In the four battleground states, a total of 49 electoral votes will be at stake: 16 votes each in North Carolina and Georgia, 11 votes in Arizona, and six votes in Nevada.
The Fox News poll was conducted between August 23 and 26 after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, when Ms Harris' approval rating was expected to rise.
The Trump campaign denied the poll results.
“It's that time of year again: Fox releases a terrible poll,” the campaign said in a statement.
The campaign noted that the network's polls “were off in North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada” during the same period in 2020, and said its only 2020 poll of the state, released in June of that year, “overstated” Biden's support in Georgia.
“President Trump continues to outperform polls from this past election cycle,” the campaign added. “According to Fox, President Trump is 10 points ahead in Arizona at this point in 2020. Similarly, in Nevada he is eight points ahead of his 2020 polling and in North Carolina he is five points ahead of his 2020 polling.”
“We're seeing the same trends across the country.”
