Harris holds 6-point national lead over Trump in postdebate polling
Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump nationally by 6 points, according to a polling released a week after the first debate between the major party nominees.
The Morning Consult survey, published Tuesday, found Harris garnered 51 percent support among likely voters — her highest margin to date — compared to Trump’s 45 percent. Some 2 percent said they would prefer someone else, while another 2 percent had no opinion. The vice president's lead is outside the survey’s margin of error.
Harris had the same level of separation among independents, with 47 percent backing her, about 41 percent backing Trump, and 6 percent saying they would prefer another choice.
Roughly 6 out of 10 likely voters who watched the ABC News debate, 61 percent, said the vice president was the winner. Around 1 in 5 Republicans reached the same conclusion. About 33 percent of likely voters surveyed said Trump, the GOP nominee, won the showdown.
The Democratic nominee also holds an advantage in terms of favorability. More than half of likely voters surveyed, 53 percent, have a favorable view of Harris, while 44 percent said the same about the former president.
The polling also found Harris leads the former president among younger voters; about 56 percent of voters aged 18-34 sided with the vice president, while 41 percent picked Trump.
Harris also has a 60-point lead among Black voters, with 78 percent backing her and about 18 percent picking Trump.
In The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate of polls, Harris boats a 3-point advantage over Trump: 49.6 percent to the former president's 46.2 percent.
The Morning Consult survey was conducted Sept. 13-15 among 11,022 likely voters. The margin of error was 1 percentage point.
