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.
