Campaign 
Trump takes 2-point lead over Harris nationally: Poll



	by Lauren Irwin 10/24/24 08:43 AM ET 






Former President Trump has taken a 2-point lead over Vice President Harris nationally, according to a new poll conducted by HarrisX and Forbes. 
The poll found Trump leading Harris, 51 percent to 49 percent. In a September survey, Harris led by 4 points.


  

Many voters, however, say they are still weighing their options. Twelve percent of likely voters and 18 percent of registered voters say they are undecided about who they will vote for.
The undecided vote is huge. With the countdown to Election Day on, Harris and Trump are making their last-minute pitches to voters and looking to secure every vote they can. In what is expected to be one of the closest elections of all time, a handful of votes could determine the winner.
Harris X founder and CEO Dritan Nesho said the election is a “dynamic, competitive race” that will stay that way “to the very end.” It will come down to voter turnout and that 18 percent undecided population, he said.





Nesho noted that as of early voter turnout, Harris is leading by double digits, but Trump is closing in on the vice president’s gap in polling, which concerns some Democrats.


Harris, who was launched into the race after President Biden stepped down, was riding a high of excitement and relief from Democrats. That excitement carried her through August, after officially becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee, but she’s struggled to maintain the momentum.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate of polls shows the vice president leading her GOP rival by 0.9 points nationally — 48.7 percent to 47.8 percent.


  

The HarrisX/Forbes survey was conducted Oct. 21-22 among 1,244 likely voters and has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.

These polls doesn’t make any sense. Just a few minutes ago I’ve read a headline that says Harris leads with 2 points against Trump.
