According to a recently released Fox News poll, former President Donald Trump is now two points ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris nationally — Trump’s best number since Harris became the nominee.
The poll is a reversal from last month when Harris had a narrow advantage.
From Fox News:
Harris, however, is ahead by 6 points among voters from the seven key battleground states, and the candidates are tied at 49% each among voters in close counties (where the Biden-Trump 2020 margin was less than 10 points). Trump’s advantage comes from a larger share in counties he won by more than 10 points in 2020 (64%-35%) than Harris has in counties Biden won by more than 10 points (58%-39%).
That raises the question of whether the Democrat could win the Electoral College while losing the national popular vote. In 2000 and 2016, it was the GOP candidate who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.
The two-point lead is still well within the margin of error. Still a nail-biter.
