Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump by just over three percentage points - 46% to 43%. This is evidenced by the results of a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The majority of respondents named the economy as the country's main issue, and 44% said Trump has a better approach to solving the "cost of living" issue. Harris was supported by 38% of those surveyed.

More than 70% of respondents believe that the cost of living is the most important economic problem, and only a small share chose the labor market, taxes, or improvement of financial condition. Trump has greater support on all these issues compared to Harris. However, 42% of voters believe that Harris is a better candidate for resolving differences between wealthy and middle-class Americans, compared to 35% who preferred Trump.

Support for Trump is also increased by concerns about immigration. About 53% of respondents believe that "illegal immigrants are a threat to public safety," compared to 41% who disagree with this statement. In the May survey, opinions were more divided: 45% agreed and 46% disagreed.

Throughout the year, Harris has led Trump in all six Reuters/Ipsos polls regarding their contests. The latest poll showed that Harris is ahead by two percentage points - 47% to 45% - among voters who are most likely to vote in November. According to Pew Research Center, about two-thirds of eligible voters have already participated in the 2020 presidential elections.

Most respondents believe that Harris has more intellectual abilities than Trump: 55% agree with the statement that she is "mentally sharp and able to handle challenges," compared to 46% who believe the same about Trump.

Although national surveys, including those by Reuters/Ipsos, provide important insights into voter opinion, the winner is decided by the Electoral College results by state, and only a few states are pivotal. Polls have shown that Harris and Trump are tied in these key states, and many results are within the margin of error.
