Polls Show Harris, Trump Tied in Swing States

As the 2024 election approaches, a series of polls show a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris across key swing states. According to an Emerson College/The Hill poll, all seven battleground states are within the margin of error, with Harris leading Trump nationally by 1.7 points and among independent voters in most states. Additionally, newer polls indicate Harris has gained ground in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, suggesting a shift in the electoral map since she took over from Biden. Notably, her appeal has increased among black and Hispanic voters, which had previously declined under Biden. Political analysts emphasize that while Michigan and Wisconsin appear secure for Harris, Pennsylvania remains uncertain, heightening the significance of states like Arizona and Georgia. Kornacki's analysis highlights that Democrats could flip North Carolina, as urban areas are trending more Democratic and closing the gap with rural Republican strongholds.
