Mon Sep 23 22:30:52 UTC 2024: ## Trump Leads Harris in Key Swing States, New Poll Shows

**Washington, D.C.** – Former President Donald Trump is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in three crucial swing states, according to a new poll released Monday by the New York Times. The poll, conducted between Sept. 17-21, surveyed 2,077 likely voters in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Trump holds a five-point lead in Arizona (50%-45%) and a similar advantage in Georgia (49%-45%). The race is closer in North Carolina, with Trump leading Harris by two points (49%-47%).

These results represent a significant shift in Arizona, where a previous Times poll in August showed Harris leading by five points. Both Arizona and Georgia were won by President Biden in 2020, making them key battleground states for the 2024 election.

The Times poll comes after a national Fox News survey found Harris leading Trump by two points (50%-48%) in a head-to-head matchup. This poll, however, also showed a 3-percentage-point shift since mid-August, suggesting a tighter race than previously thought.

The latest poll findings highlight the ongoing battle for swing states in the 2024 presidential election. Both campaigns are focusing their efforts on mobilizing voters and securing key endorsements in these critical states.
