A new poll shows Vice President Harris has gained support on key issues and maintains a three-point lead over former President Trump.
An NPR/PBS/Marist poll found Ms Harris leading Mr Trump 51% to 48%, within the margin of error, and she also narrowed Mr Trump’s lead on key issues such as the economy.
Polls show that Trump still has a sizeable six-point lead on illegal immigration, while Harris has a huge 15-point lead on abortion.
The Marist poll was conducted Aug. 1-4 and has a published margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
