2 New polls show Harris leading Trump as election approaches

• Kamala Harris' strength with female voters bolsters her overall lead in two new national polls.
• A CBS News poll showed Harris with a one-point lead, while an ABC News poll gave her a four-point lead.
• The presidential race remains close as Harris and Donald Trump fight for votes across the US.

With the US presidential election just over a week away, the race remains close. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are traveling across the country to reach as many voters as possible.

In two major national polls released Sunday, Harris had narrow advantages over Trump.

In a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, Harris had a four-point lead over Trump among likely voters (51% to 47%). And in the most recent CBS News/YouGov poll, Harris led Trump by one point (50% to 49%) among likely voters.

Harris had a two-point lead in the previous ABC poll, while she had a three-point lead in the previous CBS poll.

The results reflect a race in which both candidates remain competitive in the seven major swing states and try to attract as many of their supporters as possible in the early voting cycles.

Harris has focused on the economy and reproductive rights in her closing arguments to voters, while Trump has continued to make clear his message of tackling both inflation and immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

With less than 10 days to go before Election Day, the latest poll results show how strongly women continue to lead Harris.

The CBS poll showed Harris with a 12-point lead (55% to 43%) over Trump among likely female voters. About 55% of registered voters said Harris would be a strong president, compared with 45% of female voters who said she would be a weak leader.

Likely male voters in the CBS poll supported Trump over Harris by nine percentage points (54% to 45%). 64% of male registered voters believed the former president would be a strong leader, compared to 36% who said he would be weak.

Meanwhile, registered voters were divided on Trump's leadership abilities: 50% of respondents believed he would be a strong commander in chief, while 50% of respondents said he was a weak leader.

The ABC poll also showed a sizable gender gap: Harris led Trump by 14 points among women (56% to 42%), while Trump led by six points among men (51% to 45%) top was. The vice president also benefited from a 19-point lead (59% to 40%) among suburban women, a lead that, if it holds, could prove crucial in states like Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Former first lady Michelle Obama campaigned alongside Harris on Saturday in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she warned about abortion restrictions that some states have implemented following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe. v. Calf.

Obama said she understood many voters' frustration with the “slow pace of change” but implored them not to support Trump or a third-party candidate.

“If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we women will become collateral damage to your anger,” she said. “As men, are you ready to look the women and children you love in the eyes and tell them that you supported this attack on our security?”
