Not great news for Kamala Harris.
The New York Times/Siena College poll came out Sunday. The big headline: The race is effectively tied with Donald Trump at 48% to 47% for Vice President Kamala Harris.
- Just 28% of people think the country is on the right track while 60% think it is headed in the wrong direction.
- Fully 3 in 10 voters (31%) said they felt like they needed to know more about Harris.
- More than half of respondents (51%) said that Trump would represent “major change” in Washington while less than half that number — 25% — said the same of Harris.
- The top issues on voters’ minds were the economy, abortion and immigration — in that order. On the economy, Trump has a 16-point edge over Harris on who is better equipped to handle the issue. Harris has a 17-point lead over Trump on the abortion question. Trump has an 11-point margin on immigration.
