The US presidential race will be decided in the swing states, but three national polls point to trends on the economy and the candidate of «change.»
With less than a month before the November general election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are barnstorming the major swing states as they aim to rev up their respective bases and sway undecided voters.
The presidential election will be decided in battlegrounds like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, but national polls can also point to larger electoral trends.
One thing is certain: The race remains incredibly close.
Of the three major national polls released on Sunday, Harris retained an edge in two surveys while both candidates were tied in another.
In the latest CBS News/YouGov poll, Harris had a three-point lead over Trump (51% to 48%) among likely voters. And Harris also led in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll by two points (50% to 48%) among likely voters.
But Harris and Trump were tied in the latest NBC News survey (48% to 48%) among registered voters, with the former president erasing a five-point lead for the vice president last month.
What do these results say about where the race is headed?The economy remains key
One constant in the presidential race is the importance of economic issues in voters’ minds.
