NPR/PBS News/Marist National Poll

In the 2024 presidential contest, Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Donald Trump by 3 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup among registered voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate. This marks a 4-point shift from late last month when Trump was +1 percentage point against Harris just after President Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Harris has made inroads among independents, Black voters, white voters with a college degree, women, and voters 35 years of age or older. Harris maintains her edge in the multi-candidate field, which includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, Cornel West, and Chase Oliver.
