Donald Trump is closing the gap with Kamala Harris in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election.
What was once a good slim lead for the vice president has all but disappeared with just 23 days until Election Day, according to at least two polls released Sunday.
An ABC News/Ipsos investigation reveals that while Harris is still ahead of Trump, the gap has shifted toward the former president by four points, yielding a result of 50 percent to 48 percent among likely voters.
The new gap is within the poll’s margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
In the meantime, a separate NBC News poll with a margin of error of 3.1 percent, it also shows that the vice president’s lead no longer exists and that she is now on par with Trump at 48 percent.

Previously, Harris had a five-point lead over Trump in the same September poll.
Trump saw his initial poll lead against Harris slip after the two faced off in their first – and likely only – debate last month.
It was widely believed that Harris had the better night when they met on stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 10 – and the election results afterwards reflected that.
But now Trump is closing the gap and Harris has just three weeks to make up the ground she is losing.
As the results of national polls get closer, so do the results in swing states.
According to ABC polls, Trump and Harris are tied for 49 percent in the seven swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
DailyMail.com polling in Pennsylvania showed the two on equal footing, with both candidates receiving 47 percent support from Americans who say they would vote for them if an election were held tomorrow.
Pennsylvania is considered one of the few swing states likely to determine the outcome of the election, as voters in swing states remain closely divided.
Trump claimed in an interview with Maria Bartiromo, host of Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, that Harris will lose the November election because of her administration’s response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene.
He said this, combined with Harris’ policies on immigration and the economy, could hurt her chances of promotion next month.

Former President Donald Trump said Harris’ response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene could hurt her chances in the 2024 election
The White House’s response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton has been slammed as lackluster by critics, who say not enough is being done to help Americans hardest hit by the devastating storms — and Trump says this is the surprise of October could be the one that hurts Democrats at the ballot box.
Meanwhile, the former president has claimed that President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris are not responding appropriately because North Carolina, Florida and Georgia are all red or red-leaning states.
“The other problem that’s really big, I think, is how poorly they’ve done with North Carolina and parts of Georgia. “If you look at what happened and Florida, we all see what’s happening there,” Trump told Bartimo in an interview. aired on Sunday.
“I think we were a bit lucky in the sense that it was bad, but it wasn’t as bad as they thought. And many governors have done a good job.” he continued, “But the response from the White House was absolutely terrible.”
‘[Harris’] The response was terrible,” Trump said. ‘So bad that they didn’t even want to – I see [Gov.] Ron [DeSantis] didn’t want her in Florida: “Just don’t even come here.”
