CNN Poll of Polls shows no clear leader in the race for president
A new CNN Poll of Polls including polls conducted since the Democratic National Convention finds a tight race with no clear leader between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
Harris has an average of 49% support in the new Poll of Polls, while Trump has 47% across polls conducted between August 23 and Sept. 6. The new average is largely unchanged from the previous average, which found Harris at 50% to Trump at 48%.
The Poll of Polls includes the four most recent national polls measuring the views of registered or likely voters in a 2024 presidential general election.
Takeaways from one of the polls: A New York Times and Siena College poll of likely voters conducted from September 3 to 6 showed 48% say they support Trump to 47% for Harris, with no clear leader.
Other takeaways from the Times-Siena poll:
- The survey suggests a sizable share of voters still need more information about Harris, with 28% of likely voters saying they feel like they need to learn more about her, compared to just 9% who say they need to learn more about Trump
- The poll also suggests a wide gender gap among likely voters, with women breaking for Harris by 11 points (53% to 42%), while men favor Trump by 17 points (56% to 39%)
- Harris has an 8-point advantage among likely voters younger than 30 (51% support Harris to 43% for Trump), while Trump has the upper hand among those age 65 or older
- Independent likely voters tilt narrowly toward Harris, 48% to 44%, while those likely voters who say they did not vote in 2020 split 49% Trump to 40% Harris
- Harris holds broad advantages among likely Black and Latino voters
