Harris, Trump separated by just 1 point in national survey
Vice President Harris and former President Trump are separated by just 1 point in a new national survey.
The survey, conducted by CNN and SSRS, finds Harris earning 48 percent to Trump’s 47 percent nationally among likely voters. The margin suggests there’s no clear winner in the race as it stands.
About 2 percent of the poll’s respondents say they plan to vote for Libertarian Chase Oliver and 1 percent plan on voting for Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
Harris has seen a major shift in voters’ attitudes since she rose to the top of the Democratic ticket after President Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed her candidacy.
Shortly after he made the decision to step aside, voters were evenly divided between casting their vote for the vice president because they liked or as an anti-Trump vote. Biden supporters in previous surveys largely expressed opposition to the former president as their reason for backing Harris, the CNN poll notes.
Now, 60 percent of Harris voters say they back her more than Trump, per the survey.
On the other side 72 percent of Trump supporters say their choice is more for him than against Harris, the poll found.
Harris is performing slightly better than her GOP rival among independent voters. She receives 45 percent to his 41 percent, mostly because of women independent voters, per the poll. The researchers also noted that white men tend to favor the former president more than white women. But white women still favor the former president, who garnered 50 percent to Harris’s 47 percent among the demographic.
The Democratic nominee is out-performing Trump among likely voters under 30, Black and Latino voters, the data shows.
About 2 percent of likely voters say they have yet to decide who they will vote for, and 12 percent say they’ve chosen a candidate, but they could change their mind in the remaining days until the election.
The survey is reflective of other national polls, which show the race is going to be close. According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris has a 3.9 percent lead over Trump based on an aggregation of polls.
The CNN poll was conducted Sept. 19-22 among 2,074 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
