Five poll numbers that tell the story of the Democratic convention — and what's coming next
An historic switch in the presidential ticket. A polling shift. And a still-undefined nominee. That’s the backdrop to this week’s Democratic convention.
CHICAGO — A historic switch in the presidential ticket. A shift in the polling. And a still-undefined presidential nominee.
That’s the backdrop to this week’s Democratic convention, which began Monday with President Joe Biden passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris and will end Thursday night with Harris officially accepting her party’s presidential nomination.
These five numbers help set the stage for this week's events — and for the rest of the 2024 campaign once the conventions are over.
That’s Harris’ lead over Republican Donald Trump in the latest national Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll, 49% to 45% among registered voters.
While the result is within the poll’s margin of error, it’s consistent with other national and battleground polling showing her with a slight edge over Trump.
