Former President Donald Trump is trailing Vice President Kamala Harris in two crucial states, while the third state remains uncertain.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows that Harris is ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and that the rivals are statistically tied in Wisconsin.
Trump won all three so-called “blue wall” states from Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, giving him a victory in the Electoral College.
In 2020, President Joe Biden ensured that the three states returned to the Democratic Party.
Harris now holds a six percentage point lead in Pennsylvania — 51 percent to 45 percent — while Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver each hold 1 percent.

The margin of error in Pennsylvania is plus or minus 2.7 percent.
In Michigan, Harris has a five-point lead over Trump, 50 percent to 45 percent, while Stein gets 2 percent of the vote.
Her lead is just outside the margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.
In Wisconsin, Harris holds a 1-point lead — 48 percent to Trump’s 47 percent — while Stein received 1 percent of the vote.
That poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
Voters in the three states narrowly believe that Trump is the best leader on the economy and immigration, but that Harris is by far the best when it comes to abortion.
In Pennsylvania, 57 percent say Harris would do a better job of handling the abortion issue, compared to 38 percent who see Trump as the best.
In Michigan, 53 percent said Harris and 42 percent said Trump. In Wisconsin, 53 percent also said Harris, while 40 percent said Trump.
Harris had an edge when asked which candidate was best for “preserving democracy.”
She held a narrow lead when Americans in the three states were asked which candidate would best handle a crisis.
In Pennsylvania, 49 percent said Harris and 47 percent said Trump.
In Michigan, 51 percent said Harris, 47 percent said Trump, and in Wisconsin — where Harris has the smallest lead — 49 percent said Harris and 48 percent said Trump.
Harris returns to Wisconsin to campaign on Friday, while Trump travels to Pennsylvania for a rally on Monday evening.
