Harris has reportedly increased her lead over Trump since the July 22-23 Reuters/Ipsos poll, in which her advantage was 37% to 34%.

Harris leads Trump by 42% to 40% in the seven states where elections are most likely to be held in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This result does not include data for individual states, Reuters noted .

The poll, conducted on August 2-7, involved 2045 American adults.  It is reported that 4% of respondents supported independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. In July, he was supported by 10 %. 

The margin of error of the online survey was about 3 percentage points.

It is noted that Reuters/Ipsos polls mostly showed Biden and Trump tied while the president was still in the race, although Biden performed worse than at the same point in the 2020 election, in which he defeated Trump.
