Harris vs. Trump: New poll shows candidate leading in 6 of 7 swing states

A new poll brings good news for former President Donald Trump.

A new poll from AtlasIntel, which The New York Times cited as one of its select pollsters, shows Republican Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, in six of the seven closest swing states.

The poll showed Trump, the former president, in Arizona with 3.5%, in Georgia with 3.4%, in Pennsylvania with 2.7%, in Michigan with 1.2%, in Nevada with 0.9% and in Wisconsin is ahead by 0.5%.

In North Carolina, the only one of the seven states where Harris was ahead, the incumbent vice president was ahead by 0.5%.

The sample size varied from state to state, ranging from 983 in Michigan to 1,665 in North Carolina. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%, so all seven state competitions were within the margin of error.

The survey was conducted between October 25th and 29th.

The results represented, in some cases, a reversal from the company’s previous poll, released Oct. 17, when Harris led in Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin in the same poll.

Overall, the polls show an extremely close race five days before election day.

The New York Times polling average shows Trump with a 3% lead in Arizona, a 2% lead in Georgia, a 1% lead in Pennsylvania and a lead of less than 1% in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Harris has a lead of less than 1% in Michigan. Both Nevada and Wisconsin are considered dead.

FiveThirtyEight, an election tracker owned by ABC News, largely agrees with the Times. It shows that Harris has a small lead in Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan, while Trump has a narrow lead in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona.

None of the leads are larger than 2%.
