Good evening, welcome to politics nation. Tonight leaves no margin for error. Right now, new polling from Nbc News shows Vice President Kamala Harris with her biggest national lead yet over Donald Trump. With 49 of voters saying they would elect her today compared to 44 supporting trump. Still, within the margin of error. Less than two months Vice President harris has enjoyed the biggest Favorability Boost for any politician in nearly a quarter of a century. Voters say they prefer to have harris in terms of her mental and physical fitness, temperment temperament. They are still with trump on inflation and the economy. Despite the national numbers republicans still hold advantages within the electoral college. The events of the next 44 days will determine the outcome of the election. With another debate looking unlikely at the moment it remains unclear what Issue Or Event will be the deciding factor in this race. Joining me now, Michael Tyler for the Harris Walz campaign. Thank you for
