Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in voter turnout

According to RT on August 3, data from a survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports showed that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by 5 percentage points in polls.

According to the survey, 49% of respondents said they would vote for Trump, while 44% would vote for Harris. Another 4% would vote for another candidate, and 2% were undecided. The survey was conducted on July 24-25 and 28-31 with 2,163 US voters who declared their intention to vote in the presidential election.

Rasmussen Report noted that in the agency's previous poll from July 22 to 24, Mr. Trump led Ms. Harris by 7 percentage points — 50% to 43%.

Earlier, The Washington Post reported that Republican Vice Presidential candidate JDVance said that President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race and his replacement Kamala Harris had complicated the situation for the Democratic Party.

The Washington Post also noted that in public statements, Mr. Trump and his campaign team emphasized that replacing candidate Biden with Kamala Harris would not change the outcome of the race, because the vice president was also responsible for the White House's policies that caused discontent among voters.

Vice President Harris has not yet been formally nominated as the Democratic Party's nominee. The party's National Committee previously said that a vote on the issue could be held as early as August 7 in an online format. The New York Times noted that in this case, the Democratic National Convention scheduled for August 19-22 in Chicago would be transformed into a ceremonial event. Previously, the media reported that Ms. Harris had received enough votes to become the Democratic candidate.

It is worth noting that in the first poll after President Biden dropped out of the race, conducted by Ipsos and Reuters, Ms. Harris led Mr. Trump by 44% - 42%. And the next poll by The Wall Street Journal showed Mr. Trump leading by 49% - 47%.
