Arizona is one of at least seven swing states that could prove pivotal in deciding the outcome of November’s election.
Vice President Kamala Harris is closing the gap on former President Donald Trump in Arizona, according to freshly released poll results.
A poll released on Tuesday by AARP shows the former president leading the vice president in Arizona by 2 percentage points among likely voters, with 49 percent of respondents supporting Trump and 47 percent supporting Harris.
In June, before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the same poll showed that Trump was ahead in the state by 8 points, leading Biden among likely voters by 45 percent to 37 percent.
Harris gained support in the new poll among voters aged 18 to 34 and voters over 65. Trump’s lead among seniors was cut from 8 points to just 1 point, while a 2-point Republican edge among young voters turned into a 9-point advantage for Democrats.
The AARP poll was conducted by Democratic firm Impact Research and Republican firm Fabrizio Ward, which was co-founded by Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio.
