The vice president leads her Republican rival by half as much as President Joe Biden did in 2020, according to a new poll.
A poll released Thursday shows Vice President Kamala Harris holding a narrow lead over Donald Trump in the national race, but with a margin half the size of President Joe Biden's in 2020.An Emerson College Polling survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted between September 29 and October 1, found Harris holding a slight 2-point lead over Trump, with 50 percent support compared to Trump's 48 percent.
Biden won the 2020 election against Trump, securing 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232. He also captured more than 50 percent of the popular vote. However, winning the popular vote alone does not determine the presidency, as was the case in Clinton's 2016 run, rather, securing 270 or more Electoral College votes does.
