In four critical battleground states, Vice President Harris now maintains only small leads over former President Trump with approximately two weeks remaining before Election Day, while the Republican is slightly ahead in two others, according to new polling released on Monday.
The Washington Post-Schar School administered the survey, which surveyed voters in the seven swing states that will contribute to the election’s outcome.
The vice president is the clear leader among prospective voters in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Trump has an advantage in Arizona and North Carolina. In Nevada, the two candidates are deadlocked with 48 percent support each.
Harris is currently in the lead in Georgia, with 51% of the vote to Trump’s 47%.
In the 2020 election, President Biden narrowly won the Peach State, and Harris has dedicated a significant portion of her late-launched campaign to the state.
The survey also revealed that she is surpassing the former president in Michigan by 2 percentage points and is in the lead in Wisconsin, with 50% to Trump’s 47%.
The Democratic governors of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, and Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, have been out on the campaign trail to assist Harris in his election.
The state of Pennsylvania is anticipated to be one of the closest in the country, with both candidates competing for the state’s coveted 19 electoral votes.
Harris is currently in the lead with 49 percent of the vote, while Trump has 47 percent.
In 2020, Biden narrowly won Arizona, a critical Southwestern state. Trump has prioritized the regaining of the state this cycle, as immigration is a significant issue in this election.
According to the poll, he presently holds a 49 percent lead over Harris, who has 46 percent.
Trump leads Harris in North Carolina by 50% to 47%; both candidates will conduct visits to the state following Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the western region.
The margin of error of the Washington Post survey is 1.7 percentage points, and it was conducted between Sept. 29 and Oct. 15 among 5,016 voters in the seven swing states.
