All-America Economic Survey showed Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump locked in a dead heat with less than two weeks to go before the vote. The data also showed Harris with greater support among women, while Trump led with male voters. Pre-election jitters have crept into the market this week. The S & P 500 is down 0.9% week to date, on pace to snap a six-week advance.
