After the first debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the U.S. presidential race remains tight, but new polling from Leger suggests that it would have been a Trump blowout if President Joe Biden hadn’t bowed out of the race.

As of Sept. 11, 50 per cent of likely U.S. voters would cast their ballot for Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate, according to Canadian exclusive polling for National Post. Forty-seven per cent would vote for former President Trump, the Republican candidate. But that tight three-point spread, with Harris slightly in the lead, is wildly different than what it would have been were Biden still the Democratic candidate: 46 per cent would have voted for Trump and 38 per cent for Biden.
