Hold onto your hats, folks! According to one of the most thorough polls released this summer, Donald Trump is in the driver's seat in most crucial battleground states – but the competition is getting fierce! The survey, conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies and The Telegraph from July 22-24, shows that the former president is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in seven out of nine states.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
- Arizona: Trump 46%, Harris 43%
- Florida: Trump 47%, Harris 39%
- Georgia: Trump 47%, Harris 42%
- Michigan: Trump 44%, Harris 41%
- Nevada: Trump 45%, Harris 43%
- North Carolina: Trump 46%, Harris 43%
- Pennsylvania: Trump 46%, Harris 42%
Looks like the Sunshine State is shining even brighter for Republicans with an impressive 8-point lead for Trump!
Harris' Few Wins
But don't count Harris out just yet. She's holding her ground in a couple of places:
- Minnesota: Harris 44%, Trump 41% (remember, no Republican presidential nominee has won here since Nixon in '72)
- Wisconsin: It's a nail-biter with both tied at 44%
Outperforming Joe With a Few Exceptions
The poll also highlights that Harris is doing slightly better than Biden did in some states like Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina. However, she's trailing behind his numbers in Florida and Michigan and matching his performance in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Overall, the RealClearPolitics polling average indicates that Trump has a 1.7-point lead over Harris nationally. On the day Biden dropped out, Trump had an average lead of 3.1 points nationally.
Despite Harris' rise thanks to a reinvigorated Democratic Party base, the overall picture remains pretty consistent – Trump is maintaining a steady lead. This race is heating up, and it's anyone's game, but Trump's supporters have a lot to be optimistic about, provided they don't get complacent!
Stay tuned, stay engaged and let's keep the momentum going! Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments. What's your take on the latest poll results? Do they check out with what you're seeing on the ground?

It is beyond my comprehension why anybody would vote for Harris considering the damage she and O’Biden have done to this country. Her rudeness towards Netanyahu last week is inexcusable, and I cannot imagine her representing the United States on the world stage. Although she cannot be any worse than O’Biden, I am hoping.
