In crucial battleground states like Wisconsin, Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in the run-up to the US elections in November. In almost all national surveys, she is doing better than before.
With only two months until the US elections in November, polls ahead of the Labour Day 2024 weekend show Vice President Kamala Harris holding a narrow lead over Donald Trump in key battleground states.
Former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump initially made gains against his Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris, in the presidential race. NBC News reports that, even after accounting for margins of error, Harris is outperforming Trump in almost all national surveys.
According to Pew Research, the margin of error shows “how close we might reasonably expect a survey result to fall relative to the genuine population figure.”
The latest Wall Street Journal polls show Kamala Harris getting 48 percent votes, while Donald Trump has consistently polled at 47 percent, within the margin of error. The Wall Street Journal, EPIC-MRA Michigan, and Bloomberg/Morning Consult surveys in Georgia and Michigan all show him at the same number. This marks a reversal from the polls seen before Joe Biden’s withdrawal.
Swing state polls Bloomberg/Morning Consult polls indicate Harris has surpassed Trump, within the margin of error, in Georgia (50 percent), Michigan (49 percent), Nevada (50 percent), and Pennsylvania (51 percent).
The Vice President leads Trump by a larger margin of 53 percent in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state.
On the other hand, polling in Arizona and North Carolina indicates a close race between Trump and Harris. This stands in stark contrast to the way Joe Biden performed in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina during his reelection campaign.
Donald Trump trailed Joe Biden.
Much before the U.S. presidential debate on June 27, Biden was lagging behind Trump before Kamala Harris assumed the role of Democratic nominee. Harris is doing better, and people view her as a more trustworthy leader overall, despite close margins in the swing states around the Great Lakes and wider differences in the Sun Belt.
The Wall Street Journal, Quinnipiac, and Suffolk/USA Today polls show that Kamala Harris is leading with 48, 49, and 48 percent, respectively, while Donald Trump is polling at 47, 48, and 43 percent.
