The Economist asks:
In the 2024 US presidential election race, will the Democratic nominee be leading the Republican nominee in polling on 6 September 2024, according to RealClearPolitics?

The 2024 US presidential election is scheduled for 5 November 2024 (ABC News). The question will be suspended on 5 September 2024 and the outcome determined using RCP Average chart data as reported by RealClearPolitics in a two-way race between the Democratic and Republican nominees for the date of 6 September 2024 when first available (e.g., 2020 RealClearPolitics - 2020 Election Example, hover cursor over chart for date and data). If RealClearPolitics does not aggregate polls for a two-way race, the outcome will be determined using data as aggregated for the fewest number of candidates, and the polling for any other candidates will be immaterial.
