A recent poll from Hill-Emerson College, conducted in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, indicates that Harris is leading Trump among independent voters in all states except Nevada. Overall voter preferences show a split between the two candidates; Pennsylvania is tied while other contests fall within the margin of error. Specifically among independents, Harris leads by 6 points in Arizona, 16 points in Georgia, 3 points in Michigan, 2 points in North Carolina, 8 points in Pennsylvania and 9 points in Wisconsin. In contrast, Trump has a 6-point lead over Harris among independents in Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>When considering all likely voters across these states: Trump leads by margins of 50%-47% in Arizona and by narrow margins of 49%-48% each in North Carolina and Wisconsin. Conversely, Harris holds slight leads over Trump at 49%-48% in Georgia and at 50%-47% in Michigan; they are tied at 48%-48% each regarding likely voters&#8217; preferences for Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer Kimball from Emerson College Polling noted that &#8220;the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close within each state&#8217;s margin of error.&#8221; He highlighted that while Harris has an edge with independent voters across most states\u2014except for Nevada where Trump&#8217;s support stands at 50% compared to her 44%\u2014there&#8217;s also a significant gender divide similar to what was seen during the last election cycle. In six out of seven swing states surveyed, women favor Harris over Trump; however he does have a slight two-point lead among women voters specifically from Arizona\u2014a demographic that leaned towards Biden by about three percentage points back then.<\/p>\n<p>This poll comes shortly after another Fox News survey indicated a similarly tight race between both candidates across swing states. The Fox poll showed close competition with Harris slightly ahead or neck-and-neck with Trump depending on the state.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday&#8217;s campaign trail: Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Georgia alongside her running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), while Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) is reportedly hosting a fundraiser for Trump there as well. They will also participate together later on CNN for their first major interview since launching their campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Thursday as well: Trump campaigns through Michigan and Wisconsin\u2014two critical battlegrounds\u2014with just under ten weeks remaining until Election Day when early voting begins soon thereafter.
