Vice President Kamala Harris has gained a competitive edge over former President Donald Trump in various polls following President Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading Trump by two points nationally, while a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll indicates a larger 7-point advantage for her. In key battleground states like Michigan and North Carolina, Harris is also polling ahead or narrowly trailing Trump, reflecting a significant shift in voter sentiment. Trump maintains strong support among conservatives, but Harris's appeal among independents and liberals may offset this advantage. Despite these trends, Trump's lead among independents remains notable, and national averages show a more mixed picture, with some surveys still favoring Trump. Overall, the evolving dynamics suggest an increasingly competitive race as the election approaches.
