Deep dives
Trends in Recent Polls
Recent polling data shows a dynamic shift in the 2024 election race, particularly in battleground states. Notably, a final Iowa poll indicated Harris leading Trump by three points, a surprising contrast to Trump's previous eight-point lead in 2020. New York Times battleground polls highlight a reversal of trends, with Harris showing slight leads in Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, and Wisconsin, while trailing in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona. These varying trends suggest the election remains highly competitive, with less than a point separating candidates in several states.
