Election Race: Harris Leads by a Small Margin Over Trump.

A month before election day, Vice President Kamala Harris has a 3-percentage point lead over former President Donald Trump nationally, according to a poll.

The Economist/YouGov poll shows that 48% of respondents said they support Harris, compared to 45% who preferred Trump. However, the former president leads among independent voters, receiving 40% compared to Harris's 32%, reports The Hill.

When asked who they think will win the election, regardless of preference, 40% of poll respondents named the vice president, while 35% pointed to the former president. Approximately 25% were unsure, according to the poll.

Harris has a 10-percentage point advantage over Trump among women, while the Republican candidate has a 4-point advantage among men. The Democratic candidate also holds a double-digit lead over the former president among those whose annual income exceeds $100,000. Those with lower incomes were more evenly divided.

The poll also found that Democrats are more enthusiastic about voting in November. About 68% of Democrats said they are "extremely" or "very enthusiastic" about voting, compared to 59% of Republicans, the data shows.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters - 57% - also said they are ready to elect a woman president. On the other hand, 23% of poll respondents said the U.S. is not ready to elect its first female leader, while 20% were unsure. About 53% of Americans said they hope the U.S. will be able to elect a woman president in their lifetime, according to the poll.
