Kamala Harris has taken a significant lead over Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race following a strong debate performance. According to a Morning Consult poll, Harris is ahead by a record 6 points, with 51% support compared to Trump's 45%. This marks a new record for the Democratic presidential nominee. Additionally, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll shows Harris leading Trump 49%-46% in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, although this is within the poll’s margin of error of 4.4%. The post-debate gender gap has also widened, contributing to Harris's national lead.
