Investing.com -- Vice President Kamala Harris extended the lead over Republican Donald Trump in the race for the White House just days after a debate against the former president that many believe she won, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The survey, which closed on Thursday, shows Harris leading Trump by 47% to 42% among registered voters in the race for the Nov. 5 presidential election. This five-percentage-point advantage represents a slight increase from the four-point lead she held in a previous Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted August 21-28.
Earlier this week, Harris and Trump faced off in a Presidential debate, with US media broadly assessing "the outcome as a resounding 'win' for Harris, who effectively baited Trump into becoming combative and repeating various falsehoods, while shining some light on her own policies, Deutsche Bank said in a recent note.
A Harris victory, Deutsche Bank believes, would "likely bring more support for lower-income households but higher corporate tax rates, less overt protectionism, and legislation that limits/reverses climate change."
