Tight Race Between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in Key States of Michigan and Wisconsin
According to a recent opinion poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican opponent Donald Trump are in a closely contested race in the critical swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin. The poll, released on Saturday, shows Harris with a narrow lead over Trump in both states.
Michigan and Wisconsin Poll Results
In Michigan, the poll reveals that Harris has the support of 48% of likely voters, with Trump closely trailing at 47%. Similarly, in Wisconsin, Harris holds a slight advantage with 49% support compared to Trump’s 47%. These results indicate that both states, which are expected to play a pivotal role in the upcoming election, remain highly competitive.
Polling Methodology
The New York Times/Siena College poll was conducted via telephone interviews between September 21 and 26. The poll sampled 688 likely voters in Michigan and 680 in Wisconsin. The margin of error for the surveys is approximately plus or minus four percentage points, meaning the race in these states remains statistically close.
Harris’s Lead in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District
The poll also highlights Harris’s significant lead in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, where she is ahead by nine percentage points. This district’s single electoral vote has the potential to be a key factor in determining the outcome of the Electoral College in a close national election.
