Harris, Trump neck and neck in swing states: Poll

A new survey found Vice President Harris and former President Trump are neck and neck in swing states.

According to the survey, released Thursday by Ipsos, voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada have Harris and Trump in a “statistical dead heat for the presidency.”

Overall, Harris earned 50 percent support compared to Trump’s 48 percent.

Adding Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the mix, both candidates lost support. Harris earned 42 percent, while Trump received 40. Kennedy got 5 percent, the survey found.

Harris’s and Trump’s percentages are “well within” the survey’s margin of error and indicate that the race is too close to call, the survey said.

Seventy-one percent of registered Democrats in the swing states said they are certain they will vote in November, and 73 percent of registered Republicans said they will vote.

The swing state voters said the biggest issues of concern were inflation, immigration and political extremism or polarization.

Trump earned the advantage on immigration, with 45 percent of voters saying he has a better plan. Harris earned 31 percent.

The former president also earned the advantage on war, foreign conflicts, crime and the economy. Harris earned more support when it comes to health care, but the two are tied for political extremism and threats.

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Trump leads Harris by 0.2 percentage points.

The survey was conducted July 31 to Aug. 7 based on a representative probability sample of 2,045 adults from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
