As of early October 2024, Kamala Harris appears to have a competitive edge against Donald Trump in various polling data. In recent surveys, she is leading or closely tied with Trump in key battleground states. For example, a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll indicates Harris is ahead by an average of three points in these states, with her lead reaching seven points in Nevada and a five-point lead in Pennsylvania​.

Overall, a YouGov/Economist poll shows Harris with a narrow three-point advantage among registered voters, capturing 47% to Trump’s 44%. Notably, she is performing particularly well among younger voters, holding a 25-point margin in that demographic​. However, it's important to note that many young voters are less committed to voting compared to older age groups, which could affect turnout.

Harris's support in swing states highlights the shifting dynamics of the race, but the election remains fluid with potential for changes as November approaches. Polling variability suggests that while Harris is currently positioned well, the race could tighten further​.
