July 23 (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, followed both the Republican National Convention where Trump on Thursday formally accepted his party's nomination and the Biden announcement on Sunday he was leaving the race and endorsing Harris.

Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error.
Harris and Trump were tied at 44% in a July 15-16 poll, and Trump led by one percentage point in a July 1-2 poll, both within the same margin of error.

1. It's only been 2 days

2. It's a start

3. His numbers will go sourh once he viciously attacks her.

Voters will be turned off, especially women and younger voters.

In a couple of weeks, look for Kamala to surge.

4. So far, the only thing they're coming up with is she laughs

Hardly a negative trait…,

5. Just wait until he calls her "a DEI hire".

We know he is going to get very nasty because he is scared.

6. Bears repeating: The more people get to know VP Kamala Harris...

...the more they like her.

Contrast with the party o' putin.

Even when just starting out there's not much to like.

And then, when you get to know them, run away!

7. Conventions don't often mean much. This one will.

I think our delegates in Chicago will blow the doors off with all of the love shown to both Joe and Kamala and her new running mate.
I expect a pretty good bump in the polls from the convention. Hopefully, in the battleground states.

8. When it comes to polls

Polls just aren't reliable and have been worse lately. Even if voter sentiment were correctly interpreted, voter turnout has to be as well. Remember how Trump was down to Hillary or more recently, how the 2022 Red Wave never happened for republicans like they predicted from the polling.
