Trump leads Harris by 11 points among independents: poll

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 points among independents, according to a recent poll.

Rasmussen Reports released a poll on Thursday showing that 51% of likely independent voters would vote for Trump in the November presidential election, while 40% would vote for Harris. Trump was up by 9 points last week in the same survey.

Among all likely U.S. voters, 49% said they would vote for Trump, while 46% said they would vote for Harris. The Democratic presidential nominee gained a point since the prior week's poll.

The survey was conducted of 1,893 U.S. likely voters on Aug. 15, 18-21, and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
