Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : But the battleground state polling picture is more varied: An EPIC-MRA poll of Michigan shows Trump with a narrow 1 point over Harris in that battleground, 47% to 46% among likely voters.
60% : Nationally, almost every recent survey shows Harris doing better than Trump by a handful of points.
56% : Still, that's a change from this poll back in June, when Trump enjoyed a 4-point lead over Biden.
54% : But prior Quinnipiac polls of registered voters found Trump narrowly ahead of Biden in June and 2 points ahead of Harris in July.
35% : That's compared with polling that mostly showed Trump with a narrow edge before Biden's departure.
30% : Before the June 27 Biden-Trump debate, Biden was trailing Trump by thin margins in the Great Lakes swing states and by wider gaps in the Sun Belt.
16% : The previous Wall Street Journal poll, conducted immediately after Biden's exit, had Trump ahead by 2 points, 49% to 47% -- again within the margin of error.
15% : And a USA Today/Suffolk poll looking at a multicandidate field has Harris ahead of Trump by 5 points among likely voters -- again within the margin of error.
14% : The latest Wall Street Journal poll finds Harris getting support from 48% of registered voters, while Trump gets 47%, well within the poll's margin of error.
1% : In the battleground states, meanwhile, a set of Bloomberg News/Morning Consult polls have Harris and Trump tied in Arizona and North Carolina; Harris ahead within the margin of error in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania; and Harris ahead outside the margin of error in Wisconsin.
