Battle for Swing States Is Tied; Trump Has Edge on Top Issues
SUMMARY
A recent Wall Street Journal poll reveals a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in key battleground states for the 2024 election. Voters generally view Trump as better suited to handle critical issues like the economy and border security, yet the overall competition remains neck and neck. The poll shows Harris holding slight leads in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia in races that include independent and third-party candidates. Meanwhile, Trump holds narrow advantages in Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. However, no candidate leads by more than 2 percentage points, except for Trump's 5-point lead in Nevada. These slim margins suggest that both candidates still have viable paths to an Electoral College victory, keeping the outcome highly uncertain.
