Harris Leads in Latest Poll

After Biden Endorsement, Harris Sees Slight Bump

Vice President Kamala Harris has opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican challenger Donald Trump in the latest national CBS News/YouGov poll. The poll, conducted after the assassination attempt on Trump, found that 45% of likely voters would vote for Harris, while 43% would vote for Trump.

Significance

The poll is the first to show Harris leading Trump since Biden endorsed her candidacy. It suggests that the Biden endorsement may have given Harris a boost in the polls. The poll also found that Harris's lead is within the margin of error, so the race is still too close to call.
