Vice President Kamala Harris' victory in Tuesday's presidential debate did little to change the support of North Carolina voters, and a new poll suggests it may have even given Donald Trump more support in the battleground state.
The poll showed Trump leading Ms Harris among likely voters, 48.4% to 46%. The Trafalgar Group poll was released on Saturday.
The poll, conducted Sept. 11 and 12, mirrors an August finding that showed Trump leading Harris by just two points, but suggests that 2% of Harris supporters may have switched sides despite Trump's lackluster performance on stage in Philadelphia this week.
Of 1,094 people asked who they would vote for if the presidential election were held today, the majority chose the Republican candidate.
Just 3.1% of voters said they were still undecided, and 2.4% chose a candidate other than Trump or Harris.
Results showed that participants were primarily white women.
Only 34% of respondents identified as an ethnicity other than white, and roughly 10% more respondents were female than male.

Participants were fairly split along party lines, with 35.2% identifying as Republican and 33.1% as Democrats, and the rest not identifying as either red or blue.
August Survey USA The High Point University poll finds the vice president holds a “slim” lead in the Tar Heel State, with a three-point lead among registered voters and a two-point lead among likely voters.
The FiveThirtyEight average of polls in the state gives Harris the slimmest lead, just 0.1 percentage point.
