, ‘The polling organization Morning Consult surveyed 4,001 registered voters from the 21st to the 22nd of this month and found that nationwide, Trump’s approval rating was 47%, while Harris’s was 45%, a difference of 2 percentage points. Given the margin of error of ±2%, the race is practically a tie. Morning Consult stated that the gap has narrowed since the previous survey conducted just before Biden’s resignation, where Trump had a 6% lead over Harris. Biden’s resignation is currently seen as a favorable development for the Democratic camp. Morning Consult stated, “After Biden’s resignation, Harris is rallying Democratic voters, injecting vitality and performing better against Trump.”‘,

, ‘Earlier, on the 15th, Morning Consult released a poll showing that both Biden and Harris were trailing Trump’s approval rating by 1% point and stated, “Replacing Biden with Harris is unlikely to significantly increase the Democratic Party’s chances of winning.” However, Morning Consult stated, “It has become clear that Harris’s upward trend will increase the Democratic Party’s chances of winning.”‘,
,
, ‘Morning Consult further mentioned, “Following Biden’s resignation, a clear shift in the internal atmosphere of the Democratic Party towards Harris is being detected,” and “whether the Democratic Party’s ‘new energy’ can significantly reshape the presidential race depends less on Biden and more on how the less-known Harris can introduce and market herself to the American public.”‘,
,
, ‘The Hill, a specialized publication in Congress, also revealed a similar trend from analyzing the combined results of 67 recent polls. Former President Trump had an approval rating of 47.4% while Vice President Harris had 45.4%.’,
,
, ‘In a poll released by CNN on the 2nd, Trump was at 47% and Harris at 45%, creating a tense competition within the margin of error (±3.5%). In the same poll, Biden’s approval rating was at 43%, trailing Trump by 6 percentage points. The New York Times analyzed that based on a poll released on the 17th, Harris has an advantage over Biden in some competitive states like Pennsylvania.’,
,
, ‘In the recent Morning Consult poll, 65% of Democratic supporters expressed support for Harris as the party’s candidate. Morning Consult noted that this level of support for Harris following Biden’s resignation exceeds the support she received in a poll conducted after the first televised debate on the 27th of last month. Particularly, 27% of Democratic voters indicated a “much higher willingness to vote” following Biden’s resignation, surpassing the response from Republican voters (24%).’,
,
, ‘In this survey, the majority of voters (63%) said Biden should complete his remaining term. However, 30% of respondents believed he should resign immediately.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, CNN reported that donations are pouring in as the Democratic support transitions to Harris following Biden’s resignation. Kevin Munoz, a spokesperson for Harris’s campaign, revealed that within 24 hours of Harris announcing her bid for the presidential nomination, donations totaling $81 million were raised. Munoz stated, “The historic level of support pouring in for Vice President Harris demonstrates the grassroots energy and passion needed to win the election.”‘,
,
, ‘Following Biden’s public endorsement, prominent Democratic figures such as Nancy Pelosi, former House Speaker, have successively expressed their support for Harris, leading U.S. media outlets to anticipate that Harris is likely to secure the presidential candidacy smoothly. According to sources like the New York Times (NYT), many prominent figures, including Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan, J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, and Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, who were previously mentioned as potential candidates, have also indicated their support for Harris.’,
