Harris, who formally secured the Democratic nomination for president on Monday, Aug. 5, leads her Republican opponent 53 to 39 percent among likely New York State voters, according to a Siena College poll released Tuesday, Aug. 6.
In late June, a Siena College poll showed President Joe Biden leading Trump by a narrower margin, 47 to 39 percent.
Pollsters also found that Harris has a 53-43% favorability rating among registered voters, up from 42-47 percent in October 2023. Meanwhile, Trump’s favorability remains relatively unchanged at 39-59%, compared to 37-59% in June.
“The landscape has changed since the last Siena College poll. The change at the top of the Democratic ticket has had a noticeable, while not dramatic, effect on the horse race,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.
Harris was found to have the support of 86% of Democrats, up from the 75% support Biden had in June.
Independent voters supported Trump over Harris 47-40%, while they backed Trump over Biden by a margin of 45-28%.
The vice president had the backing of Black voters 81-11%, up from Biden’s 59-29% lead in June, the poll found.
Pollsters found that women supported Harris by 34 points, 64-30%, up from Biden’s 51-33%.
Men, meanwhile, favored Trump over Harris 49-43%, compared to the 46-42% lead men gave Trump in June.
“Interestingly, it wasn’t young voters that moved the needle. Among voters under 35, Harris leads 49-34%, down a little from the 51-32% lead Biden had in June,” Greenberg said. “Harris’ big pickup was among voters 35-54, who favor her 54-40%, after backing Trump 44-41% over Biden in June.”
Polling was conducted between July 28 and Aug. 1 – before Harris announced she had selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate – among 1,199 likely New York voters.
