More voters in battleground states trust former President Donald Trump to effectively handle foreign policy issues over Vice President Kamala Harris, though more voters nationwide trust her to do the same, according to a new poll.

The new survey comes from The Institute for Global Affairs, which polled 1,865 voting-age adults in the U.S.— 1,000 of which were from six battleground states— between August 15-22. The margins of error both nationally and in the pooled swing states are plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
