Vice President Kamala Harris is currently leading former President Donald J. Trump in Michigan by 50% to 46%, according to a recent poll by the New York Times and Siena College. Harris also holds a similar lead in the swing states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
The margin of error for the Michigan poll is ±4.8 points, for Pennsylvania ±4.2 points, and for Wisconsin ±4.3 points.
These polls, conducted from August 5 to 9, are among the first high-quality surveys since President Biden announced he would not seek re-election. Previously, polls had mostly shown a close race or a slight lead for Trump over Biden.
Although the race is still evolving, these results indicate a stronger position for Democrats in these crucial battleground states. However, Harris faces challenges, as voters tend to trust Trump more on issues like the economy and immigration, which are significant in the presidential race.
