Poll: Surging Donald Trump Neutralizes Harris’s Momentum Nationally; Race Is Neck and NeckNick Gilbertson9 Aug 2024124
Former President Donald Trump enjoys a net four-point swing his way in just a week’s time in the race against Vice President Kamala Harris, neutralizing momentum garnered from her ascension to the top of the Democrat ticket, according to an RMG Research/Napolitan News Service survey.
The poll, published Friday, shows Harris at 44 percent and Trump at 43 percent, while independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garners 6 percent. In the hypothetical two-way contest, Harris and Trump are tied at 49 percent, per the Napolitan News Service:

Another two percent would vote for someone else or sit the election out, and three percent remain unsure about whom they will back.
In comparison to the last RMG Research poll, conducted July 29-31 and published August 2, Trump surged four-points in just a week’s time, while Harris has plateaued:

This latest poll was conducted from August 5-7 among 2,000 registered voters, and the margin of error is ± 2.2 percentage points. Notably, Harris selected Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate on August 6 while the poll was underway. They officially became the Democrat presidential and vice presidential nominees that day.
Trump’s surge and Harris’s plateau coincide with her weeks-long dodging of a sit-down interview or formal press conference. While she handled a few questions on Thursday, Harris has otherwise avoided the press for 19 days as of Friday.
