Harris vs. Trump latest presidential poll: 7-point turnaround gives surging candidate big national lead

Coming off what one pollster called the "best polling" of her short campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off a new week with another strong showing as she continues to surge ahead of Donald Trump .

An NBC News poll , which dropped Sunday, reveals Harris has coaxed a double-digit increase in popularity and rising voter enthusiasm that has rocketed her ahead of Trump nationally in the reshuffled the 2024 presidential contest, according to a new national NBC News poll .

Of course, the presidential race is decided by the Electoral College, which means that a handful of states is likely to decide the election.

According to NBC:

And in a contest between a sitting vice president and an ex-president, featuring an electorate that overwhelmingly thinks the U.S. is "on the wrong track," Harris has the upper hand on which candidate better represents change and which candidate can get the country headed in the right direction.

On Thursday, CNN data reporter Harry Enten discussed recent polling that has been released from Quinnipiac University, The New York Times, Franklin & Marshall and Marist College. He said on CNN that the polling shows the swing state of Pennsylvania leaning toward Harris as the two candidates compete for the must-win state.

Enten showed an aggregate of polling in the Great Lake battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that show Harris with a narrow lead in all three states. He said that Harris can get to 270 electoral votes if she wins those three states.
