Vice President Harris and former President Trump are neck and neck nationally, according to a new poll from CBS News/YouGov.
The poll, conducted from Oct. 8 to 11, found Harris ahead of Trump by 3 percentage points, with the vice president garnering 51 percent support from registered voters to Trump’s 48 percent.
Harris and Trump are now less than a month away from Election Day, following a chaotic last few months on the campaign trail for both candidates that included two assassination attempts on Trump and Harris taking over for President Biden at the top of the ticket.
Recent polling between the two major party candidates has been tight, with Harris and Trump both at 48 percent support in a new NBC News survey and Harris now ahead of Trump by 2.9 percentage points in an average of national polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
Other findings in the CBS News/YouGov poll included most Americans having a dour view of how “things in America are going,” with 36 percent saying they are going “very badly,” 30 percent saying they are going “somewhat badly,” 27 percent saying they are going “somewhat well” and 6 percent saying they are going “very well.”
The CBS News/YouGov poll included 2,719 registered voters and a margin of error of about plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.
