A new national poll shows Vice President Harris is just one point ahead of former President Trump.
The survey found that: Conducted by CNN and SSRSAccording to the poll, Harris has 48% support among voters nationwide, compared with 47% for Trump, a difference that suggests there is no clear winner in the race at this point.
About 2% of poll respondents said they planned to vote for Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver, and 1% said they planned to vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
Voters' attitudes have shifted significantly since Harris rose to the top of the Democratic field after President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her candidacy.
Shortly after he decided to step down, voters were split on whether they were voting in favor of the vice president or as an anti-Trump vote, according to a CNN poll, and in previous surveys many Biden supporters had cited their opposition to the former president as a reason for supporting Harris.
The survey found that 60% of Harris' supporters said they would support her over Trump.
Meanwhile, 72% of Trump supporters say they would rather support Trump than oppose Harris.
Harris has slightly better support among independents than her Republican rival: 45% of independents support her to Harris's 41%, according to the poll, but that's mostly driven by female independents. White men are also more likely to support the former president than white women, the researchers note. But white women still favor the former president, with 50% of independents supporting Harris to 47% of independents.
The data shows that Democratic candidates are outperforming Trump among voters under 30, black and Latino voters.
About 2% of likely voters said they hadn't yet decided who they would vote for, and 12% said they had chosen a candidate but might change their mind with the days left until the election.
The survey mirrors other national polls suggesting the race will be close. Polls compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk show Harris leading Trump by 3.9 percentage points.
The CNN poll was conducted Sept. 19-22 among 2,074 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
