Trump pulls even with Harris in fresh pre-election poll

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are running neck and neck ahead of the presidential election, a fresh Leger poll released by the New York Post showed.

Both candidates have 49 percent support ahead of the Tuesday vote, while the other 2 percent of respondents said they would vote for someone else.

Trump and Harris are equally expected to improve Americans’ quality of life, at 44 percent each.

However, the Republican candidate took advantage of his Democrat rival in terms of the clarity of his economic strategy plan, at 45 percent against 42 percent.

The poll was conducted from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 among 950 likely voters, with the margin of error not exceeding 3 points.

Owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, the New York Post endorsed Trump for president in late October.
