Vice President Kamala Harris has successfully shrunk former President Donald Trump's lead according to a new conservative poll. This latest survey from Rasmussen Reports, released on Thursday, indicates that Trump holds just a 2-point edge over Harris, down from 3 points last week and 7 points in July.

Key Voter Shifts

The poll, conducted among 1,879 likely voters between August 22 and the 28, reveals a closely contested race. Trump garners support from 48 percent of respondents while Harris is backed by 46 percent. Notably, this is the first poll reflecting independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Trump, which was expected to bolster his position, but the results suggest otherwise.

  • Harris saw an increase in support among Hispanic voters, rising from 42 percent to 45 percent.
  • Trump's support from Hispanic voters has decreased from 50 percent to 48 percent.
  • Harris also gained a point among young voters and independents.
  • In a separate USA Today/Suffolk University poll, Harris leads with 48 percent compared to Trump's 43 percent, marking an 8-point turnaround for the Democrats since June.
