A new national poll is the latest to show former President Trump has a lead over Vice President Harris in the race to succeed President Biden in the White House.

Trump has 47% support among likely voters nationwide, with Harris at 45%, according to a Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday night — in a vote that also includes third-party and independent candidates.

That’s a change from the Journal’s previous national survey, conducted in late August, which showed Harris with a two-point lead.

The former president’s advantage is within the new study’s margin of error, meaning Trump or the vice president could potentially lead the race.

The Wall Street Journal poll – of 1,500 registered voters surveyed between October 19 and 22 – also shows Trump with a 3-point margin (49%-46%) over Harris in a head-to-head matchup.

The survey shows that views of Harris have become more negative since August, with her favorable rating 8 points underwater and her approval rating as vice president at 42%-54%. Meanwhile, views of Trump have improved, with voters approving of his past performance in the White House by a 52%-48% margin.

The new poll follows a Fox News national survey conducted Oct. 11-14 and released last week that showed the Republican presidential candidate with a two-point lead over the Democratic Party standard-bearer.

Many other national surveys in this area over the past two weeks, including polls from CBS News, Marist and USA Today/Suffolk University, have shown Harris with a narrow lead over Trump. But the polls are usually within the margin of error.

Harris replaced a faltering President Biden atop the Democrats’ 2024 ticket on July 21, immediately experiencing a fundraising surge and a surge in her poll numbers.

Harris had a lead over Trump in most national polls during the Democratic National Convention in late August and the first and only debate between the vice president and the former president in early September.

WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLS SHOW INTO THE HARRIS-TRUMP SHOWDOWN

But many national surveys conducted in late September and October indicate Trump is making gains at Harris’ expense.

The latest Fox News polls (Trump with 50% support and Harris with 48%) were a reversal from last month, when the vice president had the lead.

“Overall, the move toward Trump is subtle but potentially consequential, especially if he makes gains among college-educated voters,” said veteran Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who conducts Fox News polls with Republican Daron Shaw . “However, the race has been well within the margin of error for three months and the outcome will likely depend on which side is more effective at getting to the polls than persuading.”

While national polls are useful, the race for the White House is not based on the national popular vote but is instead a battle over the states and their electoral votes.

And the latest surveys in the seven crucial battleground states, whose razor-thin margins determined President Biden’s 2020 victory over Trump and will likely determine whether Harris or Trump wins the 2024 election, are largely within the margin of error.

The Fox News poll showed Harris with a six-point lead over Trump among respondents surveyed in all seven battleground states.

While polls point to a race within the margins, in the battle for campaign cash — another key metric in presidential politics — Harris is the clear frontrunner.
