Polls taken after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday show that Vice President Kamala Harris has made up much of the ground lost in the past few disastrous weeks for Democrats, excitement over her candidacy resulting in her now pulling roughly even or better against former President Donald Trump in national and swing-state surveys.
A poll by Morning Consult, released Thursday, gives Harris a 1-point lead over Trump, compared to Biden's 4-point deficit in the last Morning Consult survey, taken when president was still in the race.
