    New exclusive survey: Harris, Trump stuck in heat in Wisconsin battleground

    Harris leads Trump 49% to 47% in the ABC News poll

    Harris regained a slight lead among likely voters nationwide the latest poll from ABC News/Ipsos released Sunday, which surveyed a total of 2,808 adults.

    The poll showed Harris leading 49 percent to 47 percent of the 2,392 registered voters polled. When considering only likely voters (1,913 in this poll), Harris also holds a slight lead of 51 percent to Trump’s 47 percent.

    The poll had a margin of sampling error of 2 percentage points.

    “Compared to earlier this month, Harris has regained a more typical Democratic edge among Hispanics and widened her advantage among suburban women, while remaining strong in core groups, including people of color,” it said in the survey. “Trump is pushing back in rural areas and among non-college white men and leading competitively among younger men.”

    The survey was conducted between October 18 and October 22.

    The new poll found that a majority of those surveyed saw Trump as the best candidate to handle issues that include immigration and the economy. Harris, meanwhile, was seen among those polled as the best to handle issues like abortion and health care.

    The poll of 2,161 registered voters showed Harris leading 50 percent to 49 percent, with a margin of error of 2.6 points. It took place between October 23-25.

    Things to consider about surveys

    The margin of error describes how accurately we can count on the survey results to be representative of the entire population.

    When a candidate’s lead is “within” the margin of error, it is considered a “statistical tie,” according to Pew Research Center.

    Pew has, too found that most pollsters have changed their methods since the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, where Trump’s performance was significantly underestimated.
