In Key Swing States, Poll Shows Kamala Harris Even with Donald Trump

July 31 :
Just over a week after being named the likely Democratic nominee, US Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly erased the advantage of former President Donald Trump in seven crucial battleground states, according to The Hill. This happened on July 31 in Washington DC.
Nearly half of voters in every swing state supported Harris, while nearly half supported Trump, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll.

When broken down by state, we see that each contender has a commanding lead in at least one swing state, while the rest are quite close. This is a significant change from the same polls done at the beginning of July, which showed Biden trailing Trump by 2 percentage points nationally and five of the seven battleground states leaning toward Trump.

Harris gained an 11-point lead against Trump in Michigan, 2 points in Nevada, 2 points in Arizona, and 2 points in Wisconsin, according to Tuesday's survey. In North Carolina, Trump had a two-point lead against Harris, while in Pennsylvania, he had a four-point lead. The Hill reported that both candidates have 47% of the vote in Georgia.

From July 24-28, 4,973 eligible voters were polled. One percentage point is the margin of error. This survey by Bloomberg/Morning Consult is only the most recent evidence that the Democratic Party has gained substantial ground because to Harris's campaign after Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

After Biden's withdrawal, Harris wasted little time winning over Democrats and amassing almost USD 200 million in her first week of campaigning for president. Harris and Trump have been in a tight contest in all of the surveys released since she was announced as the probable Democratic nominee. According to The Hill, however, Harris has publicly stated that her campaign would be the underdog if it were to go up against the former president's.

Let us not lose sight of the fact that we face an uphill battle. We have an uphill battle ahead of us. This contest has us pegged as the underdogs," Harris told Massachusetts donors on Saturday. "But this is a people-powered campaign, and we have momentum."
