US vice president Kamala Harris has an slight edge over former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump in six of the seven key swing states, according to a Bloomberg poll. This in contrary to Joe Biden, who trailed Trump before dropping out of the race. Swing states in the US are usually referred to states that could swing anyway and won by either the Democratic or Republican candidate by a swing in votes.
The Bloomberg poll put Kamala Harris in front by 11 percent in Michigan, while in Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada with a 2 point head. However the poll also showed Trump ahead of Harris in Pennsylvania by 4 points and in North Carolina by 2 points. Besides, in Georgia they share equal support.
Wisconsin is the only state where Trump has reduced his deficit with Harris in comparison to Biden’s performance in a previous poll. The Bloomberg poll set a margin of error of 3 percent points in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania, 4 percentage points in Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, and 5 percentage points in Nevada.
In a previous Bloomberg poll from July 1-5, Trump stood ahead of Biden in Arizona by 3 percent points; in Georgia by 1 point; in Nevada by 3 points; in North Carolina by 3 points; and in Pennsylvania by 7 points. While President Biden, who has now dropped out and endorsed Kamala Harris, led in Michigan by 5 points and in Wisconsin by 3 points.
The polls come at a time when Kamala Harris is also scrambling to make inroads into traditional Republican strongholds like Florida. Recently the vice president, now endorsed by President Biden as his successor held an event in Florida that gained significant attention as videos of the rally, featuring a sea of golf carts adorned with American flags, went viral on social media.
As the campaign is picking up steam, Kamala Harris and Trump have also been trading barbs at each other and are soon expected to square off against each other in a debate that is likely to happen in September.
