Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump nationally by 6 points, according to a polling released a week after the first debate between the major party nominees.

The Morning Consult survey, published Tuesday, found Harris garnered 51 percent support among likely voters — her highest margin to date — compared to Trump's 45 percent. Some 2 percent said they would prefer someone else, while another 2 percent had no opinion. The vice president's lead is outside the survey's margin of error.

Harris had the same level of separation among independents, with 47 percent backing her, about 41 percent backing Trump, and 6 percent saying they would prefer another choice.

Roughly 6 out of 10 likely voters who watched the ABC News debate, 61 percent, said the vice president was the winner. Around 1 in 5 Republicans reached the same conclusion. About 33 percent of likely voters surveyed said Trump, the GOP nominee, won the showdown.

The Democratic nominee also holds an advantage in terms of favorability. More than half of likely voters surveyed, 53 percent, have a favorable view of Harris, while 44 percent said the same about the former president.

The polling also found Harris leads the former president among younger voters; about 56 percent of voters aged 18-34 sided with the vice president, while 41 percent picked Trump.

Harris also has a 60-point lead among Black voters, with 78 percent backing her and about 18 percent picking Trump.

In The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls, Harris boats a 3-point advantage over Trump: 49.6 percent to the former president's 46.2 percent.

The Morning Consult survey was conducted Sept. 13-15 among 11,022 likely voters. The margin of error was 1 percentage point.

Anybody remember a old newspaper headline that said "DEWEY WINS!"? It was held up by Harry S. Truman the night he won the 1950 presidential election. Dewey's alleged win was based on election night polls that were less than accurate. That is one reason I do not trust presidential election polls as they are highly subjective and are based on demographics, who initiated said polls, and who is actually tabulating results. To top things off, pollsters generally poll a specific number of people, usually 1500 or less, then use the percentages gained to make it look like it represents the entire population rather than that drop in a bucket actually polled. Comical if one really thinks about, but there are people convinced that most polling is honest and above board, and it is not confined to either party.

Ed-, polling is a bit of sampling, eh?  And as such it can only be a guide for a poll is COMPELLED to rely solely on input.  Over many decades, officials (and the public) have come to accept (over rely) on them as the only game in town which covers and provides the 'services' they do. Of course, trained pollsters want the 'work.' 

Case in point: just yesterday I heard the media speaking about 18 years old and thereabouts (the youth vote) as being unpolled, but out there in upwards of tens of thousands being urged to register and vote this November. . . who are not getting polled at all or insufficiently. :)

Polling has acually improved quite a lot over the years.

For it example, they asked questions of various groups of voters. (Some of whom may have had strong opinions...but didn't intend to vote!) They fixed that-- now they always ask if the person intends to vote.

Of course polling is not perfect. but it can give some idea...

Liz Cheney makes an interesting point in her book Oath Of Honor. Some of the blowhards that stood up in the House and claimed voting irregularities in their state were happy enough to be sworn in as having won their own elections in the same locations they were claiming were irregular.

It was all bullshit. There isnt a single state where Trump was cheated. If you think there was put up some evidence. And no, the number of mail in votes is not evidence. .

The USA has fair elections.    There are a mere handful of cases where fraud was determined and in those cases it was detected and overturned.

Trump continues to wrongly harm public trust in our election system.    He continues to damage this nation with his irresponsible rhetoric.

Hilarious when coming from folks who are going to vote for Kamala. She’s lying her ass off. Just like Biden did who ran as a moderate and ruled as one of the most progressive presidents we’ve ever had.

Kamala is a joke. Another chosen one. This time with not one vote to qualify to run for president. The hypocrisy just drips off supporters of Harris. Or should I say flows like a river of bullshit.

It is morally irreprehensible to call treat good (people) as bad. Just wrong-headed. On the other-hand, Donald has proven himself to be a moral reprobate who lies 99.99 percent of the time. So much so. . . that 'many people say,' they can't trust him because they don't know when he is telling the truth! :)

Moreover, here we have a former president and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States who mocks veterans and active personnel when he calls them, 'suckers,' 'losers,' diminishes their deaths in combat, and actually stated their presidential medals are 'beneath' that of civilian recipients (though no one else would have made such a comparison).  And shocking, some military members - combat veterans-even think this COWARD CROOKED Donald who is one humongous INSULT-DRIVEN WONDERKIN is worthy of praise, dedication, service, and apparently 'better than themselves.' Go figure!  

It is a 'wonder' that any veteran or servicemember would yield ground to a COWARD, any coward, THAT COWARD: Crooked Donald. What a 'disaster'!

