Vice President Kamala Harris continues to hold slightly more voter support than former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race, according to the latest Monmouth University Poll.
The poll finds 49% of registered voters say they will either definitely or probably vote for Harris in November while 44% say they will definitely or probably support Trump. Those numbers are virtually unchanged, up one point from Monmouth’s last poll in August after Harris was named to the top of the Democratic ticket.
“She didn’t get a huge jump from the debate, and we all saw that performance and the verdict was pretty clear on her winning that,” Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in an interview with NJ Spotlight News. “But by the same token, she got a huge jump in enthusiasm when she announced and she’s holding on to that enthusiasm, and I think it’s a sign of just simply how divided our electorate is. There’s not a lot of movement to be had.”
