Kamala Harris vs Joe Biden

Vice President Kamala Harris currently leads former President Donald Trump by 14 points among likely New York voters, with a recent Siena College poll showing her at 53% compared to Trump's 39%. This marks a significant improvement from President Biden's previous 8-point lead over Trump in June. Harris's favorability has risen to 53%, contrasting with Trump's 39% favorable rating, and she has gained strong support from Democratic and independent voters. In a broader six-way race, Harris still leads Trump 49% to 37%. The shift in voter sentiment follows Biden's withdrawal from the race, which has allowed Harris to rally significant support. Notably, Harris performs better than Biden among key demographics, including women and black voters, indicating a potential positive impact on down-ballot races in the upcoming election.
