A CNN poll indicates that\u2063 in Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, the candidates are within the margin of error, making these states highly competitive. Specifically, Harris \u200dhas \u2062a narrow lead in Georgia\u2064 (48%-47%), while Nevada also sees her at a slim\u2063 advantage \u2063(48%-47%). In Pennsylvania, \u2062the race is tied at 47% for each candidate. <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, polling in other states shows varied outcomes; for instance, Harris has a comfortable lead in Wisconsin and Michigan, while Trump leads by 5% in Arizona. \u200bThe poll highlights that certain issues resonate differently with voters; Trump leads\u200c in areas like the economy, immigration, and crime, while Harris fares better on issues such as abortion and protecting \u200ddemocracy. <\/p>\n<p>The reported sentiments about policy views\u2064 reveal that voters perceive Harris&#8217;s\u200b positions to\u2064 be more \u200dmainstream compared to Trump\u2019s, with many believing his policies to be extreme. Additionally, it&#8217;s noted that around 85-89% of poll respondents have already made their voting decisions, suggesting a firm commitment among likely voters.<\/p>\n<p>The overall implications of these polls hint at a highly competitive race where voter sentiment on key issues will likely dictate the eventual outcome in these decisive\u2063 states.  <\/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 and Trump neck-and-neck in three battleground states: Poll<\/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_1745151\" 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\">Kamala Harris<\/a> and former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Donald Trump<\/a> are in a close battle in three of the key states that will likely decide the November election, according to a new poll.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>A CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25088820\/cnn-polls-across-six-battlegrounds-find-georgia-and-pennsylvania-are-key-toss-ups.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"poll\">poll<\/a> of likely voters released Wednesday shows the two candidates within the margin of error in Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

Only 44% of Georgia voters surveyed said Harris&rsquo;s views were too extreme, with 56% answering that they are generally mainstream, while 55% of Georgia voters polled said Trump&rsquo;s views were too extreme and 45% said his policies were generally mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>Of the voters surveyed by CNN, 89% of likely voters said they have made up their minds, while 11% said their decision on who they will vote for may change.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nevada<\/h2>\n<p>In the Silver State, Harris also commands a narrow 48%-47% lead over Trump within the survey&rsquo;s plus or minus 4.9% margin of error.

A CNN survey of likely voters published on Wednesday reveals that both candidates are within the margin of error in Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. In contrast, Harris has a 6% lead over Trump in Wisconsin and a 5% lead in Michigan, while Trump is ahead of Harris by 5% in Arizona. All six states surveyed were won by President Joe Biden against Trump in the 2020 election; however, except for Nevada, they all supported Trump in 2016. These states will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the presidential election just 63 days away.<\/p>\n<p>In Georgia, Harris leads with a narrow margin of 48%-47%, which falls within the poll&#8217;s margin of error of \u00b14.7%. Among independent voters there, Trump has an edge at 44%-41%. On key issues such as the economy and immigration\u2014where Trump&#8217;s support stands at 48%-44% and 50%-39%, respectively\u2014he holds an advantage. However, Harris outperforms him on abortion (51%-34%) and protecting democracy (49%-43%). Voter perceptions show that only 44% view Harris&#8217;s views as too extreme compared to Trump&#8217;s perceived extremism at 55%. Notably, most respondents (89%) have already made their voting decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In Nevada, Harris also leads narrowly with a score of 48%-47%, again within the \u00b14.9% margin of error. She maintains an advantage among independent voters at 46%-43%. While Trump leads on economic issues (53%-37%), immigration (51%-39%), and crime (50%-40%), he trails behind Harris regarding abortion rights (52%-35%) and democracy protection (46%-45%). Voters perceive her policies as more mainstream than extreme by a margin of 54-45%.<\/p>\n<p>In Pennsylvania, both candidates are tied at 47%. Among independents here too, Harris has an advantage with a score of 51-31%. Although she lags behind on economic matters (50-42%) and immigration issues (51-38%), she does lead significantly on abortion rights with support from voters standing at about two-thirds.<\/p>\n<p>Across other surveyed states like Arizona and Wisconsin regarding crime rates among likely voters show mixed results: while Trump leads overall there; Michigan sees Harris slightly ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally noted are key Senate races across these battlegrounds that could influence control over Congress\u2019s upper chamber; Democratic candidates appear to be leading their Republican counterparts significantly except for close contests like those between Rep. Ruben Gallego vs Kari Lake or Sen Bob Casey vs David McCormick where margins remain tight.<\/p>\n<p>As Election Day approaches on November fifth\u2014with early voting starting soon\u2014the dynamics suggest potential shifts but also highlight challenges faced particularly by Republican fundraising efforts amidst favorable conditions for Democrats this cycle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2336565,"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\/09\/donald-trump-kamala-harris-cnn-poll-sept-2024.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33002,4021,3921,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2336564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-battleground-states","tag-harris","tag-poll","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/donald-trump-kamala-harris-cnn-poll-sept-2024.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336564","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\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
