A New York Times/Sienna College poll conducted from Sept. 3 to Sept. 6 found Trump ahead of Harris nationally with 48% to 47%, marking a significant shift in support. This poll, which surveyed 1,695 registered voters, reflects a potentially crucial turning point in the campaign and suggests that Harris may need to recalibrate her strategy to regain the lead. As the first major poll post her nomination, its findings reveal the volatility and competitive nature of the race ahead.
Nate Cohn highlighted a concerning trend for Harris, noting her recent surge in August appears to have stalled as voters tune in to the campaign. While Harris initially captured attention following her nomination, the poll results indicate the momentum might not last as Trump re-emerges with stronger support. Cohn raised questions about the reliability of this data as an outlier but acknowledged it reflects the unpredictable landscape of current voter sentiments in the run-up to the election.
