Two polls have US Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican Donald Trump by significant numbers.
Harris is leading Trump 47% to 40% in the race to win the November 5 US presidential election, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published today found.
Harris had a lead of six percentage points based on unrounded figures – which showed her with support from 46.61% of registered voters while Trump was backed by 40.48%, according to the three-day poll that closed on Monday. The Democrat’s lead was slightly higher than her five-point advantage over Trump in a Sept 11-12 Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Meanwhile, Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump by 5 points in a new NBC News poll, marking a major shift in the 2024 presidential race. The poll, released Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, shows Harris with 49% support compared to Trump’s 44%, a 7-point swing from the network’s July poll when Trump led by 2 points.
“The race has been completely reshaped!” NBC News political analyst Steve Kornacki said while presenting the findings. Kornacki attributed Harris’s rise to a dramatic increase in her popularity. In July, only 32% of voters had a favorable view of the vice president. However, the new poll shows her favorability rating soaring to 48%, a gain Kornacki described as historic.
Despite the positive news for Harris and the Democratic Party, Kornacki pointed out a silver lining for Trump, who remains competitive in key areas. He compared the current race to the 2020 election, where Trump came close to winning the Electoral College, even though he trailed in national polls.
“In 2020, Trump was the incumbent president, and 60% of people thought the country was on the wrong track. Now, Harris is part of an incumbent administration, and two-thirds say the country is on the wrong track,” Kornacki explained.
Though Harris currently holds a lead, Kornacki emphasized that Trump, now the challenger, could still have a path to victory, especially given the ongoing dissatisfaction with the direction of the country.
“Trump is pretty much in the same place, a little bit worse in terms of views of him as 2020, but certainly in the Electoral College within reach for him,” Kornacki said.

Thank you!! These are liberal polling databases…
Harris surges to a 7 point lead. Really, “SAYS WHO” the fake news media? If you go on youtube some polls say Trump is ahead. I don’t want to believe that the American people are so stupid and gullible to elect someone whose only accomplishment is to sound like a drunk cheerleader and can rile up the crowd. What has she ever accomplished? She flipped-flopped on at least 6 or 7 major policy issues since she was anointed. Almost everything she promised to do could have been done in the last 3 years.
Trump OBLITERATES Harris In NYT’s current POLL! The only poll that matters is at the ballot box.
LOL are you really going to post this poll from NBC News????!!!
Almost every other poll has Trump either in the lead or within one point from Harris.. I don’t know where in heavens you found these bozos who never had Trump in the lead, only once Harris is in the lead they show you that at one point Trump was in the lead
b”h
Trump should try to address issues that work in his favor, and stay away from teasing, insulting and putting his foot in his mouth.
Time to get your families passports. If she wins, I think this country will seriously go from bad to worse, almost certainly for Jews.
GOOD FOR HER AND GOOD FOR AMERICA!!!
Yes democrats
Believe trump is the underdog
It will serve you well
Rcp has her 2.1 ahead in general polling and Trump in the lead in battleground states by 0.2
You find one extreme poll to make a silly headline.
The populate vote will be close, but Trump will easily win the electoral college.
your news is pure bologna!
Just like Hillary was for sure winning?? Madaam president.
Who cares. Hashem is in charge whoever shall win will win
Sorry YWN. Meanwhile, (if Trump himself doesn’t ruin it), it seems that Trump is going to win both the popular vote and the electoral collage in a possible landslide. For sure by a big margin.
After I posted, I saw a clip from Bill O’Reilly he showed how this and other polls that show a Harris lead are skewed in favor of Harris by simply polling more women than men. Since women lean towards Harris.
Whoever is happy about this, has to check their yichus! Maybe you don’t count for a minyan, as you are promoting a toeiva candidate. How any “frum” Jew can support this machsheifah is beyond my comprehension!!
Surprise. Surprise. Americans are not interested in paying crazy tariffs on all imports. Americans are not interested in a president who lies about Haitians eating dogs and blames Jews for his impending loss. Iyh this election is the end of Trumpism.
Classic YWN trying to find headlines. If Lakewood got up and did what they did for Avi the Schnall Trump will take New Jersey. So YWN instead of inciting fear that SCAMala the evil jew hating witch will win, maybe promote that the oilam should get up and vote!
Trump will go down to dramatic defeat. Mark Robinson will be sad. Nick Fuentes will be sad. Kanye will be sad. David Duke will be sad. Tucker Carlson will be sad. Candace Owens wll be sad. The very fine people in Charlottesville will be sad. But America will rejoice to rid itself of the poison of MAGA. A reborn Reagan Conservatism will rise from the rubble heap of Trumpism.
I am just not understanding. Maybe I do not understand what the halachic status of abortion is. But I always thought that is murder unless the fetus becomes a rodef after the mother’s life. It seems by implication that HaKodesh Boruch Hu equates abortion with murder. But that is only my understanding.
If that would be so, how can any Jew conscientiously support or even be slightly happy if Kamala Harris might ר”ל win the elections?
וסדום ועמורה צהלה ושמחה ר״ל

levi365248 – Donald Trump opposes the Florida 6 week abortion ban. Donald Trump is fine with states allowing abortion. Please do not confuse the positions of Donald Trump regarding abortion with the Halacha of our Heiligeh Torah. In any case there are instances when abortion is allowed and the decisions need to be made by a posek and not by some politician or or leaders of other religions.
