Now that the Republican and Democratic National Conventions (DNC) have concluded and both parties’ tickets have been issued, we can start arguing about who will be the next president of the United States—better yet, we can start betting.
According to national polls by NPR and other media sources, Kamala Harris (D) has a slight lead over Donald Trump (R). However, it’s important to remember that polls can be easily skewed and shouldn’t be considered a fool-proof indicator of what will come. This uncertainty should encourage caution when interpreting the results.
The poll shown below shows that the NPR/PBS News/Marist polls have Harris at 51% and Trump at 48%. Other polls conducted by significant networks have similar projections for August 1st, 2024, with some showing Harris with a slightly bigger lead. The boost in Kamala’s campaign could be accredited to the DNC last week. Trump also received a boost in the polls after the Republican National Convention held a month earlier.
Despite the polls showing Harris leading at the national level, that surely doesn’t mean she will win, and sportsbook odds have gotten tighter since the DNC’s conclusion.
