Polling Dynamics in the Harris-Trump Race
Recent polling shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump by four percentage points in key battleground states, with similar margins across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. This shift represents a significant change from earlier polling where Trump held a slight lead or showed a dead heat against Biden. The Democrats are now showing increased enthusiasm, with nearly 30% more Democrats expressing satisfaction with Harris as their nominee compared to earlier this year. However, analysts caution that the race remains tight, and while Harris is performing better than Biden did, the polling is still within the margin of error.
