Harris holds 1-point national lead over Trump: Survey
Vice President Harris has a slight edge over former President Trump less than 25 days before the election, according to a new survey.
The poll, released Thursday by Pew Research Center, found that among registered voters, the vice president has a 1-point lead, 48 percent to 47 percent, over the former president. Some 5 percent were leaning toward a third-party candidate. The lead is within the poll’s margin of error.
The majority of the poll’s respondents, 86 percent, said it’s not yet clear who will win the White House on Nov. 5, underscoring how tight the race still is.
Roughly 36 percent said the Democratic nominee would be a “good or great” president. About 18 percent said she would be average, while nearly half — 46 percent — said she would be “poor or terrible" in the role, the survey found.
Trump received similar results, with 48 percent saying he would be a “terrible” commander in chief. About 41 percent said he would be “good or great," while only 11 percent said he would be "average," the data shows.
More voters, 89 percent, think the GOP presidential nominee would change the way things operate in Washington, nearly 20 points more than Harris’s 70 percent, according to the poll. Many survey respondents think both Trump, 48 percent, and Harris, 41 percent, would change Washington for the worse.
The numbers follow another poll released Thursday from The Economist/YouGov that showed Harris leading Trump by 4 points — 49 percent to Trump’s 45 percent — among likely voters. When broken down into registered voters only, the survey found Harris's lead dropped to just 3 points.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls shows the vice president with a narrow lead nationally, besting the former president by 2.9 points — 49.7 percent to 46.8 percent.
The Pew Research poll was conducted between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6 among 5,110 adults, including 4,025 registered voters. The margin of error was 1.7 percentage points.
