Southwest Swing States Locked in Tight Race
In two critical battlegrounds, Arizona and Nevada, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is razor-thin, according to new CNN/SSRS polls. With a significant portion of voters already casting early ballots, the polls reveal Harris with a slim 48%-47% edge over Trump in Arizona, while in Nevada, Trump holds a nearly identical lead of 48% to Harris’s 47%. Both margins fall within the polls’ error range, showing no clear frontrunner.
Voters Firm on Key Issues
The surveys highlight that voters in both states have mostly set views on critical issues like the economy, healthcare, and national security. Neither Harris nor Trump has managed to sway a significant number of undecided voters, as both struggle to convince on who would best address these pressing concerns. Despite tight polling, the results show that few voters remain undecided or open to changing their minds as the election approaches.
Character Preferences Offer Little Advantage
Voters appear to view both candidates closely on important personal attributes. Margins remain narrow when it comes to which candidate voters feel “cares about people like them,” shares their vision for America, or is more likely to put national interests over personal gain. The closely divided opinions underscore the competitive nature of the race in these pivotal states, keeping the presidential outcome in suspense.
