The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago caused Vice President Kamala Harris to lose popularity, according to a Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey.

The outcomes indicate the faltering momentum of her campaign.

Released this week, the poll reveals that of the 2,500 self-reported likely voters surveyed on August 29, 44% favor Harris over the 42 percent who prefer former President Donald Trump. Four percent would vote for a different candidate, while eight percent are unsure. There was no given margin of error.

In a Redfield & Wilton strategies poll conducted on August 21, the third day of the DNC, Harris is down three points and Trump is down two.

So Harris did not receive a vote increase after accepting her party’s candidacy. This is a net one-point swing in Trump’s favor.

A recent indictment against Trump for contesting the results of the 2020 election does not appear to have hurt his chances, according to the current survey. The study also shows how the campaign has changed as a result of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s withdrawal from the race and support for Trump.

A Redfield & Wilton survey conducted at the time indicated that the race between Trump and Harris is significantly closer than the one between Trump and President Joe Biden at a comparable period in the 2020 cycle. In the August 20, 2020, poll, which gathered responses from 2,000 people, Biden led Trump by 10 points.

Biden and Trump polled at 49% and 39%, respectively, in that survey. Three percent supported third-party candidates, while nine percent were unsure. Trump beats his prior record by three points, but Harris lags behind Biden by five points.

According to the most recent survey, immigration, abortion, and the economy are the three most important topics. 62 percent of respondents replied the economy, 36 percent said immigration, and 34 percent said abortion when asked to name the three topics that would have the biggest influence on their vote.
