Trump leads Kamala in battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, tied in Nevada: polls

GOP nominee Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in the battleground states of Georgia as well as Arizona according to two recent polls. In the Peach State, Trump is up by four points, and in Grand Canyon State, the GOP nominee is leading by three. They are also tied in the swing state of Nevada.

According to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) poll, Trump is up 47 to 43 points ahead of Harris in Georgia. Likewise, an Insider Advantage poll has Trump up 50 to 47 percent in Arizona, a key battleground state for the former president.



The Insider Advantage poll also took stock of voters in the battleground state of Nevada and found that Harris and Trump are tied at 48 points. The AJC poll surveyed likely voters in Georgia and found that about eight percent of them are undecided. The poll was done between Oct. 7 and 16 and had a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.

Those taking the survey were asked, "If the election for president were being held today, and the candidates were Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Kamala Harris, Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Green Jill Stein, for whom would you vote?" 47 percent were with Trump, 43 percent were with Harris, eight percent were undecided and one percent went with other candidates. 

One twist in the Georgia poll is how negatively Harris is doing with men; fewer than three out of 10 men are planning to vote for Harris in the Peach state, according to the poll. Only 28 percent of men that were polled back the Vice President's campaign.

Looking at Arizona, Republicans and Democrats were both overwhelmingly voting for their party's candidates, but with independent voters, 49.5 percent of those surveyed were going for Trump compared to 43.5 percent for Harris, showing a six-point favorability to Trump in the Arizona election. Also indicative of the GOP nominee's support in Arizona was who people thought their neighbors would be voting for.

When asked, "In the race for president, how do you believe the majority of your neighbors will vote?" 23.1 percent said their neighbors would be voting for Harris while 47.7 percent said that others close by them would be voting for Trump. 28.9 percent said they were not sure. 

In the same poll for Arizona, GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake is trailing Rueben Gallego 45.8 to 50 points. The polls come as Trump has appeared to have momentum in recent weeks as Harris has been struggling to pull ahead in the key swing states needed to win in the election. Pennsylvania, perhaps one of the most key swing states come November 5, was leaning three points to Trump in one of the latest polls this week. 
 

The Insider Advantage poll surveyed 800 likely voters in both Arizona and Nevada between October 19 and 20. The Arizona poll had a margin of error of 3 percent and the Nevada poll had a margin of error of 3.52 percent.
