WASHINGTON: Former President Donald Trump has gained a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in all major swing states, according to a recent poll by AtlasIntel.

The survey, which has created fresh momentum for Trump’s campaign, indicates the former president holds a narrow yet consistent lead in key battlegrounds like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive election.

In Arizona, Trump commands his largest lead, with 52.3% support compared to Harris’s 45.8%. In Nevada, another critical state, he maintains an edge with 51.2% over Harris’s 46%. In North Carolina and Georgia, both of which have seen heavy campaigning by both candidates, Trump holds leads of 50.5% to 47.1% and 50.1% to 47.6%, respectively.

Other swing states, such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, show tighter races. Trump holds a slim margin in Pennsylvania with 49.6% to Harris’s 47.8%, while in Michigan, Harris trails narrowly with Trump at 49.7% and Harris at 48.2%. Wisconsin has emerged as one of the closest battlegrounds, with Trump leading Harris by only a single percentage point — 49.7% to 48.6%.

The survey, conducted by AtlasIntel, which accurately predicted results across swing states in the 2020 election, currently shows Trump at 49% support among likely voters, compared to Harris’s 47.2%. With both candidates working to energize their base, these results may influence their final campaign strategies as they approach Election Day.

In a surprising twist, the Des Moines Register recently released a poll showing Harris with a three-point lead over Trump in Iowa, a state he won in both 2016 and 2020. This unexpected boost reflects the competitive nature of the race as candidates battle for support across the country.

Meanwhile, both Trump and Harris are making stops in crucial states. On Saturday, their paths intersected in Charlotte, North Carolina, where both held rallies. Harris, who also made campaign stops in Georgia, aims to capture undecided voters in swing states that could decide the outcome of the election.

The vice president has continued to campaign, even making a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in New York. Meanwhile, Trump plans to cover ground with rallies across Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

With early voting exceeding 73 million ballots, enthusiasm and turnout are high. The intense competition has left the outcome highly uncertain, with only one to two points separating the candidates in key states.
