The five-point advantage for Harris is up slightly from a four-point margin in the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was conducted in late August, prior to the debate.

The survey indicates that voters agree with political pundits in saying that Harris bested Trump during their Philadelphia showdown, which was their first and potentially only presidential debate.

Fifty-three percent of survey respondents who said they had heard at least some of Tuesday's debate said that the vice president had won, with just 24% saying that the former president was the winner.

With seven and a half weeks until Election Day and early voting getting underway this month in some of the key battleground states, most national surveys and swing state polls indicate a margin-of-error race between Trump and Harris, who enjoyed a wave of momentum in the weeks after replacing President Biden atop the Democrats' 2024 ticket in mid-July.

Harris, at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday, reiterated to her supporters that "ours is going to be a tight race until the end."

"We are the underdog," she emphasized. "We’ve got some hard work ahead of us… hard work is good work."

The Fox News Power Rankings, which are based on a combination of national and state polls, show Harris leading in key battleground states such as Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania. However, the race is still considered to be a toss-up in several other swing states, including Georgia and North Carolina.

In Georgia, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump, but the race is considered to be within the margin of error. The state has been trending towards the Democrats in recent years, but it remains a competitive battleground due to its large number of white working-class voters.

North Carolina is another state that is considered to be a toss-up. Harris currently holds a small lead in the polls, but the race is still very close. The state has a history of voting for both Republican and Democratic candidates, and it is expected to be one of the most competitive states in the 2024 election.
