The New York Times and Siena College polls are some of the first high-quality surveys in the states since US President Joe Biden announced he would no longer run for re-election.
Vice President Kamala Harris leads former president Donald Trump in three crucial battleground states, according to new surveys byand Siena College, the latest indication of a dramatic reversal in standing for Democrats after President Joe Biden’s departure from the presidential race remade it.
While the reshaped race is still in its volatile early weeks, Democrats are now in a notably stronger position in these three battleground states. Still, the results show vulnerabilities for Harris: voters prefer Trump when it comes to whom they trust to handle the economy and immigration, issues that remain central to the presidential race.
Much of the newfound Democratic strength stems from improved voter perceptions of Harris. Her favourability rating has increased 10 percentage points among registered voters in Pennsylvania just in the past month, according to Times/Siena polling. Voters also view Harris as more intelligent and more temperamentally fit to govern than Trump.
Candidates traditionally gain a few percentage points in the days after announcing their running mates; Harris announced her selection ofof Minnesota on Tuesday, as voters were responding to the Times/Siena surveys in Michigan and Wisconsin.
