US Vice President Kamala Harris is ahead of Donald Trump in a national poll. She beat the Republican by two percentage points.

This happened after Joe Biden's decision to end his election campaign, which he announced on July 21. Democrats were worried that if he entered the presidential race, Donald Trump would come to power.

Harris beat Trump in first poll

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is ahead of Trump in the national poll, 44% to 42%, according to the latest poll. However, the difference is within a statistical margin of error of 3 percentage points.

These are the results of a poll for July 22 – 23, which took place after the US Republican National Convention, where Trump was officially nominated as a candidate for president, and after Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and Harris' support.

In the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was conducted July 15-16, Harris and Trump were gaining 44% support, and at the beginning of the month the Republican was ahead of the American vice president by one percentage point.

Moreover, in the latest poll, 56% of registered US voters said that 59 Harris, year-old, “has a sharp mind and the ability to handle challenges.” About 78-year-old Trump, only 49% said this, and only 22% about 81-year-old Biden.

Reuters writes that national polls indicate important signals about American support politicians, but the fate of presidential elections in the United States is usually decided in several key states that traditionally support candidates from different parties.

By the way, the leaders of the democratic factions in the US House of Representatives and Senate Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, July 23, publicly supported the nomination of Kamala Harris as their party's presidential candidate.
