Zinger Key Points
- Kamala Harris gains momentum, edging out Donald Trump in crucial swing states according to latest polls.
- Pennsylvania's shift toward Harris could signal a major turn in the Electoral College forecast, challenging previous predictions.
The latest polls indicate that Kamala Harris is either leading or tied with Donald Trump in key swing states.
What Happened: According to a recent poll by Morning Consult and Bloomberg, conducted from August 23 to 27, Harris leads by 2 points in Georgia and North Carolina, 3 points in Michigan, 4 points in Nevada and Pennsylvania, and a significant 8 points in Wisconsin. The two candidates are tied in Arizona.
By contrast, a poll in July showed Trump leading President Joe Biden in all these states except for Michigan and Wisconsin. The recent results are a positive sign for Harris as the campaign enters its crucial phase.
Harris’s lead in Pennsylvania is especially noteworthy due to the state’s crucial role in the Electoral College.
Elections analyst Nate Silver’s electoral forecast model had recently shifted in favor of Trump, attributing the shift to Pennsylvania. However, the latest polls showing Harris leading in the state could indicate a potential change in the race dynamics.
