In its weekly head-to-head polling report on the 2024 race, Rasmussen Reports said Thursday that Trump leads 48% to 46% among likely voters.

“These findings are nearly unchanged since last week, when Trump held a 49% to 47% lead over Harris, which was the same as the survey published September 12,” said the polling outfit.

The results, similar in several other polls, shows that neither Harris’s recent interviews, the GOP and Democratic nominating conventions, nor Harris’s massive spending advantage have jarred her free.

But it also shows that despite the liberal media’s claim that Harris has momentum and “joy” on her side, the evidence is that she has stalled in the national popularity polls. It is also notable that Trump’s number is higher than it was in 2016 and 2020.

While the top line numbers have remained essentially frozen, Rasmussen noted some changes in its latest survey, which is an average of several days of nightly polling.

For example, the gender gap has narrowed. Said the analysis, “Trump leads by seven points among men, 51% to 44%, while Harris has a three-point lead with women voters, 49% to 46%. A week ago, Trump led by nine points among men, with Harris leading by six points among women voters.”

Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell told Secrets that the trend of Trump keeping a slight edge is a strong one, as evidenced by his slight lead for three weeks running. “I think it’s like Trump plus one to three nationally,” he said.

But it remains unclear if either candidate will have a break-free moment or if the race will be deadlocked for the next several weeks.
