Harris catches Trump in national polling average with popular vote up for grabs as Trump still leads Electoral College

Vice President Kamala Harris has caught up to former President Donald Trump in the latest national polling average compiled by RealClearPolling. com, 47 percent to 46.8 percent.

This comes afterTrump had been leading the average against President Joe Biden since Sept. 2023, but Democrats dumped Biden, nominated Harris, and appear to have reconsolidated the Democratic base, giving Harris an edge in the national polling.

The implication is that the national popular vote—which is what national polls measure—is up for grabs. Republicans have not won the popular vote in a presidential election since 2004, when George W. Bush was reelected.
