(The Center Square) – At least seven polls that started sampling after the presidential debate on Sept. 10 are in for battleground Georgia, and Republican former President Donald Trump has yet to trail.
He’s yet to fully eclipse the margins of error, thus remaining statistically tied with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
Overall, with no margin of error, the RealClear Polling website puts him ahead 48.9%-46.7% for the Sept. 4-24 period. At Project 538, Trumps leads the aggregate 48.4%-47.2%.
Latest poll to arrive was Thursday, when the Marist Poll returned a Trump lead of 50%-49%. The poll measured 1,220 likely voters last Thursday through Tuesday and offers margin of error at +/- 3.9%.
Independent respondents chose Harris 51%-46%; Blacks chose Harris 86%-13% and whites chose Trump 66%-34%; women chose Harris 54%-44% and men chose Trump 56%-42%; and the poll said Harris was 6 points better with GenZ/millennials. Generation Z is the youngest, born in 2001 or after; millennials are born between 1981 to 2000.
Inflation was the top issue for 34%, preserving democracy 24%, immigration 13% and abortion 11%.
The only poll since the debate with Harris even (48%) was by American Greatness/TIPP with +/- 3.5% margin of error among 935 likely voters.
Trump led CBS News, Rasmussen Reports, New York Times/Siena, The Hill/Emerson and Trafalgar Group.
In 2020, Trump lost the state 49.5%-49.3% when Harris was on the ticket of Joe Biden, the eventual electoral college winner. In 2016, Trump won the state 50.8%-45.6% over the ticket of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.
Election Day is 40 days away.
