Watch as Donald Trump held a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Sunday (3 November) as a shock poll put Kamala Harris ahead in Iowa.

The vice president has surpassed her Republican opponent in a new poll in a state he easily won in 2016 and 2020.

Mr Trump's campaign has criticised the Selzer poll for the Des Moines Register newspaper, which found that women and older voters were responsible for the remarkable turnaround.

It found that in 808 likely voters, who were surveyed between October 28 and 31, Harris led Trump 47-44 per cent.

This was within the 3.4 percentage point margin of error, but it marked a change from a September Iowa poll that had Mr Trump with a 4-point lead, the newspaper reported.

The former president's team pointed to another poll the same day that gave the Republican a ten-point lead in the same state.

Mr Trump's rally came after he welcomed a shout from a supporter during an event in Greensboro, North Carolina, that Ms Harris "worked on a corner."

He was repeating accusations that his Democratic opponent never worked at a McDonald's, to which a person in the audience responded that she "worked on a corner."

Mr Trump then laughed, declaring: "This place is amazing."

Meanwhile, his opponent poked fun at his garbage truck struggles as she made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.
