Several recent national polls show former President Donald Trump closing the gap with Vice President Kamala Harris.
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll—conducted Oct. 4 to Oct. 8—has Harris leading the former president 50 percent to 48 percent among likely voters, and 49 to 47 percent among all registered voters. Among all adults, the margin narrows even further to a one-point race within the two-point margin of error, excluding those who wouldn’t vote. Those results mark an improvement for Trump since mid-September, when he trailed Harris by five points in the same poll.
Harris on Monday announced an “opportunity agenda for black men,” which includes 1 million forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 each for black entrepreneurs, more apprenticeships, and research into sickle cell disease and other illnesses that disproportionately affect African American men.
