Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, is gaining momentum in the 2024 US election race, particularly in crucial swing states. Following Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, recent polls indicate that Harris is neck and neck with Donald Trump, with a slight edge in several states, showcasing a significant shift in voter sentiment.
According to a Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll, Harris has a two-point lead over Trump in key swing states among registered voters and a one-point lead among likely voters. The states where Harris is performing well include Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, highlighting her growing appeal among voters.
In a separate Fox News poll, Harris is reported to be leading Trump in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, indicating a potential 'Kamala Harris effect' as she capitalizes on the Democratic convention's enthusiasm. This trend reversal is noteworthy, especially considering Biden's previous standing in these states before his exit from the race.
The Trump campaign has expressed skepticism regarding the accuracy of these polls, citing past discrepancies, but the impact of these findings on undecided voters could be significant as the election approaches. The upcoming debates between Harris and Trump are also highly anticipated, as both candidates prepare to engage directly with voters.
