New Economist/YouGov presidential poll: Harris narrowly ahead

The poll of 1,446 registered voters found that 47% of registered voters either planned to vote for Harris or had already voted for her, while 46% said they supported Trump. Due to rounding, the gap is actually closer to two percentage points, the survey says. Harris' lead among registered voters is within the poll's margin of error (±3.4 percentage points).

The poll was conducted October 26-29 and is the last scheduled Economist/YouGov poll before the election.

“For a large share of voters, the election is over: 40% say they have already voted by mail, absentee ballot or in person at a polling station — slightly higher than the 37% of registered voters who say they will cast their ballot .” at the polls on election day,” the results say. The poll also shows that those who plan to vote in person prefer Trump, while those who vote by mail prefer Harris.
