Although 70% of voters on both sides say they strongly support the candidate they’ve decided on, 24% of all voters surveyed say they are still deciding on who to vote for.
The results come as 64% of voters say they were better off four years ago at the closing of Trump’s term, with 29% preferring their situation now.
Trump continues to lead by a significant margin on the top issues voters are concerned about, with all voters surveyed trusting Trump over Harris 49% to 43% on the economy and 56% trusting Trump to handle the border, versus only 34% preferring Harris.
