With just over three weeks until Election Day, a trio of new national polls in the race for the White House suggest Former President Donald Trump Democrats are erasing Vice President Kamala Harris' achievements in recent months after replacing President Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket.
Polls indicate a margin of error in the race between the presidential candidates of the two main parties, with Trump enjoying some momentum in the final stretch.
Harris leads Trump 50%-48% among likely voters in an ABC News/Ipsos poll, down from a six-point vice presidential lead last month.

According to an NBC News poll of registered voters nationwide, the vice president and former president were tied at 48%. It's a big change from last month, when Harris enjoyed a five-point lead.
Additionally, a CBS News/YouGov poll of likely voters indicated a three-point lead for Harris over Trump, down slightly from the previous month's four-point lead.

After President Biden's disastrous debate performance at the end of June against Trump, the former president began to open up a single-digit lead over the incumbents in the White House.
However, Biden's exit from the presidential race and the rapid consolidation of Democrats around the vice president have increased the momentum of the race.

Harris, driven by a wave of energy and enthusiasm, experienced a surge in fundraising and favorable ratings, overtaking Trump in the presidential race. The trend continued during the Democratic convention in late August and the first and perhaps only debate between the two standard-bearers in early September.
However, as the summer turned into autumn, Harris's favorability ratings appeared to have declined, with Republicans moving closer to Trump and the already large gender gap in support for the two nominees widening.

Longtime Republican pollster Neil Newhouse told Fox News: “Harris' campaign appears to have stalled as his image has been tarnished and the perception of him as a 'second Biden administration' persists.”
Newhouse, a veteran of numerous GOP presidential campaigns, argued that Harris was “from the jaws of victory to the brink of defeat.”

While national polls are useful in portraying the state of the race, presidential elections are not based on the national popular vote and are instead a battle for states and their electoral votes.
The latest polls in seven key battlegrounds, whose razor-thin margins decided Biden's victory over Trump in 2020 and will likely decide who will win the 2024 election, also indicate the margin of error in the race.

A leading independent pollster said it remains to be seen whether Trump is gaining momentum.
“We need more data before we can describe electoral movements as momentum,” David Paleologos, director of the Center for Political Research at Suffolk University, told Fox News.
Paleologos, who conducted the USA Today/Suffolk University poll, said “it could be a boost, or it could be a natural narrowing of the gap in a very polarized country.”
