As the 2024 general election approaches, former President Donald Trump has seen a significant drop in support in national polls over the past month. Early voting is set to begin in some states, adding to the urgency of the campaign. Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by up to 5 points, a sharp reversal from Trump’s lead just a few months ago.
Key demographics, including young people, persons of color, and low-income households, have shifted towards Harris, according to a Suffolk University poll. Trump’s support among these groups has decreased significantly since Harris entered the race. Additionally, a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading Trump among registered voters by at least four points.
Other polls, including those by the Wall Street Journal and Quinnipiac University, show Trump trailing Harris by one point. RealClearPolitics averages show Harris leading Trump in a multi-candidate field by 2.3 points. Trump has not been this far behind in polling in over a year.
The upcoming debate between Trump and Harris on Sept. 10 will be crucial as events like this could have a significant impact on the race. With Biden stepping aside for Harris, the dynamics of the race have shifted, and it remains uncertain who will come out on top in November. Despite Trump’s previous lead, Harris now holds the advantage in current polling averages.
