Things aren’t looking for Harris.
Donald Trump has regained his footing in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania, recently overtaking Kamala Harris in the latest polling averages. According to RealClearPolitics, which aggregates multiple surveys, Trump currently leads Harris by a narrow margin of 0.2 points, securing 48.1% of voter support compared to her 47.9%. This marks a significant turnaround from just a few weeks ago when Harris held a slight advantage.
Polling data, collected between September 11 and 29, reflects a tight race as we move closer to the 2024 election. Nationally, Harris maintains a lead of 2.8 points, but it’s important to remember that the Electoral College allows for a candidate to win the presidency while losing the popular vote, as Trump demonstrated in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.
This recent polling marks the first time since mid-September that Trump has surged ahead in Pennsylvania. Previously, he enjoyed a more comfortable lead against Joe Biden before Biden’s withdrawal and Harris’s subsequent rise in popularity. The dynamics of this race are continually shifting, with Harris initially overtaking Trump after she entered the race in late August.
Among the polling organizations contributing to this average are well-respected names such as Trafalgar Group and FOX News. Notably, a recent Trafalgar survey highlighted Trump’s strength in Pennsylvania, indicating he holds a lead of over 2 points among likely voters. Kush Desai, spokesperson for the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, emphasized that the media has consistently underestimated Trump’s support, arguing that voters are increasingly dissatisfied with the current administration’s handling of key issues.
Desai stated, “Americans face a clear choice this election: more of the same with rising costs and border insecurity under Kamala Harris, or a return to the prosperity and stability we experienced during the Trump presidency. Pennsylvania is poised to reaffirm its status as TRUMP COUNTRY this November.”
While Trump is gaining ground in Pennsylvania, challenges remain. A recent poll shows him leading Harris by just 2 points in Florida, a state that has shifted solidly toward Republican favor in recent years. The competitive landscape ahead will be crucial as Trump seeks to mobilize his base and attract undecided voters.
As we look forward to November, it’s essential for Republican supporters to remain engaged and energized. The stakes are high, and every vote counts in ensuring that America returns to the policies and leadership that fostered growth and security.
