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. ***

BS! Black males love Trump, and I keep hearing Hispanics love him more. I’m betting Black female majority votes for Trump. Someone said they’re voting Trump, in order to keep their kids from being drafted to fight in Ukraine.
LOL, nonsequitur. That can mean 85 percent raging liberals.
“Oh come on now, people aren’t that stupid.”

Well... they may not be stupid... but they are clearly not thinking enough. The result is about the same.
Fox Poll, Harris surging.
In other news Fox just called Arizona for Harris
The low information voter don’t live and breathe politics like we do.
******************
Agreed. I know I’m gonna get flamed for saying this, but Ima big boy.
I didn’t look at when this poll was taken, but I think the whole pet eating stuff is hurting Trump. It was dumb to bring it up. The LIV sees 24/7 coverage on the news about Trump lying about those dear innocent Haitians eating pets. With zero counter points being given. The LIV doesn’t get an opposite opinion like we do.
So.....FIGHT harder!
FoxNews runs Harris ads. I loathe those. She lies so much in those. I’m impressed Trump picked the perfect moniker for her: Lyin’ Kamala.
Just half? I’d say 2/3 are looney and/or blithering idiots.
That’s how a liberal would see the country.
I stopped paying attention to political polls about the same time I stopped watching Fox News in 2008.
More lies. Fox has more in store.
Yes they are. They are dalled Democrats.
EXACTLY!
Hogwash and the sink hole..............
Harris needs a 7 point lead in the national polls to win in November.
We need at least two things, a better group of citizens and somebody to vote for that isn't a politician.
Trump at 48% in a national poll is actually very good. He’s never hit that number in a general election. That being said this poll is pretty much garbage. The sampling methodology is obviously very poor if you’re getting wild sub group variations. The only thing I can conclude from all of the trash polls over the last few weeks is that RFK jr really did help Trump. He’s much more often in the higher end of the 40s whereas before he was consistently mid 40s. Register your friends and get out to the polls. Help to bank early votes. Trump’s appeal much be very broad when you consider how badly He’s still losing CA and IL
And even without the law against stupidity, the jails are overflowing and there is a waiting line to get in.
