New polls conducted in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina reveal a close competition between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in these crucial swing states. The surveys among registered voters indicate a tight race, with Harris leading Trump by a narrow margin in Arizona and Georgia, while Trump holds a slight edge in North Carolina.
Despite Harris's improvement over President Joe Biden's performance against Trump, she still trails behind Trump in terms of being trusted to handle the economy across all four states. The economy remains a top issue for voters in each state, with a plurality considering it a key factor in the election.
When it comes to fighting for the people and bringing about needed change, Harris has a slight advantage over Trump in some states, while the two candidates are nearly tied in others. In Nevada and Georgia, Harris leads in fighting for the people, while the candidates are evenly matched in North Carolina. On the issue of bringing needed change, the race is close in all four states.
Additionally, the polls show Democratic Senate candidates leading their Republican counterparts in Arizona and Nevada. Incumbent Democrat Jacky Rosen and Democrat Ruben Gallego are ahead of their Republican opponents in these states.
The surveys were conducted from August 23 to 26 through a combination of telephone and online interviews with approximately 1,000 voters in each state. With no clear leader emerging in these critical swing states, the upcoming elections are poised to be closely contested and closely watched.
