2024 Election Polling Results and Analysis: Harris vs. Trump in Battleground States

The 2024 election is heating up as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump are locked in a tight race in the battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin. Recent polling from The New York Times and Siena College shows that Ms. Harris’s early advantage has been eroded by Mr. Trump’s strength on economic issues, making the race even closer than before.

With less than 40 days until Election Day, the polls indicate that the race is essentially tied in Michigan, with Ms. Harris at 48 percent and Mr. Trump at 47 percent among likely voters. In Wisconsin, Ms. Harris leads with 49 percent to Mr. Trump’s 47 percent, within the margin of error.

One key finding from the polls is that Ms. Harris has a significant lead over Mr. Trump in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, which could be crucial in the Electoral College. This district’s lone electoral vote could potentially tip the scales in favor of Ms. Harris if she carries Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

The polls also reveal insights into voter sentiments, with many expressing concerns about Mr. Trump’s behavior and character. Despite this, some voters remain dissatisfied with both candidates, highlighting the challenges faced by Ms. Harris in winning over undecided voters.

The upcoming election is shaping up to be a closely contested battle, with voters in key battleground states weighing their options carefully. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2024 election as the race continues to unfold.
