Harris Leads or Ties in Key Battleground States

Vice President Kamala Harris has significantly closed the gap with former President Donald Trump in key battleground states, according to a recent Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll. Harris now leads or is tied with Trump in six out of seven critical states, showing marked improvement since Biden's exit from the 2024 race. Harris leads in Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin, while Trump maintains a slim lead in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, with both candidates tied in Georgia. Both campaigns are intensifying their advertising efforts, with Harris rolling out a $50 million ad blitz and Trump countering with a $12 million campaign focused on immigration and crime. Harris is also leveraging her background as California’s Attorney General to reframe immigration debates and criticize Trump’s border security record. The polling indicates a tight race, but Harris's current momentum suggests she could reassemble the voter coalition that propelled Obama to the White House.
