Shock poll shows candidate with MAJOR surge in key swing state that could decide election
With 38 days to go until Election Day, a new Fox News poll showed Kamala Harris taking the lead in the state of Georgia, one of the most important swing states.
The vice president received 51 percent of support from registered and likely voters in the Southern state, while Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received 48 percent.
Harris rose 50 percent to 48 percent among registered voters.
The poll also revealed that more Georgians see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class and protect democracy by a margin of three points each from 52 to 45 percent.
On the issue of abortion, Harris takes the lead with 18 points.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris received 51 percent of support from registered and likely voters in the southern state of Georgia, while Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received 48 percent.
Republican Donald Trump is ahead of the vice president when it comes to handling immigration, by 15 points
However, Trump is ahead of the vice president when it comes to handling immigration, by 15 points.
In terms of party loyalty, Democrats support Harris by a margin of four percentage points than Republicans support Trump, with one in five non-MAGA Republicans favoring Harris.
Independents also favor Harris by 13 points.
According to Fox News, Harris is drawing support in Georgia from black voters, urban voters, people under 30 and women.
It comes as a Harvard University poll showed Tuesday that the divide is widening among young voters choosing between Harris and Trump.
Figures showed Harris beating Trump by 31 points among people ages 18 to 29 who are likely to vote in the upcoming Nov. 5 election — a dramatic reversal from this spring’s Harvard poll, which showed President Biden with Trump had only a 13-point lead among likely youth voters.
That was alarming news at the time for Democrats, who generally do better among young voters, and likely reflected the age of then-Democratic nominee for president Biden, 81.
After Biden dropped out of the race in July and was replaced by the much younger Harris, 59, things changed dramatically for the race and that is reflected in the young voter results.
“This poll shows a significant shift in the general mood and preferences of young Americans as the campaign enters its final stretch,” John Della Volpe, former IOP polling director, told Fox News. “Vice President Harris has strengthened the Democratic position among young voters and led Trump on key issues and personal qualities.”
