Other key takeaways from ABC's poll include white men shifting to Trump.
Democratic presidential nominee and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage on Day 4 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, Aug. 22, 2024.and broadly is seen as running the better presidential campaign in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, with comparative doubts about Trump's campaign in his base and the political center alike.

At the same time, Trump continues to lead on the top concerns in the race, trust to handle the economy in general and inflation in particular, both by 8 points, and by 9 points on the immigration situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, albeit a lower-rated issue in importance in previous data. Trump also benefits from the fact that 46% call Harris too liberal -- though, on the other hand, 43% call him too conservative.
In terms of intensity, 64% of Harris' supporters back her strongly; one of the few measures to shift, this is up slightly from 60% before the convention. Sixty percent of Trump's support is strong, unchanged. For comparison, President Joe Biden, in July, had just 34% strong support. On some of these, again, partisan results are striking. While 91% of Democrats see Harris favorably as a person, 72% of Republicans say the same about Trump. Among independents, 44% see Harris favorably versus 28% who see Trump favorably.
