Kamala Harris has momentum, but she is still locked in a virtual dead heat with Donald Trump in most polls of the 2024 presidential race. Harris “overwhelmingly impressed” voters in her September debate with Trump, said The New York Times: Two-thirds of respondents say she did well in the encounter. But the paper’s latest poll — conducted with The Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College — shows she has failed to take a “decisive advantage” in the race: The two candidates are deadlocked overall.
One place where Harris does have an edge? Pennsylvania, a critical swing state, where she holds a four-point lead. It is “surprising,” said the Times, that Harris’ numbers are “stronger in Pennsylvania” than they are nationally. Other polls see a closer race than that. Harris and Trump are “essentially tied” in Pennsylvania, said The Washington Post. The Post’s poll shows Harris gets backing from 48% of Keystone State voters, while Trump weighs in at 47%. That’s no shock: “Pennsylvania has been narrowly divided every time Trump has been on the ballot,” the Post said. Something to note: Pennsylvania voters “widely say Harris won” the debate.
