This November will Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump? Here's what latest poll reveals

Democrat presumptive candidate Kamala Harris has again taken a lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump in an opinion poll. In the latest survey held on August 12, 2024, she has a 2.4-point lead over Trump in the latest average of national polls, collated by 'FiveThirtyEight', reports 'The Independent'. In the survey, 'Morning Consult' contacted 11,778 registered voters and it found a 3-point lead for Harris. Harris has not trailed behind Trump in any of the opinion polls held since she chose Tuim Walz as her running mate for the US Presidential Election 2024. Though Trump's campaign is trying to paint the results of these surveys as a "honeymoon period", Kamala Harris has taken a lead over Trump in almost all the polls held after President Joe Biden stepped aside and endorsed her for the top position.
