Donald Trump has edged ahead of Kamala Harris in the latest polls, with less than two weeks until the US election. 

A Wall Street Journal poll shows the Republican two points ahead of the Democrat – a direct swap from when they last did the poll in August. 

A CNBC poll also shows Trump ahead of Harris by two points. 

US correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking potential reasons behind this shift are Trump's negative ads and Harris having a couple of shaky media appearances. 

He says Barack Obama's former campaign manager David Axelrod described one of her answers in a CNN town hall as a word salad.
