State of the Race: How Battleground Polls See Trump-Harris

Election Day is here. The presidential contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is here, and the race is razor-thin.

Political experts largely agree that the outcome will hinge on seven key swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Here’s an overview by Newsmax of the latest polling data in these pivotal states:

Arizona: Trump is showing strength in a state he narrowly lost to Joe Biden by 10,457 votes in 2020, but won in 2016. A Victory Insights poll from Monday puts Trump slightly ahead at 49.2% to Harris’s 48.4%. Another survey by Emerson College/The Hill also shows Trump leading 50% to 48%.

Georgia: Trump maintains a slim lead here as well. According to an Emerson College/The Hill poll released on Monday, he’s ahead 50% to 49%. Similarly, an InsiderAdvantage poll from Sunday has Trump leading 48.7% to 47.7%, although a New York Times/Siena College poll on the same day gives Harris a slight edge at 48% to 47%.

Michigan: Harris holds a narrow advantage in this critical state. A Research Co. poll from Monday shows her leading 51% to 47%, but a Trafalgar Group poll from Sunday shows Trump slightly ahead at 47.8% to 47.4%.

Nevada: This state is proving to be a dead heat. Emerson College/The Hill’s Monday poll has the candidates tied at 48% each. However, a New York Times/Siena College poll from Sunday gives Harris a 49% to 46% lead.

North Carolina: Trump is leading in North Carolina according to multiple polls. Emerson College/The Hill’s Monday poll shows Trump ahead 49% to 48%, and a Patriot Polling survey from Sunday puts him at 50.5% to Harris’s 48.9%.

Pennsylvania: Widely seen as a crucial battleground, Pennsylvania is neck-and-neck. A Research Co. poll from Monday shows Harris with a slight lead at 50% to 49%, while the New York Times/Siena College poll from Sunday has the candidates tied at 48% each.

Wisconsin: The race in Wisconsin is extremely close as well. Emerson College/The Hill’s Monday poll shows both candidates tied at 49%, while the New York Times/Siena College poll from Sunday gives Harris a slight advantage at 49% to 47%.

These states will be closely watched as the nation heads to the polls, with each percentage point potentially tipping the balance in this tightly contested election.
