NBC News Meet the Press host Kristen Welker has just revealed in a new national poll that the lead that Kamala Harris held a month ago has evaporated.
Welker said on MSNBC new this morning “The big headline – this is a national head-to-head poll – is that VP Kamala Harris had a five point lead in our last poll taken a month ago right after the debate. That lead has all but evaporated.”
Welker goes on to suggest the race is deadlocked at 48% to 48%.

That is what we call a deadlocked race.” – @KWelkerNBC on a new @NBCNews poll. pic.twitter.com/HBLPS0ybtv

Welker says Kamala’s lead is now gone, but what that really means is that President Trump has taken those 5% points and added it to his own, meaning he clearly has the momentum going into the last few weeks of the race.
