Harris’s post-nomination bump appears to be dwindling heading into the final stretch.
Former President Donald Trump is gaining support in the polls with just a few weeks left before the presidential election is decided.
Several recent national polls show the Republican presidential nominee on the rebound after initially losing ground amid Vice President Kamala Harris’s bump to the top of the Democratic ticket.
Those results mark an improvement for Trump since mid-September, when he trailed Harris by five points in the same poll.
Among all 600 voters surveyed, Trump leads Harris 46 to 45 percent. At the state level, the former president holds a one-point advantage in both North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and a substantial five-point lead in Nevada—just outside the four-point margin of error. Harris, on the other hand, holds a slight edge in each of the other four states.
Overall, the latest polls indicate a tightening race heading into the last three weeks of the election, with Harris’s post-nomination bump dwindling heading into the final stretch.
Both candidates are ramping up their blitzes in swing states this week, with Harris slated to make stops in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will also make an appearance in North Carolina to mark the start of the state’s early voting period.
Trump will start the week off with events in Pennsylvania and Georgia. His vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), will follow those up with solo stops in Pennsylvania and North Carolina later in the week.
