The gender gap is even bigger among women of color — and dads back Trump by a wide margin, a new 19th.
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a three-point lead over former President Donald Trump, boosted by a wider advantage with women voters than he holds with men, according to a new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll.
Ahead of their first and so far only scheduled presidential debate, the poll reveals that 44 percent of registered voters back Harris, the Democratic nominee, and 41 percent say they back Trump, the Republican. Meanwhile, 10 percent say they are undecided.
Harris currently leads among women voters by 13 points (48 percent to 35 percent) and Trump leads men by eight points (47 percent to 39 percent). Nonbinary voters support Harris by a margin of 76 points (83 percent to 7 percent).
Harris has been a candidate since President Joe Biden dropped out on July 21, making hers the shortest general election campaign in modern history. With just eight weeks until Election Day, Harris and Trump are taking different approaches to make their case to voters. She has largely spurned major media interviews in favor of speeches and campaign events focused on rolling out specific policies. He has conducted more interviews and news conferences but maintained a comparatively lighter campaign schedule, relying on his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, for much of the retail politicking.
The poll also reveals that Democrats lead on the generic ballot for the U.S. House by three points, 42 to 39 percent, among registered voters. Women prefer the Democrat running for the House seat in their district by a 14-point margin, while the Republican contender has a seven-point edge with men. Nonbinary voters would vote for the Democrat by a margin of 72 points, 80 to 8 percent.
