U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is leading her Republican opponent Donald Trump by 4% ahead of the presidential elections.
This is supported by data from a PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
It is noted that the survey was conducted from October 31 to November 2 among 1,297 likely voters with a margin of error of 3.5%. The data indicates that among potential voters, 51% support Harris, while 47% back Trump.
The study also revealed a significant reduction in the gender gap ahead of the elections. According to the poll, men are more inclined to support Trump, with 51% backing him compared to 47% for Harris. Among women, Harris has also lost some support, and her lead now stands at 11%, down from 18% earlier.
These figures are reminiscent of the 2020 election results when Joe Biden secured 51% of the votes, while Trump received 47%.
Additionally, 55% of likely voters have already cast their ballots, and one-third plan to do so on election day. Among respondents, 49% believe Trump will win, while 46% think Harris will emerge victorious.
Among those who have voted, Harris leads with 56% against Trump’s 42%, whereas among those who have yet to vote, 53% support Trump, and 45% support Harris.
The U.S. presidential elections will take place on Tuesday, November 5.
It is worth noting that as of Sunday, November 3, more than 75 million voters have already cast their ballots ahead of election day in the U.S. This represents over 48% of the total turnout in the 2020 elections.
As is known, one of the latest polls indicated that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is ahead of Trump in four key states leading up to the elections.
She has also managed to gain favor among likely voters in Iowa, where the Republican previously had a significant advantage in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
