Sun Belt states look more competitive for Harris, according to new polls.
A majority of likely voters surveyed recently in Arizona and North Carolina said they would vote for her over Trump, and she’s not far behind in Georgia and Nevada.
Vice President Kamala Harris is coalescing support for her campaign over former President Donald Trump in four critical Sun Belt states that were previously slipping away from President Joe Biden, according to New York Times/Siena College polling published Saturday.
The polls were fielded Aug. 8-15 and surveyed likely voters in Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia about their attitudes toward Harris and Trump. When asked who they’d vote for if the election were held today, Harris and Trump both averaged 48 percent across the four states. The shape of the race did not change significantly when third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were included, with the controversial independent earning the support of just 4 percent of likely voters across the Sun Belt.
