Former President and Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has held a narrow one-point lead over the Democratic challenger Kamala Harris in A new national poll by New York Times and Siena College.
A survey of nearly 1,700 voters shows support Both candidates— Trump at 48 percent and Vice President Harris at 47 percent — within a three-point margin of error, indicating a virtual dead heat.
The breakdowns show factors that can benefit both candidates. A majority of registered voters, 56 percent, said Trump would be a better economic steward and 51 rated the current economic situation as poor. Also, 60 percent of likely voters said the next holder of the Oval Office should represent a significant change from President Joe Biden — just 25 percent said Harris represented that change, while 53 percent said Trump did.
On the other hand, 63 percent of voters said they were aware of Project 2025, an arch-conservative policy document that would attack abortion and education rights and has extensive ties to Trump officials. The former president has tried to distance himself from the document, but 71 percent of people who said they’ve heard of Project 2025 believe Trump will try to enact some of its policies.
Harris also has an advantage for potential growth in this week’s presidential debate: 28 percent of likely voters said they need to know more about him, while just nine percent said the same about Trump.
