WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 47% to 42% in the race to win the Nov. 5 presidential election, increasing her advantage after a debate against the former president that voters largely think she won, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.
The two-day poll showed Harris with a five percentage point lead among registered voters, just above the four-point advantage she had over Trump in an Aug. 21-28 Reuters/Ipsos poll.

(5,271 posts)until we can see the net effect of the debate on the race. I would not expect to see huge changes in the national numbers TBH because such a large percentage of the people are firm on their vote one way or the other. The debate isnt going to change the minds of any MAGA Trump voters. The best Im hoping for is a solid lead by VP Harris in PA enough to take that state off the table for Trump. She already looks to be in good shape in MI and WI so that would effectively be game over. However, she would only have 271 EVs at that point and I dont trust SCOTUS not to steal the election for Trump after a Republican House refused to certify the election result. For added margin, I would hope to see her take consistent leads in NV, NC, GA, and AZ. Winning two or three or even all four of those will make it that much more difficult for Trump and Republican ratfuckery to steal the election; not that they wont try anyway.
