Kamala Harris pulls ahead of Trump in key battleground states
As the authors of the latest poll believe, Kamala Harris has accomplished what Joe Biden did not: "She defeated Donald Trump," we read in USA Today. According to the latest survey, support for the Democratic candidate is growing.
According to the latest "USA Today"/Suffolk University poll, Kamala Harris can count on 48% support, ahead of Donald Trump, whom 43% of respondents intend to vote for.
The results show an eight-point change compared to the last poll commissioned by "USA Today." At the end of June, Donald Trump was ahead of President Joe Biden by almost four percentage points.
"Harris achieved what Biden couldn't this year: she defeated Donald Trump," the authors of the survey write.
Harris makes up lost ground
A poll published by Fox News is also favourable to the current Vice President. According to it, Harris gained a slight advantage in three of four key southern and western states in the USA.
According to the survey, Harris beats Trump by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead in North Carolina by 1 percentage point. In previous similar surveys commissioned by the television network, Trump outperformed the Democrat candidate - then still Joe Biden - by 5-6 percentage points in each of these states.
Voters believe in change
Interestingly, despite being the incumbent Vice President of the United States, more respondents pointed to Harris as the candidate who "will bring the necessary changes" than to Trump (49-48%). Harris also leads by 6 percentage points among voters declaring themselves as independent. He has reduced Trump's lead among those for whom the economy is the most important issue in this election.
According to the average of polls calculated by the "New York Times," Harris has a 3 percentage point lead over Trump nationwide. She wins by a smaller margin against Trump in three key Rust Belt states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania), ties in Arizona, and loses in Georgia by 2 percentage points.
