Rasmussen poll puts Trump ahead of Harris

A new poll places President Trump ahead of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) in support from likely voters in a hypothetical match-up. 

In the Rasmussen Reports survey, 47 percent of likely voters polled said they would support Trump and 41 percent said they would support Harris in a 2020 race between the two. Twelve percent were undecided. 

Forty-one percent of likely voters said they had a favorable opinion of Harris, 43 percent had an unfavorable opinion, and 16 percent said they did not know enough about her to form an opinion. {mosads}

The survey placed former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of Trump in a hypothetical match-up, but also had other top contenders like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg behind the president. 

The Hill has reached out to Harris’s campaign for comment.

Researchers surveyed 5,000 likely voters between April 28 and May 2 as well as between May 5 and May 9. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 1.5 percentage points. 

Harris, Buttigieg, Biden and Sanders are among more than 20 people competing for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination. They are consider to be among the race’s front-runners.
