A new surveyfrom NPR/PBS News/Marist has found that Vice President Harris has now built a 51%-48% lead over former President Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

• NPR notes: “That result is 4 points better than just after Harris got into the race two weeks ago when President Biden bowed out. Harris maintains a 3-point lead (48%-45%) when third-party choices are offered, too.”
• The NPR report notes: “Fueling her rise are Black voters, white women with college degrees and women who identify as political independents. She is doing 20 to 30 points better with them than when she first got in, leading to improvement in the suburbs and with white voters overall.”
