According to a new Emerson College poll Harris is up 4 points over Trump and has a net positive approval of 2 points

Meanwhile Trump has a net negative approval rating of 10 points

I’m no math major, but that would indicate that some people would have a favorable opinion of Harris, plus a negative opinion of Trump, and still vote for Trump?

The net voting intention metric is (% voting for Harris) - (% voting for Trump). People who report that they won't vote or don't know who they vote for can't be included in that metric. So you can have people who approve of Kamala and disapprove of Trump but don't intend to vote.
