2024 election update: Trump's 'bizarre' town hall, Harris down in new poll, countdown | Oct. 15

As the campaign heats up, just three weeks until Election Day, many are questioning former President Donald Trump's health after his Monday town hall appearance, labeling it "bizarre."

After several interruptions from the crowd, Trump chose to play his campaign closing song, swaying on stage for about 30 minutes as the audience gradually dispersed.

This comes amid new polling showing Trump rising from 44% to 48% and Harris dropping from 49% to 48%, drawing comparisons to polling after their first debate.

Latest polls

  • 'Deadlocked': A new NBC News poll shows Trump and Harris are "deadlocked" in the race for president as Republicans are coming back to support Trump after last month's rough debate and Harris's popularity is declining following a summertime boost. (Oct. 14)
  • Tightening race: Another poll by ABC News/Ipsos shows a tightening race - with Harris having 50% support to Trump’s 48% among likely voters. A similar ABC News/Ipsos poll in September showed Harris had a 5 percentage point lead over Trump. The Republican nominee's boost is likely fueled, in part, by dreary economic outlooks.
  • AAPI voters: According to an AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults are more likely than the overall U.S. population to view legal immigration as an asset to the country’s economy and workforce. However, their concerns about risks posed by illegal immigration are nearly on par with those of Americans overall. (Oct. 14)
