US election 2024: Harris seen as debate winner, widens lead over Trump in polls

Democratic U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 47 per cent to 42 per cent in the race to win the Nov. 5 presidential election, increasing her advantage after a debate against the former president that voters largely think she won, according to a poll that closed on Thursday. The two-day poll showed Harris with a five percentage point lead among registered voters, just above the four-point advantage she had over Trump. Among voters who said they had heard at least something about Tuesday’s debate, 53 per cent said Harris won and 24 per cent said Trump won, with the rest saying neither had or not answering. The poll surveyed 1,690 U.S. adults nationwide, including 1,405 registered voters. It had a margin of error of around three percentage points for registered voters.
