As the 2024 election draws near, the political landscape is shifting dramatically. In recent weeks, Donald Trump has pulled ahead of Kamala Harris in four major national polls. This change in momentum comes after Harris had maintained a lead in several surveys just weeks prior. The latest indications suggest that the competition is tightening, making the upcoming election more unpredictable than ever.
Multiple polls indicate that Trump now holds a slight lead over Harris for the first time since early August. The most recent Redfield and Wilton Strategies poll, conducted on October 21, shows Trump ahead by 2 points among 1,273 likely voters, with 47 percent to Harris' 45 percent. This marks a significant 4-point swing from the previous poll conducted on October 6, which had Harris leading by 2 points. However, it is important to note that Trump's lead falls within the margin of error of the survey, as did Harris' lead in the previous poll.
In another notable poll by Fox News, conducted between October 11 and 14, Trump also emerged with a 2-point lead, capturing 50 percent of the vote against Harris' 48 percent. This represents a 4-point swing from the previous month when Harris was leading Trump by 2 points, also within the margin of error. Additionally, the ActiVote poll from October 3-8 shows Trump holding a 2.2-point lead nationwide, following a previous poll where Harris had a slight advantage.
Looking at the NBC News poll conducted between October 4 and 8, the results showed a tie between Trump and Harris in a head-to-head matchup. However, when third-party candidates were factored in, Trump led Harris by 1 point within the margin of error. This is a notable change compared to a previous NBC poll in September, which had Harris leading Trump by 5 points.
The shifting dynamics suggest that as summer has turned into fall, any signs of momentum for Kamala Harris have dwindled, as Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt remarked. The race appears to be a dead heat as both candidates continue to vie for voter support leading up to the election.
While Trump's polling advantage has recently increased, FiveThirtyEight's tracker indicates that Harris is still ahead nationally by 1.7 points. Other recent polls from sources like YouGov and Morning Consult continue to show Harris with a lead of up to 4 points. This juxtaposition illustrates the unpredictability of the electoral landscape as we approach the decisive voting period.
