Slim Harris lead narrows over Trump in post-VP debate national survey
Vice President Harris’s slim national lead over former President Trump narrowed after the vice presidential debate last week, a survey published Monday found.
Harris is leading Trump by 2 percentage points, 48 percent to 46 percent, in a Yahoo News/YouGov poll conducted after the debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).
In the same survey conducted after the presidential debate last month, Harris polled 5 percentage points ahead of Trump, at 50 percent compared to his 45 percent.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll included 1,714 U.S. adults and was conducted Oct 2-4. The debate, on which voters were closely divided over who had the better night, was Oct 1.
Polling after the Sept. 10 presidential debate, by comparison, suggested Harris was the winner, and her campaign has since pushed for a second debate against Trump. The former president has rejected the idea.
Her sharp performance, though, fell short of moving the needle in the key swing states needed to win in November. Nationally, Harris currently holds a 3.4 percentage point lead over Trump, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ aggregate polling, which has grown just slightly since the day before their debate, when she had a 3.2 percentage point lead.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
