A recent series of polls released on Sunday revealed a close competition between former President Trump and Vice President Harris in seven key battleground states, just days before Election Day.
The polls conducted by The New York Times/Siena College among likely voters indicate a dead heat between Trump and Harris in Pennsylvania and Michigan. In Arizona, Trump holds a slight lead over Harris at 49-45%, while Harris is ahead in Nevada by 49-46%, Wisconsin by 49-47%, North Carolina by 48-46%, and Georgia by 48-47%.
Over 7,800 likely voters were surveyed across these states from October 24 to November 2, with a margin of error of 3.5%. Notably, 8% of voters who recently made their decision favor Harris over Trump by 55% to 44%. Additionally, 11% of voters remain undecided or open to persuasion, a decrease from 16% a month ago.
Among the top issues for voters in these battleground states, the economy ranks highest at 24%, followed by abortion at 18% and immigration at 15%. The polls also indicate that Harris is underperforming compared to President Biden in 2020 among younger voters, Black voters, and Latino voters.
Furthermore, in Senate races, incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey leads challenger David McCormick in Pennsylvania by 50-45%, while in Wisconsin, Sen. Tammy Baldwin's lead over Republican Eric Hovde has narrowed to 50-46%. The race for Michigan's open Senate seat shows Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin leading Republican Mike Rogers by 48-46%.
As the election approaches, the competition remains fierce in these battleground states, with both Trump and Harris vying for crucial support to secure victory.
