Harris Takes the Lead: A Shift in the Political Landscape

In recent polls, a striking shift has taken place in the 2024 presidential election, with Vice President Kamala Harris surpassing former President Donald Trump by 2 percentage points. This significant shift is notable, particularly among independent voters, who now favor Harris by 12 points. In the past, Trump had a 1-point advantage among registered voters, but Harris has now taken the lead.This development is not without its roots. The Democratic National Convention in August provided a boost to Harris's campaign, and her policy proposals have resonated with a wide range of demographic groups. Her character and stance on key issues have earned her support from politicians, celebrities, and everyday Americans. Trump's camp has faced a series of challenges, including a second assassination attempt and the exit of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential race. Despite these setbacks, Trump remains a strong contender, especially among his core supporters.
