Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has a narrow lead over Republican rival Donald Trump in six key US states and is tied in a seventh, according to a Bloomberg News poll.
Her lead in individual states is within the poll’s statistical margin of error, highlighting that the Nov. 5 showdown could be decided by a narrower margin.
The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll shows Harris leading by 7 percentage points in Nevada, 5 points in Pennsylvania, 3 points in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin and 2 points in North Carolina. The two are tied in Georgia.
In all seven states, Harris leads by 3 percentage points among likely voters, a lead that is 2 percentage points higher than last month.
In a sign of her recent momentum, about 47% of likely voters think she will win the election regardless of whether they support her, compared to about 40% who said Trump would win.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll earlier this month showed Trump’s campaign promise to raise tariffs on imported goods has the support of a slim majority of voters, demonstrating his edge on the economy over Harris.
A New York Times poll of swing states released Monday showed Trump narrowly ahead in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
According to the Bloomberg poll, Trump still maintains an edge over Harris on who would better handle the economy, but his lead is narrowing. His lead was just 4 percentage points in the latest poll, down from 6 points in August.
On immigration, Trump enjoys a 14 percentage point trust advantage among likely voters, even though during a Sept. 10 debate he reinforced a false claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating residents’ pets.
The poll sampled 6,165 registered voters in seven key states and was conducted online from September 19 to 25. The potential voters between them were 5,692. For both registered and likely voters the statistical margin of error is plus/minus one percentage point in all seven states.
For individual states, the margin of statistical error was 3 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and 4 percentage points in Nevada.
