According to a new poll, the Democratic candidate leads Republican rival Donald Trump 47 per cent to 42 per cent in the race to win the 5 November presidential election.
She has increased her advantage after a debate against the former president earlier this week that voters largely think she won.
Ms Harris, 59, put Mr Trump, 78, on the defensive in a combative debate with a stream of attacks on his fitness for office and his myriad legal woes, highlighting the former president’s felony conviction on charges he falsified business records.
Some 52 per cent of voters familiar with the debate said Vice President Harris “gave the impression of having higher moral integrity” compared to 29 per cent who said the same of Mr Trump.
The debate, hosted by ABC News, attracted 67.1 million television viewers, according to Nielsen data, topping the roughly 51 million people who watched Mr Trump debate then-candidate Joe Biden in June.
