Napolitan News surveys ask an initial question to determine the candidate preference for each candidate. Then, a follow-up question is asked of uncommitted voters to see which candidate they are leaning towards. The results are then reported "with leaners."

On the initial ask this week- the number without leaners- it was Harris 48% and Trump 47%.

This Napolitan News Service survey of 783 Likely Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 18-20, 2024. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.5.
