A new survey found that 64% of respondents said they would like to see Vice President Harris face off against former President Trump ahead of the November election.
A Quinnipiac University poll found that a majority of Americans want to see the two candidates debate each other again, with only 31% saying they don't want a second debate.
The first debate between Harris and Trump took place on September 10. Shortly after the showdown, Harris' campaign called for a second debate, but Trump has so far not agreed.
The ABC broadcast of the debate was widely seen as a victory for Harris, who said Saturday she had accepted CNN's invitation to appear in a second debate, ratcheting up pressure on Trump to accept the challenge.
Two days after the two candidates first met, Trump posted online that there would be “no third debate.”
Harris' second meeting with Trump will mark the former president's third debate of the current election campaign. Trump met with Biden on CNN in June, but ultimately backed out and endorsed Harris after Biden's poor performance.
Harris continues to urge the former president to meet again on the debate stage.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, if a binary election between Harris and Trump were held today, they would each receive 48 percent support.
Ms. Harris has entered the campaign with a vengeance, but her support among voters may be slipping: Surveys have shown that 75% of her supporters were enthusiastic about her in August, rising to 70% in September, while Mr. Trump's enthusiastic approval rose from 68% to 71% last month.
Voters generally rated Harris as having higher ethical standards than Trump, but they also rated her higher than Trump as a candidate who is more considerate of the needs and issues of ordinary people.
The poll found that voters rate Harris better at upholding democracy and tackling gun violence, but Trump better on immigration and the economy.
Harris told reporters on Sunday that she was pushing for another debate because voters have a right to hear “what's your plan, what's my plan,” and argued that she and Trump “still have things to discuss.”
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted Sept. 19-22 among 1,728 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
