The demographic breakdowns of each poll show weaknesses for both candidates among traditional voting blocs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">North Carolina<\/h2>\n<p>Trump and Harris were found to have been tied in North Carolina among likely voters, each with 49% of the vote. They&rsquo;re also tied among independents, with 48% of the vote each. This is an underperformance from Harris, as President Joe Biden won independents by four points in 2020, while Trump won the state.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is also underperforming among black likely voters, winning 86% compared to Biden&rsquo;s 92%. She has slightly more of the white vote than Biden did, though Trump still leads 59% to 40%.<\/p>\n<p>One surprise result is Harris claiming the Silent\/Greatest Generation vote, a bloc usually won by Republicans, winning 52% of the vote compared to Trump&rsquo;s 43%. In comparison, Trump won the same bloc by 11 points in the Arizona poll, while trailing by three points in the Georgia poll.<\/p>\n<p>The poll surveyed 1,348 North Carolina likely voters from Sept. 19-24, with a +\/- 3.7% margin of error.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arizona<\/h2>\n<p>Among likely voters, Trump holds a narrow lead with 50% compared to Harris&rsquo;s 49%. Harris leads Trump among independents 51% to 47%.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona is much less polarized along demographic lines than Georgia or North Carolina &mdash; Trump beats Harris among white voters by just three points, 51% to 48%, while Trump leads Harris among the large Latino voting bloc 51% to 49%.<\/p>\n<p>This is a monumental change from 2020 when Biden carried the Latino vote by 24 points.<\/p>\n<p>The Marist Insitute polled 1,264 voters from Sept. 19 through 24, with a margin of error of +\/- 3.8%<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Georgia<\/h2>\n<p>Trump held a narrow lead over Harris among likely voters, claiming 50% of the vote compared to Harris&rsquo;s 49%. Among independent voters likely to vote, Harris leads Trump by five points.<\/p>\n<p>Trump holds a massive lead over Harris in the state among white voters, 66% to 34%, while Harris holds a likewise major lead among black voters, 86% to 13%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The gender balance is similarly polarized, with men going for Trump 56% to 42% and women going for Harris 54% to 44%.<\/p>\n<p>The poll surveyed 1,220 Georgia likely voters from Sept. 19 through 24 with a +\/- 3.9% margin of error.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1769624\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1769624\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump and Harris in close contest in key swing states<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2346077,"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\/trump-harris-border-trip.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,32115,3634],"class_list":["post-2346075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-swing-states","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trump-harris-border-trip.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2346075","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\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2346075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2346075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2346077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2346075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2346075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2346075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
