With two weeks left before Election Day, Vice President Harris holds slim leads over former President Trump in four critical battleground states, while the former president is slightly ahead in two others, new polling found.
The poll, conducted by the Washington Post-Schar School, surveyed voters in the seven swing states that will help determine the winner of the election.
Among likely voters, the vice president leads in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while Trump enjoys advantages in Arizona and North Carolina. The two candidates are tied, each with 48 percent support, in Nevada.
Harris is leading in Georgia, 51 percent to Trump’s 47 percent. The Peach State narrowly went to President Biden in the 2020 election and Harris has spent a lot of her short-lived campaign in the state.
The survey found she is also leading in Wisconsin, with 50 percent to Trump’s 47 percent, and tops the former president in Michigan by 2 percentage points. The Democratic governors of the two states, Tony Evers (Wis.) and Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.), have been on the campaign trail to help elect Harris.
Both candidates are vying for Pennsylvania’s coveted 19 electoral votes in what is expected to be one of the closest states across the country. Harris currently leads there, 49 percent to Trump’s 47 percent.
Arizona is a key southwestern state that narrowly went to Biden in 2020. With immigration at a major concern of this election, Trump has focused his time on winning back the state this cycle. He leads Harris 49 percent to her 46 percent in the state, according to the poll.
Trump also leads in North Carolina. The former president stands at 50 percent to Harris’s 47 percent in the Tar Heel State. Both candidates will make visits to North Carolina after the western region of the state was hit hard by Hurricane Helene.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris has a 1.5 percentage point lead over Trump based on an aggregation of polls.
