Vice President Kamala Harris made history this year as the first Black and Asian American woman to lead a major party ticket. If she wins, she will break another glass ceiling becoming the first woman to be President. As Election Day approaches, a new poll suggests that despite the significance of her nomination, women's views on Harris are strongly colored by partisanship and ideology.

The poll was published by the Alliance for Black Equality, an advocacy organization that seeks to target Black swing voters in battleground states. The study was conducted between Sept. 5-10 among 1,487 women at the national level with an oversample of Black and Latina women.
