Recent polling indicates a competitive race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, with Harris leading Trump 53-39% in New York according to a Siena College poll. However, a separate poll for DailyMail.com shows Trump holding a slight edge at 43% to Harris's 41%, highlighting the volatility of the race as Biden's exit reshapes dynamics. Harris has notably improved her favorability and consolidated support among Democrats and independent voters, especially among younger demographics. In battleground states, Harris leads or ties Trump, indicating a strategic advantage for Democrats, while Trump's support remains strong among his base. Analysts suggest that while Harris is gaining ground, Trump still holds advantages on key issues like the economy and immigration, making the upcoming election highly competitive. The outcome may hinge on Harris's ability to sway independent voters further before November.