Yup.  I assume you're talking Trump's father.  Don't know enough about the doctor's reputation.

Trump was the only person who could have carried the note into the Draft Board and presented it to them.

Consider the timing. He was recalled for a physical in September of 1968, after graduating, and was classified as 1A again.

Mysteriously, Trump shows up at the draft board again in October 1968 with the doctors note and is reassigned as 1Y.

Two months later he pulls 356 in the lottery and he's home free.

Good news, but the key to winning are select districts in a few states.   

The popular lead is encouraging since that indirectly suggests Harris-Walz are better suited to win the districts that will determine this election.

Ultimately this is going to be about turnout.   The good news there is that it seems the enthusiasm for Harris-Walz is substantially better than that for Trump-Vance.   And if those two (Trump and Vance) keep making crazy comments, that will further dissuade those who actually think placing Trump in the presidency is a good idea.

One more perspective.

I am a Harris-Walz supporter.    I am also absolutely in favor of locking down illegal immigration.

So if I were to advertise support for Harris-Walz I could have illegals knocking on my door by virtue of this Sheriff.

See the problem yet?

Spelling it out.   Just because someone wants Harris to win rather than Trump does not mean that they want open borders.  One-issue voting is a bad practice because reality is complex and replete with issues.   One must consider the issues and prioritize.    In short, there are likely many people who will not ignore the many negatives of Trump simply because he claims he will 'fix' the border.

Yes, I am not a one-issue voter.   I consider many factors.    

Illegal immigration is important to me but not even remotely close to the idea of electing to the presidency someone who is wholly unfit for any public office.   That is the overriding factor.   Trump is not fit.  He is not a consideration.

There is no excuse for electing a vindictive, narcissistic, loose-cannon traitor to the presidency.

Further, with all of Trump's fanfare the bottom line is how many illegals have made it past our borders.    The surge occurred during Bush's term and since then has been relatively stable between 10 and 11 million.   The number was dropping during Obama's term and continued to drop during Trump's midterm but started to rise again in the latter portion of Trump's term.

So why would I care about what Trump claims he will do?    He is full of shit.

Love this 🤣😂

”An Ohio sheriff has announced that he is gathering the addresses of all homes in his county that have Kamala Harris campaign signs on display.
Those homes, according to Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, will soon be welcoming some new house guests.
In a Facebook post on his personal campaign page, Sheriff Zuchowski called on residents to write down the addresses of Harris supporters.
Zuchowski revealed that he will be sending all illegal aliens that arrive in the county to the homes of Harris supporters.

There's a few problems with that. For starters the Haitian in Springfield didn't sneak in uninvited. They are legal.

And they were invited in-- they were wanted because businesses in the area needed workers.

The have been several articles from business owners saying how happythey are with the Haitians

Do you actually believe that the PotUS determines gas prices?

Gas prices are complex and depend upon many global factors.   The US president has little to do with it and only make minor adjustments.

A better picture would be US oil production:  

800

This gets closer to areas where the PotUS could make an impact.    This chart shows that oil production under Biden has surpassed the high under Trump.   But note, this does not mean that either Biden or Trump had much to do with oil production.

It's called the benefit of the doubt. I am sure you feel the same about what few promises Harris has made, right?

No way would I give Harris the benefit of the doubt if she made an outrageous claim like stopping the Ukraine war with phone calls while president-elect or chopping everyone's energy bills in half.   

But I draw my conclusions without regard to politics.

Funny stuff. "Strength in Leadership". . . that failed miserably (admission noted in the comment) when CHINA allegedly acted against the world itself (including China). Donald failed to properly manage a world-wide contagion. That can not be simply glossed over! People are dead because of Donald's contagion policies of 2020. 

To be fair, Donald did authorize the expedited research which led to vaccines (though he struggled with himself and his 'support' (cabinet/trumpists public) over the nuances for making it so).

Donald is too transactional as leader and his supporters can persuade him to harm people for the sake of doing harm itself! Consequently, Donald is unfit and too unprofessional to be a proper president!

Obviously there was no attempt to simply shut down Big Oil and there will not be one in the future.   Not only is that impossible to do, it makes no sense.    The only option to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is to migrate away from them over time.    That is what Biden intended and that correlates with the actions he took.

And if those who believe a PotUS has such power then they must also support the PotUS using such power.   That would be a PotUS setting prices in a market economy ... something that conservatives (rightly) reject as wrong.

The lack of logic regarding Trump is almost as bad as the corresponding denial of fact.
