This marks the third instance in nine polls where Harris is not\u200b trailing Trump, but she is not overtly winning either. The poll, conducted from September 17-20 with a margin of\u2064 error of +\/- 3.5%, indicates that \u2064both candidates remain statistically tied throughout the polling, illustrating\u2064 a competitive race. <\/p>\n<p>Harris has strong support among Democrats,\u2062 women, younger voters, \u200dand urban residents, whereas Trump appeals more to Republicans, rural voters, and older \u200cdemographics. The poll also suggests Harris leads among unaffiliated suburban voters. With North\u2062 Carolina being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-superior-court-orders-maricopa-county-ariz-to-turn-over-2-1m-ballots-from-nov-election\/\" title=\"U.S. Superior Court orders Maricopa County Ariz. to turn over 2.1M ballots from Nov. election\">critical battleground state<\/a> in the electoral landscape, the outcomes\u2064 of such polls carry significant implications for the upcoming elections. Additionally, the article touches on the governor&#8217;s\u2062 race in North Carolina, noting the impact of a damaging\u2062 report on the Republican candidate&#8217;s campaign, resulting in shifts in\u2063 voter support towards the \u200bDemocratic candidate, Josh Stein.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris, Trump dead even in Meredith Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1771411\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash; For just the third time in nine polls since their debate, Kamala Harris is not trailing Donald Trump in polling of battleground North Carolina voters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-harris-win-undecided-voters-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Can Harris win undecided voters? - Washington Examiner\">vice president isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t winning this time either.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, nominee of the Democratic Party after incumbent President Joe Biden stepped aside on July 21, and Trump are tied at 48%&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meredith.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Meredith-Poll-Report-September-2024.docx.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>in the sampling by the Meredith Poll<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;of 802 likely voters conducted a week ago, from Sept. 17-20.
