Former President Donald Trump currently leads by six points in Arizona, while Vice President Kamala Harris leads by four points in Pennsylvania, according to recent polls from the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Siena College. The polls, which surveyed over 1,600 voters in these crucial swing states, highlight the close nature of the presidential race as both candidates work to sway undecided voters.
Trump’s support in Arizona is driven by voter concerns about the economy, while Harris maintains an advantage in Pennsylvania due to her stance on abortion. Voters in Pennsylvania trust Harris over Trump to handle the issue of abortion by a significant margin. While Harris’ lead in Pennsylvania is within the margin of error, it has been consistent in polls for several months, making the state a key battleground with 19 electoral votes.
In terms of handling the economy, Trump leads Harris by 11 points in Pennsylvania, a substantial increase from previous polls, and by 15 points in Arizona. Both campaigns are heavily investing in Pennsylvania in the final weeks leading up to the election, with roughly $350 million spent on television ads and frequent campaign visits from both Harris, Trump, and outside groups.
Overall, the polls show a tight race in both states, with Trump holding a slight lead in Arizona and Harris maintaining a small advantage in Pennsylvania. Both candidates are working hard to secure the crucial swing state votes as they race towards election day.
