Seven national polls conducted since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and was replaced by Kamala Harris have shown the Democrats’ lead has been cut in half.

The change is about bringing back disillusioned voters to 81-year-old Biden, Bloomberg reports.
A month ago, Biden had the support of only 59% of black voters, while Harris now has 69%. She also increased support among Hispanic voters from 45% to 57% and young voters from 46% to 56%.
Also, according to an Emerson College poll, Harris has a higher rating of 3-4 percentage points in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin than Biden has in previous polls.
In elections, the main thing is to ensure the maximum number of your fans. In the case of the United States, especially in the contested states. Because in 2020, Biden won thanks to the high turnout of the Democratic electorate, which gave him a minimal advantage in the contested states. The results of recent polls show that Harris is gradually returning the Democratic voter, but we will see how the electoral situation will change further.
While less than a month ago only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about his candidacy, now 81% of Harris voters said they were enthusiastic.
Much has changed for Trump, who officially became the Republican nominee at the convention last week, in the last month of voting. His approval ratings have risen since the failed assassination attempt on July 13, but the post-convention “bounce” that candidates had expected after accepting their party’s nomination has been overshadowed by Biden’s decision to drop out of the race.
The Trump campaign tried to downplay the change, warning that Democrats would get a “Harris honeymoon” in the polls.
