Harris slices Trump’s national lead in half: New polling average. Vice President Harris halved former President Trump’s 2024 lead in a newly relaunched national polling average that replaces President Biden with Harris as Trump’s likely Democratic opponent.
The first iteration of Cook Political Report’s (CPR) new average, relaunched on Wednesday, shows Trump leading Harris by 1.3 points — 47.5 percent support to 46.2 percent. In the previous polling average, on July 21, Trump was leading Biden by 2.7 points — 47.4% support to 44.7%.
The relaunched polling average includes 15 surveys of hypothetical Harris-Trump head-to-head match-ups conducted in the last 60 days. The polls are weighted by how recently they were conducted, according to CPR.
