New polling by The New York Times and Siena College is good news for former President Donald Trump and is another indication that the early \u201centhusiasm gap\u201d Vice President Kamala Harris enjoyed has faded.<\/p>\n

According to the polling, Trump now leads Harris by five points in Arizona, 50-45 percent, as well as Georgia (49-45 percent) and North Carolina (49-47 percent).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe polls of these three states, taken from Sept. 17 to 21, presented further evidence that in a sharply divided nation, the presidential contest is shaping up to be one of the tightest in history,\u201d the Times noted<\/a>, citing the polling data.<\/p>\n

Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are among the seven key battleground states where both the Trump and Harris campaigns have concentrated their efforts since Labor Day. Harris has demonstrated notable strength in several crucial Midwestern states, with Pennsylvania being particularly critical to her presidential aspirations, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Arizona, a state President Joe Biden narrowly won by just over 10,400 votes in 2020, now poses a significant challenge for the Harris campaign. An August Times\/Siena poll found Harris leading by five percentage points, but Latino voters appear to be shifting away from her. Notably, 10 percent of Latino voters remain undecided, however.<\/p>\n
