Kamala Harris has taken an eight percentage point lead over Donald Trump, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by Marquette Law School between July 24 and August 1, shows that Harris is leading among likely voters on 50 percent to Trump’s 42 percent. Harris has also improved the Democrats’ position since May, when Trump was leading on 44 percent to Joe Biden’s 41 percent.
Meanwhile, Harris is also leading among registered voters on 47 percent, to Trump’s 41 percent. In Marquette Law School’s last poll in May, Trump was three points ahead of Biden among registered voters, securing 40 percent of the vote to the president’s 37 percent.
The poll surveyed 879 registered voters and 683 likely voters, and had a margin of error of +/- four percent.
