Kamala Harris closes in on Trump after Biden withdrawal: Poll

Published



Vice President Kamala Harris is virtually tied with former President Donald Trump, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Thursday, just days after President Joe Biden suspended his campaign.

In a hypothetical matchup among likely voters, Trump leads Harris, 48% to 47%, which is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. It is a noticeable improvement from when Biden trailed Trump by 6 percentage points during the July New York Times/Siena College poll when the president had a disastrous debate performance in late June.
