Former President Trump has gained a narrow lead over Vice President Harris in pollster Nate Silver\u2019s prediction model just weeks before Election Day.<\/p>\n

Although the race remains essentially a toss-up, Trump now leads Harris by just over half a percentage point, with 50.2 percent to Harris\u2019s 49.5 percent, according to the model updated Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever nominal, it\u2019s Trump\u2019s first lead in our model since Sept. 19,\u201d\u00a0Silver wrote<\/a>\u00a0on his Silver Bulletin site.<\/p>\n

The political forecaster noted that just a day earlier, Harris was leading Trump by about a point, with 50.3 percent to 49.4 percent.<\/p>\n

Trump gained ground with \u201csome good polls\u201d entering the database on Thursday, Silver wrote, including a 2-point lead in a Fox News poll and a lead in a Georgia survey, The Hill noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harris took the lead in Silver\u2019s polling aggregation model nearly a month ago. Neither candidate gained or lost significant ground after the earlier presidential debate on September 10, but Harris was performing strongly in five swing states, giving her an advantage.<\/p>\n
