Harris, Trump locked in tight US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
By Bo Erickson
WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) -Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris held a marginal one-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, closing the gap that opened in the final weeks of President Joe Biden's reelection bid.
The three-day poll, completed on Sunday, showed Harris supported by 43% of registered voters, with Trump supported by 42%, within the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last week showed Harris up 44%-42%.
Harris consolidated her position as the Democratic candidate over the last 10 days, after Biden, 81, bowed to growing pressure within his party and dropped out of the race. Harris has since received a surge of donations and endorsements.
The poll showed registered voters prefer Trump's approach on the economy, immigration and crime, while viewing Harris as having the better plan on healthcare.
The poll of 1,025 U.S. adults, including 876 registered voters, was conducted online, in English from July 26-28.
