Harris fares better than Trump among younger voters, Black voters, Asian voters and voters with college degrees. By comparison, the former president does better among older voters, White voters and voters without a college degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Harris performs better than Biden across many of these groups \u2013 making the race tighter than it was just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"gender\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gender<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In July, women\u2019s presidential preferences were split: 40% backed Biden, 40% preferred Trump and 17% favored Kennedy. With Harris at the top of the ticket, 49% of women voters now support her, while 42% favor Trump and 7% back Kennedy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Among men, Trump draws a similar level of support as he did in the race against Biden (49% today, compared with 48% in July). But the share of men who now say they support Harris has grown (to 44% today, up from 38% last month). As a result, Trump\u2019s 10-point lead among men has narrowed to a 5-point lead today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"race-and-ethnicity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Race and ethnicity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harris has gained substantial ground over Biden\u2019s position in July among Black, Hispanic and Asian voters. Most of this movement is attributable to declining shares of support for Kennedy. Trump performs similarly among these groups as he did in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>77% of Black voters support or lean toward Harris. This compares with 64% of Black voters who said they backed Biden a few weeks ago. Trump\u2019s support is unchanged (13% then vs. 13% today). And while 21% of Black voters supported Kennedy in July, this has dropped to 7% in the latest survey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hispanic voters now favor Harris over Trump by a 17-point margin (52% to 35%). In July, Biden and Trump were tied among Hispanic voters with 36% each.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By about two-to-one, Asian voters support Harris (62%) over Trump (28%). Trump\u2019s support among this group is essentially unchanged since July, but the share of Asian voters backing Harris is 15 points higher than the share who backed Biden in July.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On balance, White voters continue to back Trump (52% Trump, 41% Harris), though that margin is somewhat narrower than it was in the July matchup against Biden (50% Trump, 36% Biden).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"age\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the age patterns present in the Harris-Trump matchup remain broadly the same as those in the Biden-Trump matchup in July, Harris performs better across age groups than Biden did last month. That improvement is somewhat more pronounced among voters under 50 than among older voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Today, 57% of voters under 30 say they support Harris, while 29% support Trump and 12% prefer Kennedy. In July, 48% of these voters said they backed Biden. Trump\u2019s support among this group is essentially unchanged. And 12% now back Kennedy, down from 22% in July.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voters ages 30 to 49 are now about evenly split (45% Harris, 43% Trump). This is a shift from a narrow Trump lead among this group in July.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voters ages 50 and older continue to tilt toward Trump (50% Trump vs. 44% Harris).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;how-have-voters-shifted-their-preferences-since-july&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-have-voters-shifted-their-preferences-since-july\">How have voters shifted their preferences since July?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Harris now at the top of the Democratic ticket, the race has become tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=184809\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ddd6d6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ddd6d6;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-02.png?resize=480,432 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-02.png?resize=782,704 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-02.png?resize=840,756 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"378\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-02.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows Since Biden\u2019s exit, many who previously supported RFK Jr. have shifted preferences, with most of these voters now backing Harris\" class=\"wp-image-184809 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of this is the result of shifting preferences among registered voters who, in July, said they favored Kennedy over Trump or Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the same group of voters surveyed in July and early August, 97% of those who backed Biden a few weeks ago say they support or lean toward Harris today. Similarly, Trump holds on to 95% of those who supported him a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there has been far more movement among voters who previously expressed support for Kennedy. While Kennedy holds on to 39% of those who backed him in July, the majority of these supporters now prefer one of the two major party candidates: By about two-to-one, those voters are more likely to have moved to Harris (39%) than Trump (20%). This pattern is evident across most voting subgroups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;harris-supporters-back-her-more-strongly-than-biden-s-did-last-month&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"harris-supporters-back-her-more-strongly-than-biden-s-did-last-month\">Harris\u2019 supporters back her more strongly than Biden\u2019s did last month<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July, Trump\u2019s voters were far more likely than Biden\u2019s voters to characterize their support for their candidate as \u201cstrong\u201d (63% vs. 43%). But that gap is no longer present in the Harris-Trump matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=184810\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e7e2d2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e7e2d2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-03.png?resize=480,624 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-03.png?resize=620,806 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"403\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/08\/PP_2024.8.14_harris-trump_1-03.png?w=310\" alt=\"Chart shows \u2018Strong\u2019 support for Harris is now on par with Trump\u2019s and is much higher than Biden\u2019s was in July\" class=\"wp-image-184810 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, 62% of Harris voters say they strongly support her, while about a third (32%) say they moderately support her.

Today, Harris\u2019 strong support among White voters sits at 64%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A near identical share of Harris\u2019 Black supporters (65%) characterize their support for her as strong today. This is up from the 52% of Biden\u2019s Black supporters who strongly backed him in July.<br><br>Among Harris\u2019 Hispanic supporters, 56% support her strongly, while 45% of Asian Harris voters feel the same.

But the shift from Biden is less pronounced among older Democratic supporters than among younger groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, older Harris voters are more likely than younger Harris voters to describe their support as strong.
