratic ticket has steadily grown. According to polls, Harris may receive more support than Donald Trump.

According to the latest poll conducted by the platform Polymarket.com, 52% of respondents intend to vote for Kamala Harris, which indicates an increase in support by 6 percentage points compared to the previous survey.

46% of survey participants declared that they plan to vote for Donald Trump.

Support for Harris is growing

Rising support for Kamala Harris is also confirmed by a poll conducted at the end of August by Reuters/Ipsos. According to the survey, the Democratic candidate can count on 46% support, compared to 41% for Donald Trump, which means a lead of 5 percentage points.

In the survey conducted at the end of July by Reuters/Ipsos, Harris had only a slim 1 percentage point lead over the Republican candidate.

Kamala Harris enjoys the greatest support among women and Latinos. In these groups, the vice president's lead over the Republican candidate is already 13 percentage points.

Donald Trump enjoys the most support among white men.
