With fewer than 10 weeks remaining for the upcoming US Presidential elections, the race to the White House is becoming close with Vice President Kamala Harris maintaining a narrow lead nationally over former President Donald Trump.

The surveys were conducted after President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 presidential race, after the Democratic convention, and after independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed former President Donald Trump.

The polls and surveys have changed significantly while closing the gap on issues where Republican candidate Donald Trump has been leading and maintaining a narrow margin for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris nationally.

The latest Wall Street Journal poll shows Vice President Harris leading nationally with 48 percent support of registered voters while Trump remains at 47 percent.

Another poll by Quinnipiac University showed Kamala Harris enjoying 49 percent support and Trump trailing at 48 percent.

One outlier poll by Suffolk/USA Today suggests that Kamala Harris is ahead with 48 percent support base while Trump is left behind at 43 percent, and 9 percent are undecided voters. This poll indicates that Harris’ popularity is eclipsing Trump’s earlier gains during Biden’s bid to contest the polls.

The Trump-Harris debate scheduled on September 10 on ABC News would be a crucial game changer in these polls as the narrow margin could shift either way, like it happened post June 27 when Biden was supposedly decimated in the debate on CNN against Trump.
