Harris v. Trump CBS News poll finds Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin race tight ahead of debate

October 21, 2024

In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — all tight races — we see the larger contours of the entire presidential contest ahead of the first Harris-Trump debate. The bulk of those White non-college voters, always a critical group in these states, say that opportunities for working-class people specifically would be better with Trump. And yet, other group dynamics still factor in: most of those non-college White voters think Harris would look after the interests of Black and Hispanic people more than White people. A big majority think Trump's comments and social media posts are insulting toward Harris and they, in turn, do not like that. And in turn, most Trump voters say they consider Harris' comments about him to be insulting.
