A new national poll conducted entirely after Tuesday's debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump indicates Harris leading Trump by five points.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted two-day poll, Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has the support of 47% of registered voters nationwide. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, lands the backing of 42% of registered voters questioned.
The five-point advantage for Harris is up slightly from a four-point margin in the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was conducted in late August, prior to the debate.

The survey indicates that voters agree with political pundits in saying that Harris bested Trump during their Philadelphia showdown, which was their first and potentially their only presidential debate.
Fifty-three percent of survey respondents who said they had heard at least some of Tuesday's debate said that the vice president had won, with just 24% saying that the former president was the winner.

With seven and a half weeks until Election Day, and early voting getting underway this month in some of the key battleground states, most national surveys and swing state polls indicate a margin-of-error race between Trump and Harris, who enjoyed a wave of momentum in the weeks after replacing President Biden atop the Democrats' 2024 ticket in mid-July.
