Quinnipiac poll finds Harris with 2-point lead over Trump after convention

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are neck and neck in a new survey following the Democratic National Convention.

The Quinnipiac University poll found Harris with 49 percent of support among likely voters, giving her a 2-point lead over Trump who received 47 percent of support.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver each received 1 percent of support, according to the poll.

In a two-way race, Harris received 49 percent of the vote while Trump received 48 percent.

“Conventions done, debates in the planning, rhetoric getting rougher, there’s a slight numerical difference, but it is essentially a tie as the presidential race roars toward November 5th,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a press release.

The poll found that slightly more Democrats supported Harris than Republicans supported Trump.

Among Democrats, 98 percent said they support Harris while 94 percent of Republicans support Trump. Independent respondents were evenly split, with Harris and Trump each receiving 45 percent.

Quinnipiac also noted that there was a significant gender gap, with Harris having a 21-point lead over Trump among women and Trump holding an 18-point lead over Harris among men.

This poll comes as other recent polls show Harris with a slight edge over Trump.

The new Emerson College/The Hill poll showed the vice president narrowly ahead of Trump in the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan and Nevada. A separate poll from Fox News also showed Harris leading Trump in three of the four key Sun Belt states: Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.

The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling average shows Harris with nearly a 4-point lead over Trump, according to the aggregate of 145 polls.

The results for the Quinnipiac University poll were based on responses from 1,611 likely voters taken Aug. 23-27. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
