A new New York Times/Siena College poll indicates momentum may be shifting towards Vice President Kamala Harris in some critical swing states. The survey found Harris holding slim leads over former President Donald Trump among likely voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania - three states that were key to Trump's 2020 Electoral College victory.
Key Findings:
• In MI, WI, and PA, Harris leads Trump 50% to 46% among likely voters
- Though within the poll's margin of error
• Marks reshuffle since Biden's exit and Harris taking over Dem ticket
- In May, Biden trailed Trump in MI and PA
Trump Campaign Pushback:
• Claims poll "dramatically understated" Trump's support
• Accuses pollsters of "depressing" his numbers
Other Factors:
• Economy top issue amid recession fears after market turmoil
• Harris riding enthusiasm wave with surge in donations, volunteers
While the race remains tight, the poll suggests Harris has made up ground lost under Biden. However, with 87 days until the election, Trump still sees himself as the frontrunner despite Harris' perceived momentum.
