28% : Trump and his campaign have spotlighted far-left positions she took during her failed 2020 presidential bid.
27% : Trump on social media issued yet another message of retribution, threatening that if he wins he will jail "those involved in unscrupulous behavior," including lawyers, political operatives, donors, voters and election officials.
25% : "His advisers suggest Harris has a tendency to express herself in a "word salad" of meaningless phrases, prompting Trump to say last week that his debate strategy was to "let her talk.
24% : She is likely to warn that Trump presents a threat to democracy, from his attempts in 2020 to overturn his loss in the presidential election, spurring his angry supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, through comments he made as recently as last weekend.
17% : The Republican former president has at times resorted to invoking racial and gender stereotypes, frustrating allies who want Trump to focus instead on policy differences with Harris.
13% : Ahead of the debate, she told radio host Rickey Smiley that she was workshopping how to respond if Trump lies.
