Things are not looking great if you’re a Democrat. We’re only a few short weeks out from the general election and the radical leftists in our nation are in a horrible position politically speaking. A new poll was just published by HarrisX/Forbes, and it has former President Donald Trump holding the lead over Vice President Kamala Harris. This represents a rather significant shift in momentum so close to election day.
The poll reveals the 45th president has surpassed Harris 51 percent to 49 percent in a close race for the White House, when taking into account likely voters who are leaning toward one specific candidate. The new information is a large six-point shift from last month when Harris was comfortably in the lead over the former president by four points. In a four-way race that includes third party and independent candidates such as Cornel West and Jill Stein, Trump still manages to stay ahead of Harris 49 percent to 48 percent.

The poll indicates that up to 12% of likely voters are still contemplating their choices, with 4% remaining undecided in a two-way contest. Among registered voters, the uncertainty is even higher, with 18% not fully committed. Harris’s campaign, once buoyed by a steady lead, now faces a tough reality check. Her team has scrambled to refocus messaging and rally voter turnout, especially among younger voters and women, two demographics crucial for Democrats. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign is seizing the moment, touting the poll as proof of growing momentum for his candidacy and pushing to convert leaners into solid supporters. The HarrisX/Forbes poll is just the latest in a series of recent surveys showing the 2024 race tightening. Analysts attribute the shift to a mix of factors, including growing economic concerns, national security issues, and voter fatigue. Additionally, third-party candidates like West and Stein, while polling in single digits, are creating a potential spoiler effect, particularly for Harris, as disenchanted Democrats explore alternative options.
With early voting already underway in several states, both campaigns are ramping up efforts to sway undecided voters. Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX, described the election to Forbes as a “dynamic, competitive race to the very end.” He said that the outcome hinges on several factors: “It will come down to both turnout and, importantly, the X-factor of the 18 percent of swing voters who still say they may change their mind.”
While Democrats might be bawling their eyes out at the moment, this is amazing news for Republicans. However, do not allow such tidings to drive you to complacency or apathy. There are two weeks to go and lots of campaigning still to do. It’s not too late to try and win hearts and minds for Trump and ensure the survival of our republic.
