Despite the fact that Vice President Harris has gained momentum since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, she is now reportedly currently trailing behind President Biden and Hillary Clinton in their respective campaigns against former President Trump during the 2020 and 2016 presidential races.
Harris is currently leading Trump in national polls conducted by the FiveThirtyEight political website, with a 47 percent to 44 percent margin of support, with 62 days remaining until the election.
However, in 2020, Biden maintained a greater advantage in terms of this metric.
According to FiveThirtyEight, he was seven points clear of then-President Trump in the 2020 race, with a 50 percent to 43 percent margin.
Clinton was ahead of Trump with 42 percent support to 38 percent at this juncture of the 2016 presidential election, when she was running at the conclusion of former President Obama’s second term in office, according to the same data.
Harris is currently 2 points clear of Trump in the national polling average.
However, Biden was ahead of Trump by 7 points at this juncture in 2020, with 49% of the vote to 42%.
In 2016, the RealClearPolitics national average of polls also indicated that Clinton had a higher level of support than Trump, with 46% to 42%.
In comparison to Biden’s position when he defeated Trump in 2020, Harris is also trailing in certain critical demographics.
Since becoming the Democratic standard-bearer, Harris has demonstrated polling gains among Black voters.
However, a Suffolk University poll published on Tuesday revealed that she won by a significant margin, albeit a smaller one than that of Biden and Clinton.
In the seven swing states that are expected to determine the election’s victor, Biden was trailing Trump before his decision to drop out of the race earlier this summer.
Harris has narrowed the margins since entering the race, rendering Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina competitive.
In Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, certain polls have indicated that she is ahead.
