Shock poll shows candidate with MAJOR surge in key swing state

0

With 38 days to go until Election Day, a new Fox News poll revealed Kamala Harris is taking the lead in the state of Georgia, one of the key swing states.

The vice president received 51 per cent of support from registered and likely voters in the southern state, while Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received 48 per cent.

Harris was up 50 per cent 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 three point margin each at 52 percent to 45 per cent.

In regards to the issue of abortion, Harris takes the lead with 18 points.

Trump, however, is ahead of the vice president when it comes to handling immigration, with 15 points.

As for party loyalty, by a four-percentage point margin, more Democrats support Harris than Republicans back Trump, with one in five non-MAGA Republicans rooting for Harris.

Independents also favour Harris by 13 points.

According to Fox News, Harris gets her support in Georgia from Black voters, urban voters, people under 30 and women.

It comes as a poll by Harvard University on Tuesday showed a widening gap among young voters choosing between Harris and Trump.

Numbers showed that Harris was beating Trump by 31 points among people aged 18-29 who are likely to vote in the upcoming November 5 election – a dramatic switch from Harvard’s survey from this spring, which had President Biden leading Trump by just 13 points among likely youth voters.

That was alarming news for Democrats at the time, who generally do better among young voters, and likely reflected the age of the then-Democratic candidate for president, Biden, 81.

After Biden dropped out of the race in July to be replaced by the much younger Harris, 59, things changed dramatically for the race and that is reflected in the young voter results.

‘This poll reveals a significant shift in the overall vibe and preferences of young Americans as the campaign heads into the final stretch,’ longtime IOP polling director John Della Volpe told Fox News. ‘Vice President Harris has strengthened the Democratic position among young voters, leading Trump on key issues and personal qualities.’
