In the battleground states of Georgia and North Carolina, former President Trump and Vice President Harris are now reportedly separated by only one point, according to new polling released on Thursday.
Trump leads Harris by 1 point among likely voters in Georgia, with 48 percent support to her 47 percent, according to the surveys conducted by SSRS for CNN.
Harris maintains the same margin among North Carolina’s likely voters, with 48 percent support to her 47 percent.
The candidates are statistically deadlocked, as both leads are within the margin of error. There has been minimal change in the two months since CNN’s surveys of both states were released.
According to the survey, over half of the respondents in Georgia (59 percent) and North Carolina (52 percent) reported that they had already voted.
In North Carolina, the Democratic nominee has a 78 percent to 19 percent advantage over Trump among Black likely voters, while in Georgia, the Democratic nominee has an 84 percent to 13 percent lead.
According to the poll, she also has a significant advantage among white college-educated voters in both states, with 55 percent support to Trump’s 39 percent in Georgia and 53 percent to 42 percent in the Tar Heel State.
In Georgia, Trump outpaced Harris among white voters without college degrees, garnering 81 percent support to Harris’s 15 percent.
However, in North Carolina, Trump had a lesser advantage, with 65 percent support to Harris’s 31 percent, according to the survey.
In both states, voters expressed that they have more confidence in Trump than in Harris with respect to the economy, foreign policy, and immigration.
When it came to abortion, they had more confidence in Harris; however, they were divided on the matter of democracy.
The new polls were released just one day after a separate set of CNN polls showed that Harris had a 6 point lead over Trump among prospective Wisconsin voters, with 51% support to Trump’s 45%.
She also maintained a five-point lead in Michigan, with 48 percent of the vote to 43 percent.
The CNN questionnaires were administered to 732 registered voters in Georgia and 750 registered voters in North Carolina from October 23 to 28.
In Georgia, the margin of error was 4.7 percentage points, while in North Carolina, it was 4.5 points.
