Recent polls conducted by SSRS reveal that neither Vice President Kamala Harris nor former President Donald Trump has a clear advantage in the race for the White House in two crucial Southern battleground states. Likely voters in Georgia are evenly split, with 48% supporting Trump and 47% backing Harris. In North Carolina, Harris leads with 48% compared to Trump's 47%. The results fall within the margin of error, indicating a neck-and-neck competition in both states.
Both Georgia and North Carolina are pivotal states in the upcoming presidential election. North Carolina, which has leaned Republican in recent elections, saw a narrow victory for Trump in 2020. Georgia, on the other hand, flipped blue in the last election, with Joe Biden winning by a slim margin.
The latest polls show little change since the previous surveys conducted in late August for Georgia and late September for North Carolina. The data suggest that 95% of likely voters in each state have already made up their minds about their vote, leaving a small group of undecided voters who could potentially sway the outcome of the race.
More than half of the likely electorate in both states have already cast their ballots, with a slight edge for Harris. In Georgia, early voters favor Harris by a 7-point margin, while in North Carolina, the margin is 6 points in her favor.
The tight race in these battleground states underscores the importance of every vote in the upcoming election. With no clear frontrunner emerging from the polls, both campaigns are likely to intensify their efforts to secure support in Georgia and North Carolina in the final stretch of the campaign.
