  2. >Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump in two national polls of registered voters released Sunday, underscoring her momentum as the US presidential candidates grapple for a boost with early voting underway in several states.

    >Harris leads the former president and Republican nominee by 49% to 44%, which falls within the margin of error, in an NBC News poll conducted Sept. 13-17. She leads Trump 52% to 48% in a Sept. 18-20 CBS/Ipsos poll, conducted entirely after the apparent assassination attempt on Trump at his Florida golf course on Sept. 15.

    >Harris’ overall favorability has gained 16 percentage points in NBC’s polling compared to before she entered the presidential race in July. Just 32% of registered voters said they viewed the vice president in a positive light at the time, compared with 48% in the latest survey.

    >The network said it’s the largest increase any candidate has had in its polling since then President George W. Bush’s approval rating rose in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US.

    Doesn’t matter what the polls say: don’t get complacent. Get every vote out on the day, and in the run-up to the election keep checking that you are still registered to vote.

  4. I suspect we’re seeing the effects of the last debate starting to bear fruit. It took Biden a week or so for the polls to really adjust after his nightmare of a debate too.

  5. PW for headline lifted right out of Daily Beast even with them not being the source neither? (BTW, The DB itself has a named-only-may-read policy.) I believe they’re talking about the any-may-read NBC poll.
