- Vice President Harris failed to earn the usual post-Convention polling boost
Kamala Harris didn’t earn any boost in polling after the Democratic National Convention.
Usually the love fest of a political convention results in a surge for the party’s candidate – but this year yielded an exception for both the Republican and Democratic events.
The vice president’s odds are essentially the same now as they were before the DNC in Chicago two weeks ago, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released on Sunday.
Harris has 50 percent support among all adults and registered voters compared to 46 percent who say they would vote for Trump if the election were held today.
Vice President Kamala Harris still has a slight lead over Donald Trump – but failed to earn the post-Convention boost in polling
Her lead is 2 percent outside of the survey’s margin of error – but that small lead has historically meant little to nothing for candidates’ actual odds of victory in November.
The Democratic candidate also leads among likely voters.
Although the results are nearly identical to before the DNC, the gender gap preference has widened with women far preferring Harris over Trump – 54 percent to 41 percent.
