Kamala Harris outpaces Trump in latest polls, gains voter confidence

As the authors of the latest poll believe, Kamala Harris has accomplished what Joe Biden did not. "She defeated Donald Trump," we read in USA Today. According to the latest survey, support for the Democratic candidate is growing.

According to the latest "USA Today"/Suffolk University poll, Kamala Harris can count on 48% support, ahead of Donald Trump, who 43% of respondents intend to vote for.

The results show an eight-point change compared to the last poll commissioned by "USA Today." At the end of June, Donald Trump was ahead of President Joe Biden by almost four percentage points.

"Harris achieved what Biden couldn't achieve this year: she defeated Donald Trump," the survey authors write.

Harris makes up lost ground

A Fox News poll also favours the current Vice President. According to it, Harris gained a slight advantage in three key southern and western states in the USA.

According to the survey, Harris wins against Trump by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead in North Carolina by 1 percentage point. In previous similar surveys commissioned by the television network, Trump outperformed the Democratic candidate—then still Joe Biden—by 5-6 percentage points in each of these states.

Voters believe in change

Interestingly, despite being the incumbent Vice President of the United States, more respondents pointed to Harris as the candidate who "will bring the necessary changes" than to Trump (49-48%). Harris also leads by 6 percentage points among voters declaring themselves as independent and has reduced Trump's lead among those for whom the economy is the most important issue in this election.

According to the average of polls calculated by the "New York Times," Harris has a 3 percentage point lead over Trump nationwide. She wins by a smaller margin against Trump in three key Rust Belt states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania), ties in Arizona, and loses in Georgia by 2 percentage points.
