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.
