In a dramatic shift, Vice President Kamala Harris has made significant gains against former President Donald Trump in crucial battleground states, according to a new CNN/SSRS poll. This turnaround marks a major potential change for the Democratic Party. The latest polling data reveals Harris now leads Trump in several states where he previously held advantages over Biden. In Georgia, Harris edges out Trump by a single percentage point, 48% to 47%. Michigan shows a more substantial lead for Harris at 48% to Trump’s 43%. Nevada mirrors Georgia’s razor-thin margin, with Harris again at 48% to Trump’s 47%. Wisconsin provides Harris with her most comfortable lead, where she commands 50% of likely voters compared to Trump’s 44%.
While Trump maintains a lead in Arizona, where he polls at 49% to Harris’s 44% among likely voters, and Pennsylvania remains deadlocked at 47%, the overall trend suggests a reinvigorated Democratic campaign. Despite Harris’s momentum, the poll underscores persistent challenges for the Democratic ticket. The economy continues to dominate voter concerns across all six battleground states surveyed. On this crucial issue, Trump still holds an edge, with voters in each state favoring him over Harris when it comes to economic management.
Immigration also remains a strong suit for the former president, with respondents consistently rating him higher on this issue. However, the second most important issue for voters – “protecting democracy” – could provide an opening for Harris to further solidify her position.
