MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US presidential election will be held on November 5. Harris and Trump are running for the country's top job from the Democrats and Republicans, respectively.
The fight for the post of US president between Vice President Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump remains extremely tense and does not yet allow for a clear favorite to be identified, a poll conducted by research company SSRS for the US broadcaster showed.
Harris is supported by 48% of voters across the country, while 47% of respondents are ready to vote for Trump, the report said on Tuesday.
