Trump lead over Biden/Harris jumped after RNC- HarrisX/Forbes poll
According to a recent HarrisX/Forbes poll, Republican candidate Donald Trump has increased his lead over Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race following his official nomination at the Republican National Convention. The survey, conducted from July 19-21 with 2,753 registered voters, revealed that Trump now leads by six percentage points, with 54% support compared to Biden and Harris’ 47%. This marks a two-point increase in Trump’s lead since the previous poll conducted from July 13-15.
The impact of Biden dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris remains uncertain as the poll was conducted before these developments. While Harris has garnered endorsements from key figures within the Democratic party, she still needs to be officially nominated at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in August and select a running mate. The approval rating for Biden and Harris was reported at 38% in the HarrisX/Forbes poll.
Trump lead widens after shooting, debate
At the recent Republican National Convention, Trump was formally declared as the leading candidate for the party’s presidential nomination, with former President selecting Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential running mate.
Recent polls indicated that Trump had a slight advantage over Biden and Harris following a lackluster debate performance by Biden in June, prompting suggestions for him to withdraw from the race.
Trump’s lead expanded after an unsuccessful assassination attempt on him in July, where a bullet narrowly missed his ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
During his acceptance speech at the RNC, Trump recounted the incident and criticized Biden and the Democratic Party while expressing optimism about winning the 2024 election.
In response to Biden’s withdrawal, Trump told journalists that he believes defeating Harris will be easier.
