A recent survey of key battleground states has revealed that voters are evenly divided between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, particularly regarding issues that matter most to them. The Wall Street Journal published the poll on Friday, which indicates a tight race in seven states that will be critical in the upcoming U.S. presidential election next month.
The poll surveyed 4,200 voters and found Harris with a narrow lead over Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, while Trump was slightly ahead in Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The report noted that in most cases, no lead exceeds two percentage points, except in Nevada, where Trump leads by five points—all findings are within the margin of error specified by the newspaper.
Overall, Trump is ahead of Harris by 46% to 45% across these battleground states. The poll highlighted overwhelming party loyalty, with 93% of Republicans supporting Trump and 93% of Democrats backing Harris. Furthermore, among independents, Harris holds a slight edge at 40% compared to Trump’s 39%.
Republican pollster David Lee, involved in the survey, emphasized the competitiveness of the race, stating, “This thing is a dead heat and is going to come down to the wire. These last three weeks matter.” Similarly, Democratic pollster Michael Bocian commented, “It really could not be closer,” describing the situation as “an even-steven, tight, tight race.”
Recent polling trends indicate that Trump and Harris remain within low single digits of each other across these crucial states. In an average of surveys compiled by RealClearPolitics, Trump is performing better in most states except Wisconsin.
When it comes to the issues of the economy and immigration, which voters identified as their top two concerns, the survey found that they prefer Trump over Harris by ten points on economic matters and by 16 points regarding immigration and border security. However, on the topic of abortion, Harris outperformed Trump by 16 points.
Looking back to the 2020 election cycle, President Joe Biden was leading Trump by five points in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at this stage. Trump had previously won all three of those post-industrial northern battlegrounds in 2016, only to lose them to Biden in 2020. Success in all three states would likely secure the presidency for either Trump or Harris this year.
