(AURN News) — With Election Day approaching next Tuesday, polling data shows a significant shift in key battleground states that could prove decisive in the presidential contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. With the shift, the big question is whether or not the Vice President has lost momentum.
While national polling remains virtually tied between the two candidates, with some surveys showing Harris maintaining a razor-thin advantage, state-by-state data from Real Clear Politics reveals Trump leading in crucial swing states that may determine the electoral college outcome.
In Arizona, Trump holds a lead of 49.2% to 47.7%, while Nevada shows him ahead by a narrower margin of 47.8% to 47.1%. Wisconsin, another critical battleground, has Trump leading by the slimmest of margins at 48.2% to 48.0%. The trend continues across other key states, with Trump showing advantages in Michigan (47.9% to 47.7%), Pennsylvania (48.1% to 47.6%), North Carolina (48.6% to 47.8%), and Georgia, where he holds his widest margin at 49.2% to 46.9%.
These numbers represent a significant reversal from 2020, when then-candidate Joe Biden held a 3.8% advantage in battleground state polling averages, according to RCP. Current data shows Trump now leading Harris by an average of 0.9% in these same crucial states. The shift in battleground state polling could signal challenging terrain for Democrats as they head into the final days of the campaign. While Harris maintains competitive positions in national polls, electoral college math hinges on these key swing states.
In the end, the race is very close, and it is very clear that the country is split down the middle. Ultimately it comes down to the electoral college and the swing states and as of now, the wind is in the sails of Donald Trump.
