Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has emerged with a noticeable lead over former President Donald Trump in a recent national poll, although a previous survey showed the two candidates evenly matched in the swing states.
Knewz.com has learned that the latest poll shows Harris commanding a substantial lead among several voter groups.
While the margin between Harris and Trump cannot be considered "huge" when it comes to registered voters surveyed for the national poll, a considerable majority of likely voters favor the Vice President.
As compared to the surveyed registered voters – 49% of whom favor Harris, and 47% favor Trump – 51% of likely voters intend to vote for the Vice President, and 47% have said that they favor Trump.
The data further states that Harris supporters surveyed for the poll have shown more inclination to vote.
It is worth noting that on issues like the economy, inflation, the Middle East crisis, the immigration situation, and crime, the voters surveyed for the recent ABC News-Ipsos national poll heavily favored Trump.
On the other hand, the voters trusted Harris more on issues regarding the protection of American democracy, the state of the middle class in the United States, healthcare, and abortion rights and related medical care.
The poll also showed the candidates favored by different voter groups, most of whom seemed to favor the Democratic Presidential nominee.
According to the survey, Trump scored extremely well among white people, non-college graduates, suburban men, and men in the age group of 18 to 39.
Among all the men who participated in the poll, Trump commanded a six-point lead over Harris.
Trump commanded the highest lead over Harris among white men without college degrees—he was favored by 68% of the voters, as opposed to Harris's 27%.
However, it is worth noting that Harris was favored by the majority of the black and hispanic population surveyed for the ABC News-Ipsos poll. Notably, Harris commanded an 83-point lead over Trump among black voters, the poll showed.
Harris saw the most significant lead over Trump among black women, per the poll, 93% of whom favored the Vice President. In contrast, only 5% of the said demographic said they would support Trump in the elections.
It has been pointed out that voter turnout in the upcoming elections will become a determining factor when it comes to Harris, since there is a considerable margin between the number of registered voters supporting her and the number of likely voters inclined to cast their votes for the Democratic candidate.
Reports mentioned, "While Harris has a 70-point advantage among all Black people, that widens to 83 points among Black likely voters, 90-7%. Ninety-six percent of liberal likely voters support Harris, vs. 91% of liberals overall. Additionally, she goes from 53% support among all suburban women to 59% among those likely to vote."
On the other hand, Trump's numbers remain almost unchanged among registered and likely voters.
It is worth noting that although the aforementioned poll placed Harris over Trump by a narrow margin among registered voters and a relatively wider margin among likely voters, the two candidates are almost tied in the swing states, according to a separate poll.
A recent poll conducted by The Washington Post and George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government showed that around 47% of registered voters in the swing states said they will definitely or probably support Harris, while 47% are almost sure they would cast their votes for the Republican Presidential nominee.
The two candidates are on almost similar standing among the subset of likely voters in the swing states as well, with 49% supporting Harris and 48% supporting Trump.
It is worth noting that the support for Trump in the battleground states has not seen much of a noticeable change over the past few months, as the former President was favored by 48% of registered swing state voters— almost the same percentage of people who said they intend to vote for him in the October poll.
In the recent Washington Post-Schar School poll, Trump seems to be commanding the most support among registered voters in the swing state of Arizona, where he is being favored by 50% of registered voters.
His second-biggest swing state supporter, per the recent poll, seems to be North Carolina, where he is commanding the support of 49% of registered voters.
The numbers are in favor of Trump in Michigan as well, with 47% of registered voters inclined toward voting for Trump.
