Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, as more voters see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class, and Hispanics and independents swing in her direction.
The new Fox News national survey finds a 3 percentage-point shift among registered voters in the 2024 presidential contest since mid-August. Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50%-48%. For reference, in July, Trump was ahead by 1 point over President Biden. Each of those differences falls within the margin of error.
This marks the first time Harris has hit 50% support, and the trial ballot result is identical among both registered and likely voters. That’s unsurprising given most Americans who are willing to spend time answering a political survey are also probably going to vote.
***
The biggest change since last month is that independents and Hispanics have swung Harris’ way. Hispanics favored Trump by 6 points in August, but they go for Harris by 12 points today. Independents went for Trump by 8 points last month, but now prefer Harris by 12. It is important to remember that estimates among small subgroups are more volatile and tend to swing more than others, and that applies here.***
Harris’ strongest backing comes from Black voters, urban voters, those under age 30, voters 65 and over, college graduates and women. She’s narrowly ahead in union households, a group that Biden won by low double-digits. Her numbers also still trail his 2020 pre-election numbers a bit among Blacks and young voters. ***

Oh come on now, people aren’t that stupid.
Fox polling always leans heavily left. Heavily.
Harris is dominating and controlling the air war / living room campaign. A repeat of 2020. Harris ads on many media outlets with zero presence from Trump - again.
Yeah, so what? It’s a Fox poll.
I think we are overreacting to worthless FNC polls. Just a little while ago it was a toss up. WT*?
Here in Las Vegas, there are more Trump commercials than Kamala commercials. Perhaps it’s where you live.
The true poll is one that determines the electorate likely to vote.
As my Dominican Attorney friend used to say, “If there was a law against stupid, the jails would be overflowing”
Hispanics swing 18 points and independents 24 points from Trump to Harris in a month? Yeah, right FOX.
The low information voter don’t live and breathe politics like we do. We are the minority. The LIV watches a debate (because it overlaps with their favorite tv show), watches an ad or two …. and gets easily swayed. One day this candidate. Another day another candidate.
That nitwit is not ahead. TV ads and all. Ignore FOX.
If anyone believes there is an 18 pt shift they are either stupid or a troll
Really? I just read the 19 pages of Fox poll results and methodology and it looks like 42% of those polled were Democrats and 43% were Republicans.
Horsehockey.
I’m not so sure about that anymore. I’m beginning to believe that the current pandemic is “stupidity”. Highly contagious apparently.
This is FOX trying to sound neutral.
It’s like they’re trying to invite her for a town-hall or get her to do a debate on FOX.
No way in the real world that FOX believes that Kamala is the equal to Trump; not in the polls and not in electability.
But, ok, convince her to do a debate on FOX.
They’ve been heavily left wing for at least two decades…there are more ways to skew samples than just party ID…if we even believe what they state to begin with.

Where have you been?
Half the country is retarded. This isn't Reagan's America and hasn't been for a long time.
