A dead heat? Trump gains in polls, ‘Harris honeymoon’ over as US Election Day nears
Polling shows Vice-President Harris and Trump neck-and-neck as the Republican former president closes the gap on his Democrat rival
The “Harris honeymoon” has ended and the presidential race is locked in a tie with just over three weeks to go before the November 5 election, according to polling from three major news networks.
According to an NBC News poll released Sunday, Trump has regained his footing after seeing a small slip in support following his lone debate appearance against Vice-President Kamala Harris.
“In the new poll – which was conducted October 4-8 – Harris gets support from 48 per cent of registered voters in a head-to-head match-up, while Trump gets an identical 48 per cent. Another 4 per cent say they are undecided or wouldn’t vote for either option when forced to choose between those two major-party candidates,” NBC wrote.
According to the pollsters who conducted the survey on behalf of the news agency, “the race is a dead heat”.
“As summer has turned to fall, any signs of momentum for Kamala Harris have stopped,” Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt said.
