BREAKING: Kamala Harris Overtakes Trump in First Major Poll Since Biden Exit From Race

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading former President Donald Trump in the first major poll since President Joe Biden stepped down from his reelection campaign.

According to the latest data from Reuters/Ipsos, Harris is leading Trump in support, 44% to 42%, which falls within the survey’s three point margin of error, the latest suggestion the race between the vice president and former president will be close.

One major question in November’s race will be the effect of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , an independent presidential candidate still working on gaining ballot access. Pundits have debated back and forth whether Kennedy Jr. would pull more from the Democrats, his former party, or Republicans. When Kennedy Jr. is included in a three way race in the Ipsos poll, Harris’s advantage over Trump climbs five points, with Harris getting 42% support and Trump dropping to 38%. Kennedy Jr. scores 8% support in that three way race.

The poll also shows that 56% of registered voters believe Harris is “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.” This follows Biden exiting the raise as allies within his own party raised concerns about his stamina and age. Only 22% of voters called Biden “mentally sharp” and Trump also lagged behind Harris, scoring 49%.

The Reuters poll was conducted online among more than 1,200 adults, more than 1,000 of them registered voters.

Reuters had measured the popularity of Harris compared to Trump before, with the pair scoring an even 44% and Trump leading the vice president by one point in earlier July polls. The latest polling marks an improvement for Harris who has trailed Trump in a number of recent polls. Harris has already secured the needed amount of delegates to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination and been endorsed by party leaders, including Biden. The latest Reuters poll was conducted after Biden exited the race on Sunday.
