Harris-Trump showdown: New national poll shows who has the edge 2 weeks from Election Day
A new national poll is the latest to indicate former President Trump with an edge over Vice President Harris in the race to succeed President Biden in the White House.Trump grabs 47% support among likely voters nationwide, with Harris at 45%, according to a Wall Street Journal survey released on Wednesday evening - on a ballot that also includes third-party and independent candidates.
That's a switch from the Journal's previous national survey - conducted in late August - which indicated Harris with a two point edge.
The former president's advantage is within the new survey's margin-of-error, which means that either Trump or the vice president could potentially be leading the race.

The Wall Street Journal poll - of 1,500 registered voters questioned Oct. 19-22 - also shows Trump holding a three-point margin (49%-46%) over Harris in a head-to-head match up.
The survey indicates views of Harris have turned more negative since August, with her favorable rating eight points underwater and her approval rating as vice president at 42%-54%. Meanwhile, views of Trump have improved, with voters approving of his past performance in the White House by a 52%-48% margin.
The new poll follows a Fox News national survey conducted Oct. 11-14 and released last week that indicated the Republican presidential nominee with a two-point edge over the Democratic Party standard-bearer....
