Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are tied with 49% support each among likely voters just days before the US presidential election, according to a new national survey conducted by Emerson College.

The latest poll shows a slight change from early October, when Harris had 50% support among likely voters compared with Trump’s 48%.

The top issue for voters is still the economy at 45%, followed by immigration (14%), threats to democracy (14%), abortion access (7%), healthcare (6%) and crime (4%).

The survey, which was conducted by phone with around 1,000 likely voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Fortune 500 Innovation Forum will convene Fortune 500 executives, U.S. policy officials, top founders, and thought leaders to help define what’s next for the American economy, Nov. 16-17 in Detroit. Apply here.
