Rasmussen shifted just last week to producing a daily presidential election tracking poll and enlarged its survey sample on Monday to 3,384 likely voters, giving it a margin of error of plus or minus 1 point. It has kept with its model for the 2020 election by including 35% of Democrats, 33% of Republicans, and 32% of independents.
Other surveys also show a Trump edge over Harris. Rasmussen has had Trump up over Harris for six weeks.

Trump has been basking in the recent surge in polls, displaying a new swagger and confidence while on the campaign trail. He has even added a bigger degree of humor while Harris has turned angry.
Just on Sunday, for example, Trump manned a McDonald’s fryer and attended a Pittsburgh Steelers game.
