The latest national polling from ABC News/Ipsos shows Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow lead over former President Donald Trump among likely voters.
Forty-nine percent support Harris, compared with 46% who support Trump. That’s similar to a previous ABC News/Ipsos poll released last weekend, which showed Harris at 51% nationally to Trump’s 47%.
Likely voters are broadly dissatisfied with their choices, according to the ABC/Ipsos poll. Sixty percent say they are at least somewhat dissatisfied with Harris and Trump as the major-party candidates for president this year — with nearly three-quarters saying the country is on the wrong track (74%).
Perceptions of how the candidates would change things differ widely. A narrow majority (51%) say Trump would “shake things up in a bad way” if elected, while just 31% say Harris would do the same. Still, more see Trump’s brand of change as shaking things up in a good way than say Harris (45% for Trump compared with 35% for Harris). A sizable 34% say Harris would “leave things pretty much as they are.” A scant 4% of likely voters think things would remain as they are should Trump win Tuesday’s election.
More likely voters nationwide say Harris than Trump has contacted them to ask for their vote (45% say Harris has, 40% that Trump has); among likely voters in the seven key battleground states, 67% say they’ve heard from Harris’ campaign, 60% from Trump’s.
With the results of the new poll incorporated, the latest CNN Poll of Polls average of recent high-quality national polling of likely voters finds that 48% of likely voters nationwide back Harris and 47% support Trump, unchanged from the previous average.
