Presidential Election Remains Very Close

The race for President remains a close one in the U.S., according to a new national Marquette Law School poll. Organizers report Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris earned 48% of support from likely voters and Republican former President Donald Trump earned 47%. About 4% of respondents said they would vote for someone else and 1% said they would not vote for president. Respondents were also asked what some of the top issues were for deciding their vote. The economy was the number one issue at 40%, followed by immigration and border security at 15%. The third most important issue was abortion at 12%. The poll was conducted from Oct. 1-10, about three weeks after the debate between Harris and Trump. Organizers surveyed 886 registered voters nationwide, with a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points. The sample size for likely voters was 699, with a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points.
