The poll indicates that \u200dHarris has \u200ca 50% to 46% advantage \u2062over Trump in these states, a notable shift\u200c from previous trends where Trump had been\u2063 favored or competitive in battleground scenarios against President Joe\u2063 Biden, who exited the presidential race on July 21. Since that announcement, there has been increased Democratic enthusiasm reflected in fundraising and poll results.<\/p>\n<p>The poll data, however, falls within the\u200b margin of error and was based on fewer than 700 likely voters in each state. Interestingly, Pennsylvania&#8217;s results \u200dare particularly surprising given Trump&#8217;s\u200c prior lead in the state. This\u2062 poll also marked the first to include Harris&#8217;s recently \u2062announced running mate, Governor Tim Walz from Minnesota, who may attract moderate voters but whose\u200b policies could also deter them. the poll highlights a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fla-doctors-report-new-effective-treatment-for-covid-19\/\" title=\"Fla. doctors report new effective treatment for COVID-19\">potential turning point<\/a> for Harris&#8217;s campaign as the election approaches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris now leads in three swing states among likely voters<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1727391\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> leads former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump <\/a>in three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/swing-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>swing states<\/a>, according to a new <em>New York Times<\/em>\/Siena College<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/10\/us\/politics\/harris-trump-battleground-polls.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is beating Trump 50% to 46% in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan &mdash; a stark change from when Trump was threatening to pull away from President Joe Biden in almost every battleground state.<\/p>\n<p>The new poll further illustrates Harris&rsquo;s rise to lead the presidential race after Biden dropped out of the race on July 21.

Tim Walz (D-MN) into account. Harris announced him on Aug. 6, and the poll took place Aug. 6-9. Walz may appeal to moderate and Republican voters with his military background and past bipartisanship, but could also alienate them with his policies as governor of Minnesota, which shifted to the left compared to his time in the House.<\/p>\n<p>Voters in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Michigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Michigan<\/a> and Wisconsin are likely somewhat familiar with Walz, given his position as the governor of a neighboring state, and may be drawn to his midwestern persona.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s chances improve in Pennsylvania when third-party candidates are included, drawing Harris&rsquo;s lead down to 46% to 44%, but widening her lead slightly in Michigan and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Wisconsin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Wisconsin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The poll also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/08\/10\/us\/elections\/times-siena-poll-registered-voter-crosstabs.html?pgtype=Article&amp;action=click&amp;module=RelatedLinks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>touches<\/a> on all three states&rsquo; Senate races, showing Republicans trailing.

In Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, Harris has a 50% to 46% advantage over Trump\u2014a significant shift from earlier when Trump seemed poised to gain ground on President Joe Biden across various battlegrounds. This poll highlights Harris&#8217;s ascent in the presidential race following Biden&#8217;s withdrawal on July 21, which has sparked renewed enthusiasm among Democrats reflected in fundraising efforts and polling data. Each state&#8217;s results were within the margin of error and involved fewer than 700 likely voters.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania&#8217;s outcome is particularly noteworthy since Trump had previously maintained a lead over both Harris and Biden there. This poll also marks one of the first to consider Harris\u2019s new running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), who was announced on August 6; the polling occurred from August 6-9. Walz may attract moderate and Republican voters due to his military experience and history of bipartisanship but could also risk alienating them with his more progressive policies as Minnesota\u2019s governor compared to his time in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Voters in Michigan and Wisconsin might be somewhat familiar with Walz because he governs a neighboring state, potentially appealing to their Midwestern sensibilities. Trump&#8217;s prospects improve slightly in Pennsylvania when third-party candidates are factored into the equation\u2014narrowing Harris\u2019s lead to 46% versus Trump&#8217;s 44%, while her leads remain stable or widen slightly in Michigan and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also addresses Senate races within these states, indicating that Republicans are trailing: Former Rep. Mike Rogers is narrowly behind Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) at 42% to 41%, while Dave McCormick lags by 14 points in Pennsylvania and Eric Hovde trails by eight points in Wisconsin. As mid-August approaches, the presidential race appears tightly contested as both candidates continue their campaigning efforts; recently, Harris has visited several swing states while Trump held a rally in Montana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2322405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala_Harris_887_2.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,36342,32115],"class_list":["post-2322404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-likely-voters","tag-swing-states"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala_Harris_887_2.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2322404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2322405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2322404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2322404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2322404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
