Washington DC - With only 87 days left until election day, a new poll shows Kamala Harris in the lead in the 2024 presidential race against Donald Trump.

An update from FiveThirtyEight, which compiles various polls conducted around the country to determine a national average, shows Harris leading her rival by two points.

Harris has been aggressively campaigning since becoming the Democratic candidate, and it appears to be working in some swing states, as she is now beating Trump in Pennsylvania by 1.1 point, Wisconsin by 1.8, and Michigan by two.

Trump, who has been campaigning sparsely in comparison, is maintaining a hold on some battleground states, such as North Carolina,

While Harris' lead may appear slim, it indicates a huge shift in fortunes since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her to as his replacement.

Trump was previously leading Biden in most states across the country by significant margins. Harris and her recently chosen running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have reinvigorated the party and its base.

Though Trump's campaign has been appearing to struggle in recent weeks, the Republican confidently told a crowd in Montana on Friday night that he believes Harris will be "easier to beat" than Biden come November 5.
