Democrat Kamala Harris is leading Republican Donald Trump 42% to 37% in the race for the November 5 U.S. presidential election, according to an Ipsos poll released on Thursday.
The poll shows that Harris has expanded her lead since a July 22-23 Reuters/Ipsos survey, which had her ahead 37% to 34% over Trump.
This nationwide poll of 2,045 U.S. adults, conducted from August 2-7, also found that 4% of respondents supported independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., down from 10% in July.
Ipsos conducted the August poll independently from Reuters. The online poll has a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
Harris entered the race on July 21 after President Joe Biden, 81, withdrew his campaign and endorsed Harris following a poor debate performance on June 27 against Trump.
