With less than a month to go until Election Day in November, recent polls in key battleground states show that former President Trump is gaining momentum, making it a tight race with Vice President Kamala Harris.
In Pennsylvania, Harris leads Trump by 49% to 46%, but in Michigan, Trump is ahead by 50% to 47%, and in Wisconsin, he leads 48% to 46%. Harris’ lead in Pennsylvania has decreased from the previous month, while Trump has seen gains in Michigan and Wisconsin.
These three states, along with Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada, played a crucial role in President Biden’s victory in 2020. They are expected to be decisive in determining the outcome of the 2024 election between Trump and Harris. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are also known as the Democrats’ “Blue Wall,” traditionally supporting the party until Trump narrowly won them in 2016.
Both candidates have been actively campaigning in these states, with Trump holding events in Pennsylvania and Harris planning a visit to Erie. Senate elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are also critical, as they could determine which party controls the Senate.
In Pennsylvania, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey leads his Republican challenger by 51% to 43%. In Michigan, Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin and former Rep. Mike Rogers are tied at 48%, while in Wisconsin, Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin has a lead over her Republican challenger.
The polls conducted by Quinnipiac University show a sampling error of plus or minus 2.6 to 3.1 percentage points across the three states. The upcoming weeks leading to the election will be crucial as both candidates continue their efforts to secure these key battleground states.
Overall, the race between Trump and Harris in these battleground states remains highly competitive, with both candidates vying for the support of voters in the final stretch of the campaign. The outcome of the election could hinge on the results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, making them essential states to watch as Election Day approaches.
