49% : The only tangible Biden administration accomplishment regularly featured in Harris' ads was the insulin price cap for Medicare.
42% : Listing different bills she helped get signed into law was a fixture of Rosen's early advertising, including a heavy emphasis on legislation to cap the cost of insulin for people on Medicare and to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices on certain medicines.
31% : "What are the things you can do to make it seem like she will make my life a little bit better on the margins?"National Democrats believed the message was working, with multiple polls, including NBC News' final survey, showing Harris shrinking the massive lead Trump once held over Biden on economic issues, even if she couldn't fight the issue to a draw.
30% : At the end, Harris lost where the senators all won, as Trump made inroads with various groups -- including Latinos, men and people without college degrees -- on his way to a significant Electoral College victory.
