Trump Takes Sizeable Polling Lead In Democrat-Dominant State

ormer President Donald Trump got another round of good news late last week in the form of a new survey in a state that has long been dominated by Democrats

.

The Wall Street Journal on Friday released the results from a poll that surveyed swing state voters about the 2024 election, and while Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are nearly deadlocked in all of them, one state in particular — Nevada — was an exception.

The poll, released Friday morning, indicates that Trump has taken a commanding lead in Nevada with 47 percent compared to Harris’s 42 percent. In the other six states, the race is essentially a tie, with the candidates separated by 2 points or less. Harris is ahead by 1 or 2 points in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, while Trump has 1-point leads in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for each state. In the swing states surveyed, 600 registered voters were polled between September 28 and October 8, and the poll included third-party candidates in states where they will be on the ballot.

Overall, among the swing-state voters surveyed, Trump leads Harris 46 percent to 45 percent. Ninety-three percent of both Democrats and Republicans indicated they would support their party’s nominee. Independent voters were evenly divided, with 40 percent favoring Harris and 39 percent supporting Trump, highlighting the tightness of the race and its partisan divide, the WSJ found.

The Journal’s poll also included questions about which candidate was perceived as more capable of leading on specific issues.

When asked who would be “best able” to handle the economy—the top concern for the surveyed voters—Trump outperformed Harris in every state, leading 50 percent to 40 percent overall. Respondents also expressed greater trust in Trump regarding inflation and immigration issues. Conversely, Harris was deemed more trustworthy on abortion, with a 51 percent to 35 percent advantage.
