Harris Slightly Favoured In New Presidential Election Forecast Ahead Of DNC

US

A new 2024 presidential election forecast published by RacetotheWHshows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump 53.9%-45.7% as the Democratic National Convention gets underway in Chicago, Illinois.

  • Historical data suggests Harris is likely to get a moderate polling bump during the convention. However, it remains to be seen if that polling boost has already been priced in amid a momentum surge that followed Harris' ascent to the top of the ticket. Should Harris receive a boost, she might extend her lead over Trump in national polling by around 2-3%, but any polling boost is likely to recede over the coming weeks.
  • Nate Silver's election forecast shows a similar 53.5%-45.9% lead for Harris, with the gap narrowing slightly over the past week. The Economist's election forecast shows a deadheat.
