Kamala Harris has gained 23 points in a new poll, leaving her 9 points ahead of Donald Trump.

A poll questioning independents, carried out by NPRS/PBS News/Marist, found that 53 percent supported Harris and 44 percent backed Trump.

This 9-point lead is a huge jump from the 14 points she was down in Marist's July poll, which found 46 percent of independents for Trump and 32 percent for Harris.

The August survey, published on Tuesday, was carried out among 1,613 adults between August 1 and August 4 and has a disclaimed margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points. The July survey questioning 1,309 adults was carried out on July 22 and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
