VP leads former president in six US swing states and is tied in seventh, according to Bloomberg poll of likely voters
\n Pennsylvania
\nDemocratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris holds a narrow lead over Republican rival Donald Trump in six US swing states and is tied in a seventh, according to a Bloomberg poll of likely voters released on Friday.
\nHer leads in individual states are within the poll\u2019s statistical margin of error, underscoring that the November 5 contest could be decided by the narrowest of margins, it said.
\nThe Bloomberg News\/Morning Consult poll shows Harris leading by 7% points in Nevada, 5% points in Pennsylvania, 3% points in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin, and 2% points in North Carolina.
\nThe two are tied in Georgia.
\nAcross the seven states, Harris is ahead by 3% points among likely voters, a lead that is 2% points higher than last month.
\nIn a sign of her recent momentum, some 47% of likely voters think she will win the election, regardless of whether they back her, compared with the roughly 40% who said Trump would win.
\nA new Reuters\/Ipsos poll earlier this month showed Trump\u2019s campaign vow to increase tariffs on imported goods has the support of a narrow majority of voters, illustrating his economic advantage over Harris.
\nA New York Times poll of battleground states released on Monday showed Trump was narrowly ahead in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
\nThe Bloomberg poll said Trump still maintained an advantage over Harris on who would be better at handling the economy, but his lead is narrowing. His advantage was just 4% points in the latest poll, down from 6% points in August.
\nOn the question of immigration, Trump enjoys a 14-point trust advantage among likely voters, even though during a September 10 debate he amplified a false claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating residents\u2019 pets.
\nThe poll surveyed 6,165 registered voters in seven swing states and was conducted online from September 19 to September 25.
\nLikely voters totalled 5,692. For both registered and likely voters, the statistical margin of error is plus or minus 1% point across the seven states.
\nFor the individual states, the margin of error was 3% points in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and 4 points in Nevada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
