From Breitbart: Former President Donald Trump has overtaken Vice President Kamala Harris among independents, the latest weekly survey — taken after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois — from the Economist/YouGov found.
The survey asked respondents, “In November 2024, who do you plan to vote for in the presidential election” and listed Trump, Harris, independent candidate Cornel West, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein as options. Notably, this survey was taken after independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.
Overall, Harris — whom many believe is at the end of the honeymoon period of her campaign — leads Trump by two percentage points, 47 percent to Trump’s 45 percent. Notably, she led Trump by three points the week prior.
One percent goes to Stein, while West receives zero percent support. Five percent across the board remain unsure.
Harris first led among independents, but now they have shifted over to Trump. The survey found that Trump now has a 5-point lead over Harris among independents, with 42 percent support, compared to just 37 percent for Harris.
On the question of who voters believe will win the election, 37% say they believe Trump will win, and 36% say they believe Harris will win.
