Trump Edges Out Harris in Crucial Swing States, Poll Finds
The Times poll suggests that Trump has made some gains in key battleground states since August. A Fox News national poll conducted in mid-August found that Harris led Trump by 2 percentage points in a 50%-48% matchup. However, the new Times poll shows that Trump has now gained a narrow lead in three swing states that he lost to President Biden in 2020.
Arizona and Georgia would be major victories for Trump in the general election, as both states are considered to be competitive. Arizona in particular represents a major swing toward Trump, as a Times poll in August found that Harris was leading by 5 percentage points.
