Vice President Kamala Harris holds a "fragile" edge of 49%-47% over former President Donald Trump, leaving the race in a statistical tie, according to Friday's TIPP Daily Poll.
The contest remains within a margin of error of 2.7 percentage points, noted pollster Raghavan Mayur, with the race fluctuating between both candidates being ahead by 2 points, with neither candidate breaking free from a 4-point margin less than two weeks before Election Day.
Harris has been polling in the 49%-50% range for the past eight days, with Trump remaining in the 47%-49% range. The two are in a razor-thin, 2-point race.
Third-party candidates Cornel West and Jill Stein are barely registering in the polls, so with them included in the mix, Harris comes out on Friday with 49.2% and Trump with 47.5%.
