Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly has a slim lead over former President Donald Trump in a national poll released by Emerson College one month before the 2024 presidential election.
Harris has a 50% to 48% edge over Trump among national voters in the Emerson poll for the month of October, while 1% of respondents claim they support someone else and another 1% remain undecided. The vice president had previously held a 2% advantage in the Emerson poll for the month of September.
“The margin between the candidates has stayed the same since early September, when Harris held 49% and Trump 47%,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “Harris maintains a slight edge, though less than [President Joe] Biden’s four-point lead in Emerson 2020 national polls at this time.”
Harris has reportedly split voters on favorability at 50%, while 49% of respondents view Trump as favorable and 51% see him as unfavorable. Both vice presidential candidates were reported to have had 46% favorability ratings, respectively, prior to Tuesday’s (October 1) debate, though Tim Walz had a 46% unfavorable view and 9% of respondents said they hadn’t heard of him, while JD Vance had a 48% unfavorable view and 6% of respondents claimed they’d never heard of him.
