Harris narrowly beating Trump in 6 key battleground states: Polling
Vice President Harris is narrowly leading former President Trump in six critical battleground states, while the candidates are tied in Georgia, according to new polling.
The survey, published late Thursday by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult, found the Democratic nominee has the edge over Trump in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Harris has a 7-point lead over Trump in Nevada — 52 percent to 45 percent — and a 5-point lead in Pennsylvania, 51 percent to 46 percent. In Arizona and Michigan, the vice president has a 3-point edge over the GOP nominee, 50 percent to 47 percent.
Her lead is much smaller in North Carolina, 50 percent to 48 percent, and Wisconsin, 51 percent to 48 percent. The two White House contenders are tied in Georgia with 49 percent support apiece, the survey found.
The majority of Harris's leads, with the exceptions of Nevada and Pennsylvania, are within the survey's margin of error.
With Election Day less than six weeks away, Harris has an overall 3-point advantage over the former president among likely voters in all seven swing states — bringing in 50 percent support to Trump's 47 percent.
When third-party presidential candidates were added to the survey, the vice president’s lead expanded to 4 percentage points. Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver was at 2 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein was at 1 percent.
Pollsters also found that on the topic of handling costs of everyday goods, the party nominees were nearly tied, with Trump getting 47 percent support compared to Harris's 46 percent. Still, Harris had an 11-point cushion on who likely voters trust to help out the middle class.
On immigration, one of the most important topics for 2024 election voters, the GOP nominee still has the upper hand, holding a 14-point lead over Harris, according to the survey. The Democratic hopeful has a 24-point gap on abortion, 56 percent to 32 percent, one of her strongest issues, the survey shows.
The poll also indicates that Harris has done more to introduce her policy stances to battleground state voters, with 43 percent of likely voters in the battlegrounds saying as much. Around 40 percent said the same about the GOP nominee.
Nationally, Harris has a 4.1 percent lead over Trump, garnering 49.9 percent support to his 45.8 percent, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s latest aggregate of polls.
The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll was conducted Sept. 19-25 among 6,165 registered voters in seven battleground states. The margin of error was 3 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and 4 percentage points in Nevada.
