Even as Harris narrows the gap, Trump still holds lead in swing states, polls show – Firstpost

While Democrats have recovered much of the ground they lost since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump still holds a lead in crucial battleground states, a comparative poll shows.

A number of states that have a history of swinging back and forth between Democrats and Republicans are known as ‘battleground states’ in the United States. These states are crucial to the outcome of the American presidential election.

In recent days, polls nationally and in some swing states have shown Harris largely catching up with Trump, and even ahead of him in some polls. For example, a Fox News poll of swing states showed Harris ahead in Minnesota, Trump narrowly ahead in Wisconsin, and the two tied in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Now, a poll of polls by Decision Desk HQ has reported that Harris is ahead in only one of the swing states, Virginia, while Trump is ahead in seven other crucial swing states. The poll of polls is based on an analysis of 83 surveys.

Trump still ahead of Harris in swing states: poll of polls

The Decision Desk HQ poll examined the survey for the states of Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

According to the analysis, Harris was ahead of Trump by 2.6 points, but trailed in every other state.

The findings of the poll of polls are as follows:

• Virginia: Harris 44.9% (+2.6), Trump: 42.3%

• Wisconsin: Trump 49.1% (+0.6), Harris 48.5%

• Michigan: Trump 49.1% (+2.0), Harris 47.1%

• Pennsylvania: Trump 48.5% (+2.6), Harris 45.9%

• Georgia: Trump 47.9% (+4.8), Harris 43.1%

• Arizona: Trump 51.1% (+6.4), Harris 44.7%

• Nevada: Trump 49.5% (+8.6), Harris 40.9%

According to Decision Desk HQ, Trump has a 2.1 lead over Harris, as he receives 48 percent of the vote to Harris’s 45.9 percent.

A caveat to the poll of polls is that it includes not only the most recent polls, but also older polls. As a result, it may not reflect the current and most accurate mood of the public.
