New poll shows Kamala Harris gaining on Trump among Hispanic voters
Vice president leads former commander-in-chief by 19 points among vital swing state voting group
"gaining on"? IDK about british English, but in the states "gaining on" someone means you're approaching them from the rear.
That's a mighty weird way to say she has greatly increased an already-existing lead over Trump.
Some polls have indicated that Trump was gaining on President Joe Biden among this group of voters before Biden decided to step aside as the Democratic nominee.
However, a new New York Times/Siena College poll sees Harris leading Trump by 19 percentage points among Hispanic voters – 57 to 38 per cent. In June, the same pollster found that Biden was leading among Hispanic voters by a single point – 45 to 44 per cent.
It makes sense in context. Biden was quickly losing the advantage, and Harris gained it back immediately.

For us (UK) it means to catch up to (statistically), we don't have the colloquialism you do.

Wow word salad.

it's a British newspaper so it'll use British terms.

gaining on means to come from behind in British the same as it does in American

the headline is misleading, "pulling ahead of" should have been used but that's not clickbate enough.

the independent is a piece of shit since it went online only.
