A new Florida Atlantic University poll finds Kamala Harris has taken the lead over Donald Trump nationally among likely voters, 49% to 45%.
Key finding: “Harris has made significant inroads among Independent voters, now capturing 48% of their support, compared to Trump’s 35%. This marks a notable shift from July when Independents were more evenly split, with 45% backing Harris and 43% supporting Trump.”
This poll was taken entirely after the Democratic convention.
