Harris entered the race in July after Biden ended his reelection effort following a poor debate performance against Trump in June. On both issues, Harris' lead over Trump was largely unchanged from a Sept. 20-23 Reuters/Ipsos poll. Polls have shown Harris and Trump are neck and neck in those battleground states, with many results within the margins of error. Roughly one-third of registered voters are Democrats and one-third Republican, with the balance independents or something else, according to Pew. Only 46% of voters in the poll said they had a favourable opinion of Harris, and 42% said the same of Trump.
