Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : "Harris praised efforts to examine police budgets in the wake of the George Floyd movement but distanced herself from those views when she became President Biden's running mate later in 2020 and then went on to increase money for law enforcement.
35% : Trump has boasted that as president he appointed Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, fulfilling a 2016 campaign promise, but the issue has become one of his biggest political vulnerabilities.
33% : Trump has said cities are "out of control" as he attempts to couple the issue with immigration and describe a broader sense of disorder.
21% : Trump suggested in a late August interview with NBC that he might support Florida's abortion rights measure but reversed course a day later after antiabortion activists criticized him.
12% : Trump in August misleadingly claimed Harris "destroyed California" because of her alleged role in Proposition 47, despite her lack of involvement in passing the measure.
