76% : Here are four key trends that have emerged since Harris took Biden's place at the top of the ticket: The latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll -- conducted when Biden was on the brink of ending his campaign -- was one of the first to test Harris vs. Trump in this new environment.
73% : Compared to Biden, it found her performing 3 points better among women, 7 points better among Americans ages 18 to 29, 7 points better among independents, 8 points better among Black Americans and 13 points better among those who view both Biden and Trump unfavorably (so-called double haters).
72% : According to this week's Fox News surveys, Harris now enjoys a higher favorable rating than Trump in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Minnesota; in Michigan, the two candidates are on equal footing at 49% apiece.
