Kamala Harris, the Vice President, is leading Donald Trump in a new national presidential poll. This poll, by Reuters/Ipsos, shows Harris ahead by 2 points, with 44 percent to Trump's 42 percent. The survey, conducted just after President Joe Biden stepped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Harris, reflects a new dynamic in the race. Last week, both contenders were tied at 44 percent. Another poll also released on Tuesday shows a slight edge to Trump over Harris, but both results fall within the margin of error. These polls come after the Republican National Convention and Biden's withdrawal, but Harris seems to be holding her ground well despite these changes. She is defying the usual post-convention boost for nominees, keeping the race close and energizing Democratic voters.

Trump narrowly leads Harris in the race for U.S. president according to a new survey. The majority of Americans across party lines agree that Biden made the right choice by dropping out. A recent assassination attempt on Trump at a rally has been followed by tight polling figures, with Trump still holding a slight edge over Harris.
