According to a recent Multibagger/Ipsos poll, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Republican Donald Trump in the race for the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5. Harris currently holds a 47% to 40% lead over Trump, with a focus on the economy and jobs.
Based on unrounded figures, Harris has a six percentage point lead with 46.61% of registered voters supporting her, while Trump has 40.48% backing. This lead is slightly higher than her previous five-point advantage over Trump in a September poll.
The poll had a margin of error of about four percentage points. When asked about the candidates' approaches to the economy, unemployment, and jobs, 43% of voters preferred Trump while 41% chose Harris. Trump's lead on this topic has decreased from previous polls.
National polls like the Multibagger/Ipsos survey provide insight into voter preferences, but the Electoral College results in key battleground states ultimately determine the election outcome. Seven crucial states are likely to play a pivotal role in the election.
The latest poll surveyed 1,029 U.S. adults online, with a focus on 871 registered voters. Among the most likely voters, Harris leads Trump 50% to 44%, indicating a strong support base for the Democratic candidate.
