   > The latest NBC News poll has revealed a significant decline in Vice   
   > President Kamala Harris' popularity. In the October poll she and   
   > former President Donald Trump are locked in a tight race three weeks   
   > before Election Day. After her summertime boost, soon after taking   
   > over the Democrat campaign, Harris' favourability has dropped with a   
   > huge margin compared to the previous month.   
      
   The slide got faster after her latest public babbling.

   > “As summer has turned to fall, any signs of momentum for Kamala   
   > Harris have stopped,” stated Jeff Horwitt, a Democratic pollster who   
   > conducted the survey alongside Republican pollster Bill McInturff. The   
   > results show a dramatic shift: in September, Harris had a 5-point lead   
   > over Trump, but that advantage has evaporated, leaving the two   
   > candidates tied at 48% each among registered voters.   
   >   
   > The poll indicates a shift in voter sentiment, with concerns mounting   
   > that Harris represents continuity with President Joe Biden rather than   
   > change. This perception, coupled with a more favourable view of   
   > Trump’s previous term among voters, has helped Trump close the gap.   
      
   She couldn't win a debate against a 12-year-old.   
      
   > McInturff notes that Harris faces "headwinds" as voters see her as   
   > asking for another term from the incumbent party, while Trump benefits   
   > from a positive reassessment of his past presidency.   
   >   
   > Additionally, Harris' approval rating has taken a hit, dropping to 43%   
   > positive and 49% negative, a net rating of -6. This is a significant   
   > shift from last month’s poll, where her positive rating was 48%   
   > against a 45% negative, giving her a +3 net rating at that time. The   
   > decline in favorability comes primarily from independents and younger   
   > voters—key demographics Harris needs to retain support from.   
   >   
   > The poll also highlights a deep gender gap between the candidates.   
   > While Harris maintains a 14-point lead among women, Trump holds a   
   > 16-point advantage among men. Both candidates face challenges in   
   > securing support from independent voters, with many still undecided or   
   > unwilling to back either candidate.   
   >   
   > As the race tightens, the next few weeks will be crucial for Harris to   
   > reverse her declining popularity and solidify support, especially   
   > among key voter groups. Meanwhile, Trump seeks to leverage his   
   > regained momentum to tip the balance in his favor.
