Like I said Rick, I’m always a bit leery about polls which give the respondents just two choices, Harris or Trump. That’s not the real world where in most states’ voters will have more choices than just Trump and Harris. They’ll have 3, 4 or 5. Besides, the Reuters polls has an MOE of plus or minus 3 points as does CNN’s withs NPR/PBS polls at 3.5 MOE.
But in polls since Harris replaced Biden, 3 of them. Your Reuters, Harris 44, Trump 42. Then there’s NPR/PBS Trump 46 Harris 45 along with CNN Trump 49, Harris 46. That averages out to a 0.7-point Trump lead. The top 3 polls in this list are the ones post Harris replacing Biden.

Early indications is the switch is a plus for the democrats. But there’re still early indications. We don’t know if these early indications are temporary bounce or the real thing. We won’t know which one for at least two to three weeks, perhaps a month. But it is a good, positive start.
