WASHINGTON: Kamala Harris has taken a slim lead over Donald Trump in their bitterly contested US presidential race, according to a new poll released on Tuesday which shows the Democrat gaining support among Republican voters.
With four weeks to go before election day on November 5, Vice President Harris and former president Trump are essentially deadlocked as they scramble to get out the vote and reach the sliver of Americans who remain undecided.
The national poll conducted by Siena College and The New York Times found Harris ahead by 49 percent to 46 percent, with registered voters crediting the Democratic nominee more than Trump with representing change and caring about people like themselves, but giving the edge to Trump on who is the stronger leader.
The rivals were tied at 47 percent in a mid-September Times/Siena poll shortly after the two clashed in their presidential debate.
The overall result is largely in line with an aggregate of national polling collated by RealClearPolitics.com, which has Harris ahead by two percentage points.
