2024 Presidential Race: Harris vs. Trump

Harris Leads in Polls

According to recent polling data, Vice President Kamala Harris has a significant lead over former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race. The Economist's poll tracker shows Harris leading Trump by an average of 5.5 percentage points.

Improved Democratic Prospects

This lead is a major improvement for Democrats compared to where President Joe Biden's numbers had been. Biden's approval ratings were consistently low, and he was trailing Trump in most polls. Harris's strong performance in the polls has boosted Democrats' hopes of retaining the White House in 2024.
