Kamala Harris Increases Popularity Lead Over Trump With Extra Support of Women, Hispanics

A Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Thursday, Democrat Kamala Harris was found to be leading Republican Donald Trump 45% to 41% adding pace to the presidential race ahead of the Nov 5 election.

The 4 percentage point advantage among registered voters was wider than a 1-point lead Harris held over the former President in a late July Reuters/Ipsos poll.

This recent poll hinted that Kamala was increasing her support among women and Hispanics. Harris led Trump by 49% to 36% — or 13 percentage points — among both women voters and Hispanic voters.

Some 73% of Democratic registered voters in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they were more excited about voting in November after Harris entered the race. And while a March Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 61% respondents who intended to vote for Biden were doing so mainly to stop Trump.

The poll was conducted across the US and responses were gathered from 4,253 US adults, including 3,562 registered voters.
