In crucial swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Nevada, the races between Trump and Harris are too close to call, according to a poll.
In Michigan and Wisconsin, Harris maintains an edge, while Arizona tilts toward Trump.
A new CNN poll shows that former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a close race in major swing states as their campaigns approach the end of the election season.
In the Wednesday poll, Harris had slight leads in Michigan and Wisconsin, while Trump led in Arizona. Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania were toss-ups.
In Wisconsin, Harris leads Trump 50-44%, while in Michigan, Harris has a 48-43% advantage. In Arizona, Trump holds a 49-44% lead over Harris. In Georgia and Nevada, Harris is ahead of Trump by 1%, while in Pennsylvania, both candidates are tied at 47%.
A CNN poll of likely voters was conducted from Aug. 23-29, following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and has a margin of error of 4.9%.
The Trump campaign pollsters are content with the former president's current standing in national surveys. They emphasize that he has a track record of exceeding public opinion polls.
"In 2016, Donald Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton by an average of 5.9 points, while in 2020, Joe Biden was leading by 6.9 points, according to senior adviser Corey Lewandowski in a recent interview on "Planet Chronicle Sunday.""
The entry of Harris into the race has revitalized Democratic voters, who had low enthusiasm during Biden's re-election campaign.
Despite other polling showing less favorable results for Trump, he has shown improvement in his support among Hispanics in 2022.
Trump has a 42% to 37% edge over Harris among Hispanic voters on immigration policy, while 46% of the broader electorate prefers Trump over the 36% who supports Harris on this issue.
A poll shows that Hispanics, a rapidly expanding group in the US electorate, prefer Harris' approach to health care by 18 points and to climate change by 23 points, while on the economy, they prefer Trump's platform by 45% to 36%.
Nate Silver, a well-known election predictor, lowered Harris' chances of winning on Tuesday. He pointed out that Harris did not perform as well in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state with the most Electoral College votes.
Silver pointed out that Harris did not receive as much of a boost from the DNC as election models had predicted.
