Just before the highly anticipated TV showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, a new poll reveals a tight race between the two presidential candidates.
According to The New York Times, Trump is currently polling at 48 percent, edging out Harris, who sits at 47 percent.
These figures are likely to spark concern within the Democratic camp, as Harris was initially seen as the clear favorite.
President Joe Biden's withdrawal created a surge of excitement around her candidacy, but the latest poll raises questions about whether that momentum will last.
The poll results are within the three percent margin of error, meaning the race remains highly competitive.
As n-tv reports, the contest is especially close in swing states, which are historically pivotal in deciding election outcomes. This makes the upcoming TV debate even more critical.
Harris and Trump are set to face off in Philadelphia on September 10, in what could be a defining moment for both campaigns. For Harris, this debate offers a crucial chance to close the narrow gap and regain her foothold in the race.
