According to a new poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov, Vice President Harris led former President Trump for the second consecutive week.
The poll, which was conducted between August 4 and 6, revealed that Harris was ahead of Trump by 2 points among registered voters, with 45% to 43% the difference.
In the same poll conducted the week prior, Harris garnered 46% of the support of registered voters, while Trump received 44%.
Following former President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the election and endorse her, Harris has experienced a rapid succession of events over the past few weeks.
