New polling data from Marist College reveals that the race for president is neck and neck in three crucial Sun Belt swing states. In Arizona and Georgia, former President Donald Trump is currently polling at 50%, while Vice President Kamala Harris is close behind at 49%. These numbers fall within the margin of error, indicating a dead heat in the race. Similarly, in North Carolina, Harris and Trump are tied at 49% each, further emphasizing the tight competition.
The survey conducted in North Carolina took place after revelations about Republican nominee for governor Mark Robinson's past comments on a porn website. The results show Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Stein leading comfortably with 54% support, compared to Robinson's 43%.
Shifting focus to Arizona's Senate race, the survey highlights Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by a significant margin of 54% to 44%. This lead is wider than what previous polls had indicated, suggesting a strong position for Gallego in the race.
The polling data was collected from likely voters between September 19 and 24. The margin of sampling error for likely voters stands at plus or minus 3.8 in Arizona, 3.9 in Georgia, and 3.7 in North Carolina.
