Kamala Harris Puts Sunbelt in Play

A new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll — conducted across battleground states after last week’s Democratic National Convention — “found Kamala Harris has narrowed or reversed Donald Trump’s advantage on key economic issues and established herself as more trusted than her rival to protect personal freedoms.”

“Harris now leads by 2 percentage points among registered voters across the seven states. She is ahead by 1 point — a statistical tie — among likely voters, a group that campaigns and pollsters begin to shift their attention to as election day nears. The statistical margin of error is 1 percentage point across the seven states.”

“Compared with her predecessor atop the Democratic ticket, President Joe Biden, Harris has opened up new possibilities for an Electoral College victory by putting Sun Belt swing states like Georgia and Nevada back in play.”
