Presidential polls live updates: Kamala Harris leads Trump with suburban voters with 26 days until the election

By Katelyn Caralle, senior US political reporter

Kamala Harris has taken the lead among suburban voters and middle-income families — demographics that were critical to Donald Trump’s 2016 victory.

And among middle-income households, Harris is now two points ahead of the former president: 45 to 43 percent.

While it is important to gain ground among these voting blocs in November, the real numbers that will determine the outcome are those of voters in the seven swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

A poll from the Global Strategy Group released this week shows Trump leading in two swing states, Harris leading in three and the nominees tied in the remaining two.

Trump holds Michigan and right-wing North Carolina by a margin of two and one point, respectively.

Meanwhile, Harris has a one-point lead in both Arizona and blue-leaning Nevada and a two-point lead in Wisconsin.

The two are tied at 48 percent in Pennsylvania and 47 percent in Georgia.
