Harris and Trump deadlocked in new 2024 presidential election poll as Manchin pulls support: Live updates
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are essentially tied among likely voters according to a new CNN poll, with the Democrat leading by a one per cent margin.
A new Quinnipiac University poll, meanwhile, shows the same neck-and-neck result, only with Trump ahead by one per cent.
Other projections have shown Harris leading by a larger margin. The latest Reuters poll has Harris up six points nationally.
Amid the tightening race, Harris has told Wisconsin Public Radio that she is in favor of axing the Senate filibuster in order to codify abortion protections that were previously guaranteed under Roe v Wade. The stance may have cost Harris the support of Senator Joe Machin.
Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to take jobs from other countries if he wins the presidency in November through a program of tariff hikes and tax incentives that he believes will encourage foreign companies to relocate production to the US.
The Republican presidential nominee was speaking at a rally in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday as part of a week of swing state events.
