Poll: Harris Expands Lead Over Trump

ChainCatcher news, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday shows that ahead of the November U.S. presidential election, Vice President Harris leads former President Trump with a support rate of 47% to 40%, as she seems to have weakened Trump's advantage on the economy and jobs.

When asked which candidate is better on "the economy, unemployment, and jobs," about 43% of voters chose Trump, while 41% chose Harris. Trump's advantage on this topic is 2 percentage points, down from a 3-point lead in an August poll, and down from an 11-point lead shortly after Harris launched her campaign at the end of July.

Although national polls provide important signals about voter sentiment, the results of the Electoral College in each state determine who the winner is, and the races in seven swing states may be decisive.
