Trump and Harris neck and neck in four crucial swing states post-DNC – Washington Examiner
A recent Fox News poll indicates that former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a dead heat in four key swing states—North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia—following the Democratic National Convention where Harris played a significant role. The survey, conducted among approximately 1,000 registered voters in each state, shows Harris slightly leading Trump by a margin of 50% to 49% overall. Specifically, she has a 2-point lead in Georgia and Nevada and a 1-point lead in Arizona, while Trump has a narrow 1-point advantage in North Carolina. The results are close enough to be within the margin of error. These findings come after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, which has allowed Harris to gain ground where she is now leading in several swing states, including traditionally Republican-leaning territories. The Trump campaign responded to these polling results with skepticism.
Trump and Harris neck and neck in four crucial swing states post-DNC
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a dead heat in four critical swing states after the latter headlined at the Democratic National Convention, a new survey revealed.
In the latest Fox News poll featuring about 1,000 registered voters each from North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia, Harris leads 50% to 49% in a two-way race. The Democrat leads by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada and by a point in Arizona. Trump has a one-point advantage in North Carolina. All are within the margin of error.
The survey comes as Harris continues to surge in the polls post-President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Biden had been trailing Trump in most of the swing states, and the Republican even threatened him in lean-Democratic-favored states, such as New Mexico and Virginia.
Harris’s ascension has completely flipped the race, and she has gained a lead in most swing states while pushing for previously GOP-leaning North Carolina and Georgia.
The Trump campaign mocked Fox’s polling results, saying in an email, “It’s that time of year again. Fox is releasing atrocious polling.” The campaign laid out how Trump was also trailing in Fox polls in 2020 before outperforming them in the general election.
“President Trump continues to outperform polling from past cycles. President Trump is 10 points ahead of where he was in Arizona at this point in 2020, according to Fox,” the email said. “Likewise, he is running 8 points ahead of his 2020 polling in Nevada and 5 points ahead of his 2020 polling in North Carolina.”
“We see the same trend nationwide,” his campaign said.
On the issues, a majority of voters in the four states supported Trump by 16 points on immigration, 8 points on the economy, and 8 points on the Israel-Hamas war. Voters supported Harris by 19 points on abortion and 10 points on healthcare.
The economy, as it is across the country, is considered by 41% of voters to be the top issue. Voters in Arizona considered abortion and immigration to be more pressing issues than the other three states, while 45% of Georgians pointed to the economy, the largest number across the four states.
