Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in all swing states

New Delhi:

All eyes are on the US elections in 2024. Ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, former President Donald Trump is leading the predictions, particularly in all seven swing states, the latest AtlasIntel poll shows.

About 49% of respondents said they would vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, the poll shows, as Republicans hold a 1.8% vote advantage over his counterpart, Democrat Kamala Harris.

The poll, conducted in the first two days of November, covered nearly 2,500 likely voters in the U.S., the majority of whom were female.

As the 2024 presidential election enters its final days, the focus is on swing states, the battleground states that make the most important decisions about the U.S. presidential election.

Another poll in the swing states found that the Republican candidate is favored to win in all swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

In Arizona, Trump has the largest lead – over Harris by a margin of 51.9% to 45.1%.

When asked who Nevadans would vote for in the upcoming presidential election, 51.4% of voters chose Trump while 45.9% chose Harris.

In North Carolina, Trump leads with 50.4% of the vote, while Harris has 46.8% of the vote.

In the United States, presidential elections are shaped by three types of states: red states, blue states and swing states. Republicans have consistently won in red states since 1980, while Democrats have dominated in blue states since 1992. These states are generally considered predictable in their election results.

In swing states, the battle between Republicans and Democrats is often extremely close, with the winners prevailing by narrow margins. For example, in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won Arizona by just 10,000 votes.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week on October 29 showed Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump, with the Democrat leading the Republican by a single percentage point, 44% to 43%.

Interestingly, Harris has led Trump in every Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters since it began in July, but her lead has steadily shrunk since late September.
