Harris Gaining Ground on Trump, TV Network Polls Show

The findings are broadly in line with other recent national polls

Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican rival Donald Trump by 5 percentage points in an NBC News poll released on Sunday that found that respondents have come to see her more favorably since she emerged as the Democratic presidential candidate.

Asked about their views of Harris since she became the nominee, 48 percent of 1,000 registered voters surveyed said it was positive compared to 32 percent in July — the largest jump among politician ratings polled by NBC since President George W. Bush's favorability rose after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Asked about Trump, 40 percent of those polled said they viewed him positively compared to 38 percent in July, the news network said. The poll, conducted Sept. 13-17, has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
