Harris Leads Trump in Key Polls, Gains Momentum

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading former President Donald Trump in several recent polls, particularly among young voters and independents. A Voters of Tomorrow poll shows Harris leading Trump by 32 points among 18- to 29-year-olds in key battleground states, and a Morning Consult poll indicates Harris is ahead by 4 points nationally, with independents favoring her 42% to 38%. The Obamas have endorsed Harris, emphasizing her policies on affordable housing, healthcare, and job training, while criticizing Trump for his divisive tactics. Despite her avoidance of mainstream media and criticisms regarding policy coherence, Harris’s campaign is gaining momentum, especially among young and diverse voters. Some media outlets and opponents continue to highlight her controversial positions, such as her support for a bail fund criticized for freeing a criminal who committed murder.
