According to a poll released on the 29th (local time) by polling agency Ipsos, Vice President Harris's approval rating stood at 45%, ahead of former President Trump’s 41% by 4 percentage points.

This marks an increased gap compared to the same poll conducted by Ipsos and foreign media at the end of July, where Vice President Harris led former President Trump by just 1 percentage point.

Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who announced the suspension of his campaign on the 23rd, was recorded with a 6% approval rating.

The approval rating gap between Vice President Harris and former President Trump was particularly notable among female and Hispanic voters. In these two voter groups, Harris and Trump’s approval ratings were 49% versus 36%, respectively. This is a wider gap than the 9 percentage points (female) and 6 percentage points (Hispanic) shown in the July poll.

However, foreign media reported that former President Trump maintained a similar lead in the white and male voter groups as in the previous poll.

In the so-called "7 battleground states" that showed close races in the 2020 presidential election?Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, and Nevada?former President Trump’s approval rating was 45%, leading Vice President Harris’s 43% by 2 percentage points.
