This poll is a complete mess internally. The answers are internally inconsistent with each other. There must be a bias introduced in the questions to get this kind of result.

Conclusion:

I should have posted what the question bias was.

Notice how they ask the "Harris on the economy" question (Q13) BEFORE they ask the "China trade" question (Q14) and the "who would leave you better off" questions (Q15-Q16)?

They push the respondent to choose Harris before they ask whose policies on trade and the economy would leave them better off.

That's why Harris tops this poll. If they asked the final preference question last, Trump would have beat Harris.
