Trump holds a five-point advantage in Arizona, leading Harris 50% to 45%, and a similar 49% to 45% lead in Georgia. In North Carolina, the race is tighter, with Trump ahead by just two points, 49% to 47%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poll, conducted from September 17-21, surveyed 2,077 likely voters across the three states. Victories in Arizona and Georgia would mark significant gains for Trump, as President Biden won both states in the 2020 election. Arizona, in particular, represents a notable shift; a previous Times poll in August had Harris leading by five points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-polls-reflect-shifting-dynamics\">Polls Reflect Shifting Dynamics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York Times poll follows a recent Fox News national survey that showed Harris leading Trump by two points, 50% to 48%. This marks a three-point shift since August when Trump had a narrow lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the August poll, several events have unfolded that could influence voter sentiment, including endorsements and a high-profile debate. The landscape remains highly competitive, with both candidates jockeying for positions in battleground states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-implications-for-the-electoral-college\">Implications for the Electoral College<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Republican pollsters are optimistic about Trump&#8217;s chances, noting that national polls showing a close race could favor him in the Electoral College. Historically, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016 but won the presidency by securing key swing states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\u201cOur best estimates are that if Trump is within two points of Harris nationally, then he will likely win in the Electoral College,\u201d said Republican pollster Daron Shaw. Recent data suggest that Trump\u2019s edge in key counties and battleground states may support this outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a New York Times poll released Monday, former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in three critical swing states.
