Spokesman says campaign is not adopting electoral college change as a policy after Democratic VP nominee expresses support for national popular vote
In the latest sign of just how close this presidential race appears to be, a new Reuters/Ipsos national poll shows Kamala Harris’s lead over Donald Trump has shrunk.
The vice-president had a six percentage point lead over Trump in a late September poll by the same firms, but the gap is now three points, with Harris at 46% support to Trump’s 43%.
The four-day poll completed on Monday showed Trump, who had trailed Harris by six points in a Sept 20-23 Reuters/Ipsos poll, was the preferred candidate for a range of economic issues and that some voters might be swayed by his claims that immigrants in the country illegally are prone to crime, assertions that have been largely discredited by academics and think tanks.
The poll had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
