New polls in three Southern battleground states show that Harris' honeymoon period has ended in some of the few truly competitive states that will be contested in November's presidential election.

When you look Tar Heel StateTrump overturned Harris' two-point lead, winning with 60% of white voters, 60% in the Charlotte suburbs and 66% in the western part of the state, to Harris' 49% to 47%. Trump also leads among people who did not vote in 2020, 49% to 42%.
