The Times/Siena College poll

NY Times Poll: Trump Leads Harris Going Into Debate

The first major poll after Vice President Kamala Harris' lone sit-down interview has shown a "reversion back toward Mr. Trump," as Donald Trump leads The New York Times/Siena College poll going into Tuesday's lone debate.

Trump is the "change" candidate for 61% of voters.

Among the other strengths Trump showed in the poll, according to Times' analysis:
  • Trump is more favorable now than he was when he was elected in 2016 and the incumbent in 2020.
  • Trump has a 5-point lead on Harris on whichever the most important issue was to a voter. Pollsters asked a two-part question: 1. What's the most important issue; 2. Is Harris or Trump better on it.
  • Trump "occupies the center." While a near majority say Trump is neither "too far" from the middle, a nearly majority says Harris is too far to the left.
