Vice President Kamala Harris’ victory in Tuesday’s presidential debate did little to convert voters in North Carolina — a new poll indicates Donald Trump may have even gained ground in the battleground state.
Trump edged out Harris 48.4% to 46% among likely voters, according to a Trafalgar Group poll released Saturday.
The poll, conducted Sept. 11 and 12, mirrors surveys from August that showed Trump leading Harris by just two points, but suggests 2% of her supporters may have switched camps despite his lackluster performance on the Philadelphia stage this week.
Donald Trump is holding a marginal lead over Kamala Harris in North Carolina, according to a new poll. REUTERSMost of the 1,094 chose the Republican nominee when asked whom they would vote for “if the election for president were held today.”
Just 3.1% of voters said they were still undecided, while another 2.4% chose candidates other than Trump or Harris.
The participants were mainly white females, according to the results.
Only about 34% of the respondents identified as an ethnicity other than white, while there were about 10% more women who participated.

Trump edged out Harris 48.4% to 46% among likely voters. The Trafalgar GroupParticipants were fairly split between party lines: 35.2% identified as Republican, while 33.1% were Democrat. The rest fell somewhere outside the red and blue.
An August Survey USA poll from High Point University showed the vice president with a “whisker-thin” lead in a Tar Heel State, where she was up up 3 points with registered voters and 2 points with likely voters.
The FiveThirtyEight polling average for the state shows Harris up by the narrowest possible margin, at just one-tenth of a percentage point.
