Donald Trump Overtakes Kamala Harris in Four National Polls
Newsweek ^ | OCT 23, 2024 | Martha McHardy

Posted on 10/23/2024 7:06:48 PM PDT by lasereye

Donald Trump has pulled ahead of Kamala Harris in four major national polls as the competition tightens in the final stretch before the election.

After trailing Harris in several surveys just weeks ago, multiple polls show Trump now has a slight lead over his opponent for the first time since early August.

The latest Redfield and Wilton Strategies poll, conducted on October 21, put Trump 2 points ahead among 1,273 likely voters, on 47 percent to Harris' 45 percent, in a 4 point swing from its previous national poll, conducted on October 6, which showed Harris with a 2 point lead. However, although the latest poll showed Trump ahead, his lead was still within the survey's margin of error. Harris' lead in the October 6 poll was also within the margin of error.

A Fox News poll, conducted between October 11 and 14 among 1,110 registered voters and 870 likely voters, also showed that Trump had overtaken Harris with a 2 point lead, on 50 percent to her 48 percent. That is a 4-point swing from when Harris was leading Trump by 2 points a month ago.

Additionally, the latest ActiVote poll, conducted from October 3-8, showed Donald Trump holding a 2.2-point lead nationwide. That came after a previous poll from ActiVote, conducted between September 25 and October 2, had Harris ahead by 1.4 point.

Meanwhile, in the latest national NBC News poll, conducted between October 4 and 8 among 1,000 registered voters, Trump and Harris were tied in a head-to-head matchup, but Trump lead Harris by 1 point when third party candidates were included.

That's a change from September's NBC News poll, which found Harris leading Trump by 5 points, 49 percent-44 percent in a head-to-head matchup. When third party candidates were included, Harris lead by 6 points.

NBC poll is over 2 weeks old - and was REGISTERED voters? Absolutely meaningless at this stage.

Someone posted that Halpernin said a Wall Street Journal poll will be released tomorrow showing DJT with a 4pt lead.

RCP National polling average has dropped to .2% Harris lead. That is the narrowest spread since Aug 5th.

I trust no polls. They don’t factor in fraud.

Did they poll any of the millions of illegals who might have registered to vote?

Sorry, but averaging in garbage polls still smells.

I was going to say, these are some relatively old polls. I’m betting any recent polling would be worse for Harris/Walz than these numbers.

STFU troll. We all know who and what you are and nobody pays a bit of attention to anything you have to say.

You have been identified and will be exposed each and every time you post your putrid swill.

I was responding to someone quoting Harris’ lead in RCP, which is a joke. RCP averages in polls that are garbage and always in the favor of the DEMs. Harris is not in the lead at this point, but RCP doesn’t show that. It’s had Harris in the lead ever since the DNC. Sheesh.

This is SERIOUSLY bad news for the Harris campaign.

This upcoming Election Night could end up being my favorite ever, and that’s saying a lot, after 2016.

So, we’ve have 2 or 3 Oct Surprise duds on Trump already. Harris sounds and acts like she’s behind. The media sound like they think she is behind. We’ll see how it shakes out.

If they don’t start prepping those with TDS ahead of November 5th, it will be a real real bad night for ‘helpline’ workers... Because those poor people will need some serious help. They’ve been eating up this MSM BS for the past 8 years. Finding out that Trump will be their President again is going to break a lot of them, and they’ve been whipped into such a frenzy of hate, that they may never recover from the shock.

One thing surprisingly missing is there is no drumming up of unrest ala George Floyd stuff. That creates much greater division than just some nothing rumors against Trump.
