Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have taken a lead over Republican Donald Trump in the race for the U.S. presidency, as per a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. Harris leads 47% to 40%, a clear seven-point advantage.

The survey, closed on Monday, indicated that Harris's slight economic advantage has eroded Trump's historic edge on the topic. Although she leads nationally, the Electoral College's battleground states remain tightly contested.

Both candidates are concentrating on economic issues, which top the list of voter priorities. Harris has announced tax breaks for families and increased taxes on corporations, while Trump focuses on creating manufacturing zones and raising tariffs on imports as part of his economic strategy.
