A recent New York Times poll gives Kamal Harris a slight lead over Donald Trump ahead of the next US presidential election.
A four weeks of the American presidential election, Kamala Harris took a slight lead of 3 points over Donald Trump, according to a New York Times poll. The Democratic vice-president collects 49% of voting intentions nationally, compared to 46% for his Republican rival.
The 59-year-old candidate notably performs a breakthrough with Republicans who are 9% to support it, according to this survey carried out with Siena College University.
Kamala Harris is trying to rally part of this electorate by betting that some moderate Republicans do not want a new presidency from the 78-year-old billionaire, known for his excesses.
The Democrat organized a campaign meeting last week with former Republican elected official Liz Cheney, repudiated by Donald Trump. She also reiterated her intention to appoint a Republican to her government if she were elected.
The latest opinion poll from the New York Times, published in mid-September, placed the two White House candidates in a perfect tie nationallyeach at 47%. The American presidential election, organized by indirect universal ballot, is however being played out in a handful of hotly contested states -where the candidates are neck and neck.
To carry out its opinion study, the New York Times questioned, between September 29 and October 6, 3,385 voters across the country. The margin of error is around 2.4 points.
