Former President Donald Trump has once again taken a lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in a major new poll released on Saturday.

The New York Times/Siena College poll has Trump up by 1 point over Harris, but there are several other factors in the survey that bode well for the 45th president. In a two-way race, he is up by one point, 48 to 47 percent. With third-party candidates, he’s up two points, 47 to 45 percent.

“In this same poll, throughout all of 2020, Trump never came any closer than eight points behind Joe Biden. Moreover, Trump never polled any higher than 41 percent nationally. Today, he’s polling at 48 percent nationally,” Breitbart noted.

“Trump picks up 14 percent of the black vote and 41 percent of the Hispanic vote. His favorability rating is only a single point worse than Kamala’s. He enjoys a 46-52 percent favorable/unfavorable rating (-6) to her 46-51 percent rating (-5).”

Harris, meanwhile, has not convinced voters that she is sincere in her many policy changes.

An RMG Research poll, shared on Friday by the Napolitan News Service, surveyed 1,000 registered voters on the vice president’s policies on illegal immigration, single-payer health care, fracking, defunding the police, gun ownership, and an electric vehicle mandate.

“Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer,” Harris said in 2020.

However, her new campaign ads feature images of former President Donald Trump’s wall, and she acts as if she is tough on the border, the Daily Caller noted.

The poll showed that 63 percent of those surveyed believe that Harris wants to assist illegal immigrants, and only 23 percent believe that she wants to secure the border.

Fracking is another issue where she has changed from her stance during her 2020 campaign for president when she said, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”

But last week she said, “What I have seen is that we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking,”

The voters who were surveyed do not believe her as 42 percent of respondents believe that the vice president wants to ban fracking and a mere 26 percent believe she has changed her mind.
