Former President Donald Trump maintains a 2-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House in the first Rasmussen Reports survey conducted since the candidates' Sept. 10 debate.
Asked "who would you vote for?" there were 49% of voters backing Trump and 47% backing Harris, Rasmussen poll results show. Another 2% say they would vote for some other candidate, and 3% say they are undecided.
The results align with last week's Rasmussen poll, when Trump led 49%-47%.
The new survey results indicate Harris has closed the gap among voters not affiliated with the two major parties. Trump gets 49% support to Harris' 45% among those voters — a lot closer than the former president's 12-point lead last week.
Trump gets 85% backing from Republican voters and Harris receives 80% support from Democrat voters.
Republican nominee Trump leads by 9 points (52%-43%) among men, while Democrat nominee Harris has a 5-point lead (50%-45%) among women.
In a racial breakdown, 53% of whites, 30% of Blacks, 44% of Hispanics, and 45% of other minorities say they would vote for Trump, while 43% of whites, 65% of Blacks, 48% of Hispanics, and 48% of other minorities say they would vote for Harris.
The vice president leads Trump 47%-46% among voters under 40 — and by 3 points among voters 65 and older. The former president leads Harris by 6 points among those ages 40-64.
